Methods for treating hair loss disorders
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.
1. A method of treating a hair-loss disorder in a mammalian subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of Janus Kinase (Jak)1, Jak2, or Jak3, wherein said inhibitor is LY3009104.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hair-loss disorder comprises androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, 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 subject is a human.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the hair loss-disorder is androgenetic alopecia.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the hair loss-disorder is alopecia areata.
7. A method for inducing hair growth in a subject, the method comprising:
(a) administering to the subject an effective amount of a Jak1, Jak2, or Jak3 inhibitor, wherein said inhibitor is LY3009104,
thereby inducing hair growth in the subject.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the subject suffers from a hair-loss disorder, wherein the hair-loss disorder is selected from—androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, hypotrichosis, and hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the alopecia areata is alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis.
10. The method of claim 8 wherein the hair loss-disorder is androgenetic alopecia.
11. The method of claim 8 wherein the hair loss-disorder is alopecia areata.
