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.

Claims (25)

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 VX-509 and wherein the hair-loss disorder is selected from the group consisting of androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, hypotrichosis, and hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alopecia areata is alopecia totalis.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the subject is a human.

4. The method of claim 3 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 administering to the subject occurs by a route selected from the group consisting of subcutaneous injection, intra-muscular injection, intra-peritoneal injection, intravenous injection, an infusion, oral, nasal, topical, intradermal, inhalation, transdermal, transmucosal, rectal and any combinations thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein VX-509 is administered to the subject in a pharmaceutical composition selected from the group consisting of solution, suspension, capsule, tablet, pill, troche, nasal spray, suppository, ointment, salve, gel, and cream.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein VX-509 is contained in a topical pharmaceutical composition at a concentration selected from the group consisting of about 0.1%, about 0.2%, about 0.3%, about 0.4%, about 0.5%, about 0.6%, about 0.7%, about 0.8%, about 0.9%, about 1.0%, about 1.1%, about 1.2%, about 1.3%, about 1.4%, about 1.5%, about 1.6%, about 1.7%, about 1.8%, about 1.9%, about 2.0%, about 2.1%, about 2.2%, about 2.3%, about 2.4%, about 2.5%, about 2.6%, about 2.7%, about 2.8%, about 2.9%, or about 3.0%, about 3.5%, about 4%, about 4.5%, about 5%, about 5.5%, about 6%, about 6.5%, about 7%, about 7.5%, about 8%, about 8.5%, about 9%, about 9.5%, and about 10%.
