research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil Initiation for Patients With Hair Loss

research Patient Profile and Treatment Characteristics of Early Ritlecitinib Initiators in the US
This study examined the early integration of ritlecitinib into real-world practice for treating severe Alopecia Areata (AA) following its FDA approval in June 2023. Analyzing data from 150 patients, the study found that 72% were prescribed ritlecitinib by dermatologists, with a patient demographic of over half being female, 52% adolescents, and 78% commercially insured. Notably, 30% had alopecia totalis/universalis, and various comorbidities were present, including autoimmune, atopic, and mental/emotional disorders. Prior to ritlecitinib, 34% of adolescents and 24% of adults had no AA treatments, while others used systemic immunomodulators or corticosteroids. The findings indicate that ritlecitinib is being prescribed to a diverse patient group, offering new opportunities for AA treatment. The study was funded by Pfizer Inc.
