"Except for no hair on the head, it is everywhere!" Behind the jokes are the anxiety and unspeakable pain of countless people suffering from hair loss.
Alopecia areata (AA) is the second highest incidence of hair loss in the world.
Today, Eli Lilly and Incyte announced that their JAK inhibitor baricitinib has achieved positive results in the second phase 3 clinical trial BRAVE-AA1 for the treatment of patients with severe alopecia areata.
Baritinib is an oral JAK inhibitor that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial BRAVE-AA1, the proportion of adult patients with severe alopecia who received baritinib (dose 4 mg) for 36 weeks after reaching a scalp hair coverage rate of more than 80% was 35%, significantly better than the placebo group (5%).
These data are consistent with the results of the Phase 3 clinical trial BRAVE-AA2 announced earlier this year.
