Recent studies showed that the dysregulated activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, which leads to the prolonged release of IFN-γ, is a significant contributor to the resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer immunotherapy. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of JAK inhibitors with PD-1 immunotherapy can reverse or delay onset of immunotherapy resistance by modulating the JAK/STAT pathway in Hodgkin's lymphoma and non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SHR0302, being a highly selective JAK1 inhibitor, has shown excellent clinical benefits by effectively inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway, leading to its approval for the treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis in China. Preclinical studies also show that the combination of SHR0302 and PD-L1 inhibitor has synergistic potentials for anti-tumor effect in resistant to-immune checkpoint blockade patients. Thus, we conducted a phase 2 clinical trial evaluating SHR0302 combined with PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors as treatment-naïve or acquired resistant to first-line checkpoint inhibitor resistant NSCLC patients.

The Relative Efficacy and Safety of Monotherapies for Alopecia Areata: A Network Meta‐Analysis Study

Review

Author: Mirmirani, Paradi ; Bamimore, Mary A. ; Piguet, Vincent ; Talukder, Mesbah ; Gupta, Aditya K.

ABSTRACT:

Background:

Scant evidence exists for the relative efficacy of therapies for alopecia areata (AA)—including those approved by the Food and Drug Administration, namely, baricitinib, deuruxolitinib, and ritlecitinib.

Aims:

We determined the relative efficacy and safety of monotherapy with janus kinase inhibitors (JAKIs), apremilast, and dupilumab.

Methods:

Following a systematic review, we conducted Bayesian network meta‐analysis (NMAs) that produced Surface Under the Cumulative RAnking (SUCRA) values and point estimates for pairwise relative effects; we also performed sensitivity analyses.

Results:

In total, regimens with eight various JAKIs were compared, namely, ruxolitinib, ATI‐501, baricitinib, brepocitinib, deuruxolitinib, ivarmacitinib, ritlecitinib, and tofacitinib. Our analyses ranked “deuruxolitinib 12 mg twice daily for 24 weeks,” the most efficacious insofar as “proportion of participants achieving SALT ≤ 20 at 24 weeks” (SALT20) (SUCRA = 92.6%), and “proportion of participants achieving SALT ≤ 10 at 24 weeks” (SALT10) (SUCRA = 97.7%). As per SALT20, the highest‐ranked regimen was more efficacious than “baricitinib 2 mg once daily for 24 weeks” (odds ratio [OR] = 5.37, 95% credible interval [CI] = 1.59, 13.70, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the efficacy of the FDA‐approved JAKIs exhibited a dose‐dependent relationship; for instance, baricitinib 4 mg once daily for 24 weeks was more efficacious than “baricitinib 2 mg once daily for 24 weeks” in terms of SALT20 (OR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.56, 3.21, p < 0.05). Results from our sensitivity analyses support that our base analyses were robust.

Conclusions:

We produced high‐quality evidence on the comparative effectiveness of monotherapies for AA with various regimens of 8 JAKIs, including the FDA‐approved ones. Our findings can improve clinicians' decision‐making and update guidelines for medical practice.

SHR0302 Improves Treg/Th17 Imbalance in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Article

Author: Jaafar, Halmat M ; Maroof, Avin Mohammad Arif ; Mohammad, Talar Ahmad Merza

IL-6-mediated JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in the development of Th17 cells, which play an essential role in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To evaluation of the regulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of the JAK1/STAT3 inhibition in SLE, we evaluated the effects of SHR0302 on regulatory T cell (Treg)/Th17 balance. Thirty-two patients with SLE and twenty-nine healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. The mRNA expression levels of anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as FOXP3, ROR-γt, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-21, and IRF-4, were determined using real-time PCR, and the cytokine levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were analyzed by ELISA. The frequency and in vitro development of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg and Th17 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry. SHR0302 could increase the mRNA expression and cytokine level of Treg-related molecules. Furthermore, numbers of Treg cells were increased, after treatment with SHR0302. In contrast, the mRNA expression level of Th17-related molecules, ROR-γt, IL-17A, and IL-21, were decreased. Reduction of inflammatory cytokine levels was a confirmation of the modulating effect of the SHR0302, including IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, and IFN-γ. In addition, frequency of Th17 cells were reduced by SHR0302. Our study shows that SHR0302 regulating the JAK1/STAT3 pathway can be a new treatment option for SLE.

