San Francisco - In those children who have alopecia areata, the presence of associated diseases, such as thyroiditis or atopic dermatitis, is not a factor in how they respond to treatment, Wilma F. Bergfeld, M.D., said at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The FDA approval, based on 36-week data from the phase 3 BRAVE-AA-PEDS trial, extends baricitinib access to patients as young as 12 years old with severe alopecia areata.
