Firstly, she was treated with cyclosporine (CsA), soon discontinued due to gastrointestinal intolerance. She was subsequently treated with steroid pulses, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and mycophenolate (MMF), without improvement...In September 2021 rituximab (RTX) was stopped at the first infusion due to gastrointestinal intolerance...Therapy with various Jak inhibitors was started (first tofacitinib, then baricitinib, finally upadacitinib), leading to improvement of cutaneous ulcers, but stopped every time after a few months due to gastrointestinal intolerance and dizziness...After twelve total infusions, constitutional, articular and cutaneous involvement remained in good control. This case suggests the potential efficacy of ANI in refractory anti-MDA5-positive DM not only on skin manifestation, but also on articular and lung involvement.

The efficacy of ritlecitinib, an oral Janus kinase 3/TEC family inhibitor, has been demonstrated in the Allegro clinical trials...The US Food and Drug Administration issued black box warnings, citing increased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events, malignancies, venous thromboembolism (VTE) and mortality based on data from tofacitinib, baricitinib and upadacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis...The patient received intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics for sepsis of unknown origin, hydrocortisone and vasopressor support for hypotension. She was anticoagulated with dalteparin and transitioned to apixaban as per respiratory advice for unprovoked pulmonary emboli...This case highlights a probable severe adverse event associated with ritlecitinib therapy, including pulmonary emboli and infection of unidentified source, associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation and acute kidney injury in a patient without known risk factors for VTE. Ongoing pharmacovigilance is essential to understand the potential risks associated with Janus kinase inhibitors in AA treatment.

All JAKi reduced EC inflammation but most JAKi could not prevent the up-regulation of adhesion molecules or the increase in procoagulant and the decrease in anticoagulant factors triggered by proinflammatory cytokines. Peficitinib and fedratinib exhibited cytotoxic effects causing EC apoptosis.

This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitor monotherapy (CNI) versus combination therapy [CNI and tofacitinib (TOF) or cyclophosphamide (CTX)] as initial immunosuppressive regimens for MDA5+DM. In our study, combination therapy may improve survival prognosis in MDA5+ DM patients. Nevertheless, vigilant monitoring for opportunistic infections during treatment is essential.

In the ex vivo evaluations, pitavastatin (0.5004 μM), eltrombopag (0.2548 μM), flavoxate (0.1536 μM), and empagliflozin (0.2548 μM) affected the phosphorylation of downstream STAT1 and STAT3 signaling molecules, similarly to tofacitinib citrate (TOF) (1.2 nM ). These results encourage further in-depth preclinical experiments aimed at exploring the additional effects of the JAK2-STAT1/3 signaling pathway.
