[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 269394, member: 3"] Ruxolitinib is a medication that has been shown to induce hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata, a condition that causes patchy or complete hair loss due to an autoimmune response[1][2][3][4][5][6]. In a proof-of-concept study, 20 mg ruxolitinib twice per day for 3-6 months induced significant hair regrowth in 9 of 12 patients with moderate-to-severe alopecia areata[1]. Another study showed that five percent of patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata had significant hair regrowth after treatment with ruxolitinib[6]. Ruxolitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that prevents the JAK enzymes released by inflamed cells from affecting hair follicles[4]. While larger, randomized trials are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib in people with moderate to severe alopecia areata, initial results are very encouraging[6].