Butyrolactone I blocks the transition of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease in mice by targeting JAK1

Article

Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease that affects more than 850 million people. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common cause of CKD, and blocking the AKI–CKD transition shows promising therapeutic potential. Herein, we found that butyrolactone I (BLI), a natural product, exerts significant nephroprotective effects, including maintenance of kidney function, inhibition of inflammatory response, and prevention of fibrosis, in both folic acid‐ and ureteral obstruction‐induced AKI–CKD transition mouse models. Notably, BLI showed greater blood urea nitrogen reduction and anti‐inflammatory effects than telmisartan. Bioinformatics analysis and target confirmation assays suggested that BLI directly binds to JAK1, and kinase inhibition assay confirmed it is a potent JAK1inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.376 µM. Experiments in JAK1‐knockdown mice also proved that BLI targets JAK1 to work. Furthermore, BLI demonstrated nephroprotective effects and safety comparable to ivarmacitinib, the well‐known JAK1 inhibitor. Mechanistically, BLI targets JAK1 and inhibits its phosphorylation and JAK‐STAT activation, subsequently regulating the downstream signaling pathways to inhibit reactive oxygen species production, inflammation, and ferroptosis, thereby preventing the occurrence of kidney fibrosis and blocking the AKI–CKD transition process. This study demonstrates for the first time that BLI is a JAK1 inhibitor and a promising candidate for delaying CKD progression, which warrants further investigation.

American Academy of Dermatology, March 7 to 11

The annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology was held from March 7 to 11 in Orlando, Florida, and attracted clinicians, academicians, allied health professionals, and others interested in dermatology. The conference highlighted recent advances in the diagnosis and management of dermatological conditions. During one presentation, Joshua Cook, M.D., of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, noted that targeting insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia is important not only for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, but potentially also independently for improving metabolism-related inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. Cook discussed the tight epidemiologic connection between obesity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory skin diseases, especially psoriasis. The mechanistic basis of this connection is likely due to insulin resistance and/or hyperinsulinemia. Cook noted that hyperinsulinemia likely drives excessive proliferation and inflammation of skin lesions in psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases, even in the setting of systemic insulin resistance. "We are currently performing clinical studies to better understand the role of insulin action in psoriasis," Cook said. "Health care providers should strongly consider screening patients with overweight/obesity and inflammatory skin diseases with hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, and lipid profiles. Treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may improve inflammatory skin disease activity (an area of active research). There may also be roles for metformin and pioglitazone in inflammatory skin disease treatment in select patients." Abstract During another presentation, Daniel Charles Butler, M.D., of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, discussed the connection between itch and aging. Butler discussed how itch is very common in the older adult population. He noted there are many etiologic contributors to itch, including the immune system, the skin barrier, and the cutaneous nerves, all of which are uniquely impacted by aging. "As practicing clinicians, we need to substantiate itch as a real, impactful but targetable symptom and disease," Butler said. "The connection between age and itching allows us to target contributing etiologies with available treatments. For example, itch in older adults is often multifactorial with immunologic changes and neuropathic changes. This allows us to use treatment to target multiple contributors." Butler disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Abstract Adam J. Friedman, M.D., of the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, D.C., discussed how food allergy is an extremely rare cause of chronic urticaria with no identifiable cause (CSU), and some food intolerances may contribute, but responses are highly individualized and elimination diets should only be done in a structured way. Friedman provided insight into how urticaria, both acute and chronic, is a common condition, affecting as many as 80 percent of people at some point in their lives. For approximately 1 percent of individuals who develop chronic urticaria, this condition can last for years, significantly impacting quality of life. While patients often search for a clear trigger, more than two-thirds of cases occur without an identifiable cause. Although food allergies can trigger acute urticaria, particularly in children, when it comes to CSU, food allergy is rarely a culprit. Friedman noted that, instead, he often sees food intolerances or pseudoallergic reactions, which may contribute to symptoms in some individuals. This distinction is important because a true food allergy involves an immune response, and food intolerances tend to be more variable, harder to predict, and less understood. A number of studies have explored dietary interventions in CSU, but the results so far have been mixed at best. "At the end of the day, lifestyle modifications are cost-effective, noninvasive, and worth exploring, but they require proper education and guidance -- both for patients and physicians. This remains an underfunded and underresearched area, but as interest grows, we may gain clearer insights into how diet influences CSU," Friedman said. "While it's tempting to believe that cutting out a few foods might be a silver bullet, CSU is a complex, multifactorial condition. And as with most things in dermatology, there's rarely a one-size-fits-all approach." Friedman disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Abstract Peggy A. Wu, M.D., of the University of California Davis in Sacramento, discussed how systemic contact dermatitis (SCD) is a diagnosis to consider in the setting of a chronic, recalcitrant rash in the right clinical setting, although the diagnosis is not common. Wu discussed how SCD represents a small subset of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) diagnoses. Like ACD, SCD is thought to be a delayed hypersensitivity reaction, and as such, reactions follow exposures in hours to days. SCD can present in a myriad of ways, including, most commonly, vesicular bilateral hand dermatitis, generalized dermatitis, and periorificial dermatitis. Frequent causes of SCD include exposure to nickel, balsam of Peru, and fragrance. The diagnosis is usually made in the setting of a chronic rash with positive patch test results to an allergen with plausible, relevant dietary sources and following topical avoidance of identified allergens. "Physicians should consider the diagnosis of SCD in the setting of a recalcitrant chronic rash with certain phenotypes (vesicular bilateral hand dermatitis, generalized dermatitis, periorificial) and positive patch test reactions to allergen(s) with a possible relevant dietary source," Wu said. "A recommended approach to SCD is to start with a one-month trial of dietary modification. Longer courses of dietary modification may benefit from working with a dietitian to maintain nutritional need." Abstract AAD: Baricitinib Efficacious for Hair Regrowth in Teens With Severe Alopecia Areata TUESDAY, March 18, 2025 -- For adolescents with severe alopecia areata, baricitinib is efficacious for hair regrowth, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, held from March 7 to 11 in Orlando, Florida.

