Key clinical point: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors were safe and effective in reducing the intensity of signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) with significant improvements observed for Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) scores.
Major finding: Patients receiving JAK inhibitors showed significant improvements in both total EASI score (mean difference [MD], −0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.46 to −0.17) and pruritus NRS score (MD, −1.15; 95% CI, −1.48 to −0.83). The risk of total adverse events was not significantly different between JAK inhibitor and control groups (risk ratio, 1.02; P = .745).
Study details: Findings are from a meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials including 2583 patients with AD, of which 1,761 were in JAK inhibitor and 822 in control groups.
Disclosures: The study did not report any source of funding. No conflicts of interest were reported.
