In this video, Raj Chovatiya, MD, PhD, discussed research into the Janus kinase inhibitor ruxolitinib from the Maui Derm 2024 meeting, examining data into its use in treating atopic dermatitis.

Chovatiya, assistant professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discussed several studies examining itch improvement, pediatric use and long-term data for intermittent use.

“(The data suggests) it’s actually a pretty good long-term therapeutic option, and it really takes a while for people to relapse if they achieve pretty good responses,” Chovatiya said.
