The investigational drug abrocitinib is safe and effective for treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adolescents and adults, an industry trial shows.

Patients 12 years and older on daily oral doses for 12 weeks had greater improvements in itchiness and more extensive skin clearance compared with those on placebo, the authors report in JAMA Dermatology.
