Amenorrhea in an Adolescent Female as a Rare Adverse Event of Upadacitinib Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease. Upadacitinib, a selective JAK-1 inhibitor, has been approved as a systemic medication for moderate-to-severe AD in patients aged ≥12 years. Although previous studies have examined the safety profile of upadacitinib, this is the first report to describe a potential association between amenorrhea and upadacitinib or other JAK inhibitors. Herein, we report a rare adverse event of amenorrhea in an adolescent female patient who was treated with upadacitinib for AD. This case report expands the range of adverse events potentially associated with upadacitinib therapy.
