Janus kinase inhibitor for anti-transcription intermediary factor 1-γ positive cancer-associated dermatomyositis

In this retrospective case series, off-label use of Janus kinase inhibitor rapidly and significantly ameliorated the active cutaneous disease in all five glucocorticoid-resistant patients with cancer-associated dermatomyositis who had anti-transcription intermediary factor 1-γ antibodies, showing a promising steroid-sparing effect and a generally well-tolerated safety profile beyond 1-year follow-up.
