Is baricitinib effective for patients with substantial eyebrow and eyelash loss?

Alopecia

You. So when we talk about alopecia, obviously people are typically talking about scalp hair loss, but many patients can have loss of hair involving the eyebrows, eyelashes, either or both. So it's important to look at the response of those because many patients, even though they're not happy about it, some of them are very good at utilizing wigs or ways to cover alopecierion on the scalp. But you cannot get a wig for your eyelashes, you cannot get a wig for your eyebrows. So when we look at utilizing oral baricitinib, in the pivotal trials, they did evaluate eyelash and eyebrow loss, even though that was not a part of the primary endpoints in the study. And patients did have substantial improvement in many cases with regrowth of both compared to where they were at baseline. So the majority of patients, if they respond to baricitinib, you're going to see improvement on the scalp, but also eyebrows and eyelashes to a significant degree.