AAD: Ivarmacitinib 4 mg, 8 mg Efficacious for Adults With Severe Alopecia Areata

THURSDAY, March 13, 2025 -- For adults with severe alopecia areata (AA), ivarmacitinib, a selective Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, at doses of 4 and 8 mg is efficacious and tolerable, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, held from March 7 to 11 in Orlando, Florida. Jianzhong Zhang, M.D., of the Peking University People's Hospital in Beijing, and colleagues examined the efficacy and safety of ivarmacitinib in adults with severe AA (≥50 percent scalp hair loss, including alopecia totalis/universalis) in a phase 3 trial. Three hundred thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive either daily oral ivarmacitinib (4 or 8 mg) or placebo for 24 weeks (109, 111, and 110 patients, respectively), followed by a double-blind extension phase of 28 weeks. After 24 weeks, patients receiving placebo were re-randomly assigned to ivarmacitinib 4 or 8 mg. The researchers found that 34.9, 40.6, and 9.0 percent of those assigned to ivarmacitinib 4 mg, 8 mg, and placebo, respectively, achieved a Severity of Alopecia Tool score ≤20 at week 24. The response rate difference versus placebo was 25.6 and 31.6 percent, respectively, for ivarmacitinib 4 mg and 8 mg. Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 77.1, 84.7, and 75.5 percent of those assigned to ivarmacitinib 4 mg, 8 mg, and placebo, respectively, during the placebo-controlled period. No new safety signals emerged. No deaths, thromboembolic events, or major cardiovascular events were reported; one stage III follicular lymphoma case and one thyroid cancer case were reported with ivarmacitinib 4 mg and 8 mg, respectively. "Ivarmacitinib, at 4-mg and 8-mg doses, demonstrated significant efficacy and tolerability in patients with severe AA," the authors write. The study was funded by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, the developer of ivarmacitinib.
