Waikoloa, Hawaii - Controlled studies show water from thermal springs in Avene, France, reduces inflammation, pruritis, and erythema, according to a general practitioner whose employer markets the water. The water is effective in treating psoriasis, inflammation caused by laser treatments, and mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, said Fran?ois Verriere, M.D., at the Hawaii Dermatology Seminar.
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.
