Rapid resolution of non-segmental vitiligo in a patient treated with abrocitinib: A case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vitiligo is a common, autoimmune, depigmenting disorder of the skin. Janus Kinase inhibitors have emerged as promising topical and oral therapeutic options for vitiligo. There have been no reports of vitiligo being treated with oral Abrocitinib, a selective Janus Kinase 1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Here, we present a 61-year-old male with acrofacial vitiligo who had repigmentation plateau with twice daily tacrolimus 0.1% ointment, oral ginkgo biloba, and oral minipulse prednisone × 4 months; however, they had significant improvement after taking abrocitinib 100 mg per day for 2 months. He was able to transition topical tacrolimus twice weekly monotherapy for maintenance. This report shows that oral Janus Kinase inhibitors may be a useful option for the treatment of recalcitrant vitiligo. Results of ongoing randomized control trials are needed to determine the durability and safety of oral Janus Kinase inhibitors long-term.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
