Any luck with JAK inhibitors anyone?

Hi.

I am in the UK and my dermatologist has told me that JAK inhibitors have been very effective in the US.  He is going to put me forward for a trial in January.  I would like to know if any of you have tried it and what the outcome was. The trial is in topical form, not oral.

There was a segment on JAK inhibitors on Good Morning america and they said that about 30% of the 66 people on this small trial regrew their hair. Pfizer is the company that helps with pills being free if you qualify for the program. You need to have a doctor involved for monitoring and ordering the pills. You can friend me if you want specific details on the medication. All my best Lisa

Hi, where is the trial being conducted in the UK? I am in the UK and on oral Xeljanz. Have a meeting with a health minister and currently gathering as much information as possible.
Thanks

Hi I'm in Australia I tried to get the cream here but it was going to cost 15.000 for three months treatment so obviously I didn't do it. Very interested in your trial tho all the best.
