Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease affecting people of all ages. There is currently no cure for AA, and a highly efficacious therapy for severe AA has been elusive. Recently, scientific advances have identified the Janus kinase pathway as a target for treatment. Both Janus kinase inhibitors approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, tofacitinib and ruxolitinib, have shown promise in open-label clinical trials. This review summarizes the results of long-term use of tofacitinib in severe AA.
