Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has a complex etiology that includes Th2 polarization, which is accompanied by the cytokines IL4, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-31, as well as Th17 and Th22, and in chronic lesions, Th1 cells. Tofacitinib inhibits Th1-, Th2-, and Th17-associated cytokines by selectively blocking JAK1 and JAK3 receptors. We conducted a multicentric, retrospective chart analysis to study the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in patients with moderate to severe refractory AD.
