Abstract

The invention provides for methods for treating a hair loss disorder in a subject by administering a Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription inhibitor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of treating a hair-loss disorder in a mammalian subject in need thereof, the method comprising topically administering to the subject an effective amount of a Janus Kinase (Jak)1, Jak2, or Jak3 inhibitor, wherein said inhibitor is tofacitinib.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hair-loss disorder comprises androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, hypotrichosis, or hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the alopecia areata is alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the hair loss-disorder is androgenetic alopecia.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the hair loss-disorder is alopecia areata.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said inhibitor is administered to the subject in a pharmaceutical composition selected from solution, ointment, salve, gel, and cream.

7.
