Janus Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis: Focus on Abrocitinib, Baricitinib, and Upadacitinib

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a clinically heterogenous, inflammatory skin condition with a high impact on patients’ daily activities that remains difficult to treat. The knowledge acquired over the last decade on AD pathophysiology and disease burden led to the development of new targeted therapeutic...
