learn Tofacitinib

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
What types of hair loss conditions are most commonly associated with tofacitinib use in clinical settings? Published studies link tofacitinib mainly to alopecia areata and its severe variants — as an off-label drug being studied for them, not as a cause of hair loss. The evidence is mostly small, open-label or retrospective, and relapse after stopping is commonly reported.
