Xeljanz (Tofacitinib Citrate): My experience on the trial
I have received a lot of interest from others on here in my involvement with the Xeljanz trials at Yale.
I thought it would be nice for everyone if I documented my progress on here.
Xeljanz is a Jak3 inhibitor and is believed to work with alopecia by turning off the distress signal relayed by the hair follicle to the attacking immune system which is the cause of the hairs falling out. Xeljanz comes in a strength of 5mg per pill and a full box contains 60 tablets. The recommended dosage for arthritis is 1 tablet in the morning and another in the evening each day.
The trial is set in a series of stages and there are requirements before participating. These include monthly visits and blood tests every 2 weeks. Dr Brett King is absolutely fantastic and is an inspiration to me. His positivity and enthusiasm gives me the much needed hope I have craved for over a decade. I have been put on a low dose to start with which is 1 tablet every other day. My dosage has now been increased to 1 tablet every day and next month it could be increased to 2 tablets per day depending on the results.
I have completed my first month and have already noticed my alopecia has stabilised . I have not lost any existing hairs. In addition to this I have seen little hairs growing in my chest area as well as eyebrows. Fingers crossed! To date, I have experienced no side effects.

Also in this study they give to people 1 time a day cuase the drougs is not like xelijanz that work 12 hours it work 24 hours so better you take it a time a day no 2 times
it's in italian but sure a lot of other trials made in Usa or other countries

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience and creating this forum. I have AU, RA and Lupus...oh the joy! My Doctor prescribed Xeljanz for my RA. Bonus, I have been on Xeljanz since December 18th. By March 26th I could feel hair growing in and on March 28th, I saw hundreds of hairs on my head. I have had AU for 33 years since age 12. The only thing that has worked previously was prednisone which destroyed my body. I can see other areas coming in and feel eyelashes. I will keep you posted on progress.

That really gives me hope for my son who went full AU in a month at 11 1/2 years old. He is now turning 14. He had patchy eyebrows and some missing hair spots for the year or two prior to the AU condition. Thanks for sharing and continued success. God Bless.
