Alopecia areata is characterized by damage to hair follicles, persistent or temporary non-scarring hair loss. A treatment of severe form of alopecia areata is a difficult task.

The main idea of the article demonstrates clinical examples of the therapy for such patients, which based on the clinical experience. Modern medicine offers a new approach to the treatment of severe forms of alopecia areata, which bases on blocking Janus kinase (JAK). JAK converts and activates the transcription pathway in the pathogenesis of the disease. Currently, FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) has approved two Janus kinase inhibitors: baricitinib and ritlecitinib. Tofacitinib is a representative pan-JAK inhibitor that blocks JAK1/3 but inhibits JAK2 weakly. Tofacitinib hasn’t been approved for alopecia areata by FDA yet.
