Deuruxolitinib, sold under the brand name Leqselvi, is a medication used for the treatment of alopecia areata.[1] It is a Janus kinase inhibitor selective for JAK1 and JAK2.[2] Although the relative effectiveness of deuruxolitinib and another Janus kinase inhibitor—baricitinib—for alopecia areata may vary depending on the population studied, both drugs are more effective than alternative treatments.[3]
