Abstract

Multiple Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors were developed as potential treatments for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). There is a substantial amount of safety data from recent trials of oral JAK inhibitors in patients with AD. However, the vast majority of safety data for oral JAK inhibitors is derived from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other immune-mediated disorders, and is primarily derived from tofacitinib, a pan-selective JAK inhibitor. This narrative review examines safety data for oral JAK inhibitors from studies in AD and other indications. The available data do demonstrate that rare but serious and life-threatening adverse events can occur with oral JAK inhibitor treatment and should be carefully considered in therapeutic shared decision making.
