Results from the featured oral presentation found that the safety profile of LEQSELVI remained generally consistent with previous clinical experience through up to two years of open-label treatment in adults with severe AA. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate in severity, treatment discontinuations due to adverse events were uncommon, and no deaths, thrombosis or major adverse cardiovascular events were reported among patients receiving the FDA-approved dose of 8 mg twice-daily. Long-term efficacy analyses presented in a poster also showed durable scalp hair regrowth through Week 108 in patients receiving LEQSELVI in the European OLE. Of OLE baseline treatment responders (SALT score ≤20) maintaining response at Week 52 and continuing in the study (nonresponders completed the study at Week 52), 93.9% maintained response at Week 108. Many patients (76.6%) who were baseline nonresponders (SALT score >20) achieved response by Week 52; at Week 52, only responders continued in the study, and of these, 96.8% maintained that response at Week 108. A Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score of 100 represents total scalp hair loss, whereas a score of 0 represents no scalp hair loss. “Severe alopecia areata is a chronic autoimmune disease, making long-term treatment considerations particularly important for both patients and their clinicians,” said Arash Mostaghimi, MD, MPA, MPH, FAAD, Vice Chair of Clinical Trials and Innovation and Associate Professor of Dermatology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. “Collectively, these data show durable efficacy and maintenance of response for deuruxolitinib over time and reinforce the growing body of evidence supporting its use as a long-term treatment option for eligible adults.” Data presented at the EADV Congress 2026 provide additional insights into the long-term treatment experience with LEQSELVI in a chronic autoimmune disease that often requires ongoing management. Additional presentations of pooled post hoc analyses of THRIVE-AA1 and THRIVE-AA2 showed consistent efficacy across clinically relevant patient subgroups, including patients with baseline eyebrow, eyelash or nail involvement, and those with both shorter- and longer-duration disease episodes. “Our data at EADV 2026 expands our understanding of LEQSELVI beyond initial treatment response and provides important evidence for dermatologists and advance practice providers into long-term tolerability, durability of response, and maintenance of clinical benefit in adults with severe alopecia areata,” said Ahmad Naim, MD, Senior Vice President, North America Chief Medical Officer, Sun Pharma. “We remain committed to advancing research that addresses the significant unmet needs of people living with this autoimmune disease impacting their daily lives.” Summary of Safety for the Patient LEQSELVI can lower the ability to fight infections.

About LEQSELVI® LEQSELVI (deuruxolitinib) 8 mg tablets is an oral selective inhibitor of Janus kinases JAK1 and JAK2 FDA-approved for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and body. Alopecia areata may affect up to 2.5% of the United States and global population during their lifetime. The scalp is the most commonly affected area, but any hair-bearing site can be affected alone or together with the scalp. Onset of the disease can occur throughout life and affects both women and men. Alopecia areata can be associated with serious psychological consequences, including anxiety and depression. There are currently limited approved treatment options available for alopecia areata. Please click here for full Prescribing Information Including BOXED WARNING and Medication Guide.
