So far, no drugs targeting this pathway have been approved for the treatment of dermatological diseases. We reviewed the use of drugs blocking the JAK/STAT pathway in the aforementioned diseases. An a priori protocol was published. We used Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual methodology to conduct the review and PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) to report results. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched in a three-step approach on April 2019 by two researchers. Ninety-six mainly multicenter observational studies were included (66, 10, and 20 studies on AA, vitiligo, and AD, respectively). Tofacitinib and ruxolitinib were mainly used for the three diseases, and also upadacitinib, abrocitinib, baricitinib, cerdulatinib, delgocitinib, gusacitinib for AD, and baricitinib, PF-06700841, and PF-06651600 for AA. All patients with AD improved, whereas patients with vitiligo and patients with AA showed varied responses, including unresponsive cases. The safety profiles were similar for all drugs and diseases, mainly comprising mild or no adverse events. Evidence on the efficacy and safety of drugs targeting the JAK/STAT pathway for the treatment of patients with AD, vitiligo, or AA is increasing but is still of low quality.
