Tofacitinib in Refractory Scleritis: A Case Series.
Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor, has been recently investigated as a potential therapy for refractory scleritis. Despite treatment with systemic immunosuppressive agents, scleritis is refractory to conventional therapy in a significant number of patients. Hereby, we report the use of tofacitinib as a steroid-sparing immunomodulatory agent in three patients with refractory scleritis who were either recalcitrant or intolerant to conventional therapy.
