Introduction: Two phase 3 trials (TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2) demonstrated that a topical formulation of the Janus kinase (JAK) 1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib significantly improved repigmentation versus vehicle cream in adolescent and adult patients with vitiligo. This post hoc analysis of pooled TRuE-V1/TRuE-V2 data evaluated efficacy and safety by baseline demographics and clinical characteristics.

Methods: Patients aged ≥ 12 years with nonsegmental vitiligo were randomized to vehicle cream or 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study found that 64% of the 25 patients had either a partial or complete increase in hemoglobin levels, with some experiencing improvements as early as week 1.
  • Although most patients reported some side effects (like diarrhea and fever), parsaclisib was generally well tolerated and showed sustained benefits throughout the study.

Background: Ruxolitinib cream is a topical formulation of ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) 1/JAK2 inhibitor.

Objectives: To report timing and magnitude of effect of ruxolitinib cream on itch in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), a highly pruritic inflammatory skin disease.

Methods: Two phase 3 trials (TRuE-AD1 [NCT03745638]/TRuE-AD2 [NCT03745651]) enrolled patients aged ≥12 years with AD for ≥2 years, Investigator's Global Assessment score of 2 or 3, and 3%-20% affected body surface area.

This study evaluates the effect of death as a competing event to the development of dementia in a longitudinal study of the cognitive status of elderly subjects. A multi-state Markov model with three transient states: intact cognition, mild cognitive impairment (M.C.

Continuous-time multi-state stochastic processes are useful for modeling the flow of subjects from intact cognition to dementia with mild cognitive impairment and global impairment as intervening transient cognitive states and death as a competing risk. Each subject's cognition is assessed periodically resulting in interval censoring for the cognitive states while death without dementia is not interval censored. Since back transitions among the transient states are possible, Markov chains are often applied to this type of panel data.
