Background: While IL-23 inhibitors, which include guselkumab, tildrakizumab, and risankizumab, are currently FDA-approved solely for the treatment of psoriasis, several other inflammatory skin conditions have been associated with elevated IL-23 levels. The purpose of this review is to summarize and interpret the literature surrounding the off-label uses of IL-23 inhibitors in dermatologic practice.

Methods: We conducted searches on PubMed and for clinical trials, observational studies, case series, and case reports assessing use of the three IL-23 inhibitors for non-psoriatic dermatologic conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • - Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disorder that causes loss of pigment, and new treatments like Janus Kinase inhibitors are showing promise for managing it.
  • - A case study involving a 61-year-old man with resistant vitiligo showed significant improvement after using oral Abrocitinib, a JAK inhibitor, for 2 months after prior treatments plateaued.
  • - More research, including ongoing clinical trials, is essential to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of these oral Janus Kinase inhibitors for treating vitiligo.

Circadian clock gene expression and polymorphism in non-segmental vitiligo.

Mol Biol Rep

January 2024

Department of Clinical and Molecular Parasitology, National Liver Institute, Menoufia University, Shebin AlKom, Egypt.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired and progressive mucocutaneous disease with the damage of functioning epidermal melanocytes. Metabolic syndrome is associated with inflammatory skin diseases incorporating vitiligo. The circadian dysfunction triggers the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, so our study aimed to determine the relationship between aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like gene, a ligand-activated transcription factor and sensor of environmental chemicals, expression and polymorphism with non-segmental vitiligo, as well as its effect on lipid profile.

Alpelisib plus fulvestrant is a valid second or advanced line of treatment for patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who harbor an activating PIK3CA mutation. The well-known side effects of alpelisib are hyperglycemia, rash, and diarrhea. Herein, we report a case of a woman who developed diffuse depigmented macules on the face, arms and legs, three months after initiating alpelisib.
