August 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Farudodstat may help treat alopecia areata by protecting hair follicles.
April 2026 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This study found that activating hair follicle resident T cells in a human organ culture can induce an alopecia areata-like immune response, and that the drug farudodstat partially reduced this effect.
In this study, the researchers used a human hair follicle model to demonstrate that T cell stimulation can induce an alopecia areata–like phenotype, with cell proliferation and immune privilege collapse; however, the DHODH inhibitor farudodstat partially mitigated these effects by reducing T cell proliferation.
This study found that in an ex vivo model simulating alopecia areata, the DHODH inhibitor farudodstat reduced T-cell proliferation and MHC protein expression in hair follicles, suggesting it may protect against immune privilege collapse without cytotoxic effects.
