Mini-review summarizes clinical application and mechanisms of JAK inhibitors in atopic dermatitis treatment, highlighting their role.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disorder associated with heterogenous presentation and immense patient burden. Previous therapeutic drugs include topical glucocorticoids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, oral antihistamines, systemic immunosuppressants, glucocorticoids and biologcis, etc. In recent years, a variety of small molecule drugs have been approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.Two selective JAK inhibitors Upadacitinib and Abrocitinib, have been approved for AD treatment indications in China. This mini-review summarizes the clinical application of these two drugs in the treatment of AD, including the underlying molecular mechanisms, clinical trials, and clinical experiences, highlighting the value of selective JAK inhibitors in AD therapy.
