Activity Description

The hair loss that occurs in patients with alopecia areata (AA) imposes a significant psychological burden on the over 300,000 US individuals affected by the disease each year. Traditionally, AA management has been limited to the off-label use of various treatments, many of which can be associated with significant side effects and often provide only limited relief. As understanding of AA pathophysiology has evolved, we have witnessed the development of a number of novel targeted therapies. Foremost among these are multiple JAK inhibitors, one of which has just been approved by the FDA.

Join our esteemed faculty for a review of the recently approved and emerging JAK inhibitor therapies for AA. Complemented with case-based learning and faculty roundtable discussions, designed to help providers achieve better outcomes for their patients with AA.

Target Audience

This educational activity has been designed for community pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, and healthcare professionals in allergy, immunology, dermatology, and managed care who manage patients with AA.

Learning Objective(s)

Upon successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

• Outline the pathophysiology and clinical burden of AA
• Review clinical data on emerging agents for AA to determine their potential placement in the treatment landscape
• Identify the pharmacoeconomic factors associated with emerging AA therapies
