- Abstract: Traditional therapies for alopecia areata, especially moderate to severe alopecia areata and special types of alopecia areata, remain unsatisfactory. Compared with traditional therapies, small-molecule targeted drugs and biological agents have advantages of a more rapid onset of action and more marked efficacy, however, some patients may experience adverse reactions such as infections during treatment or relapses after drug withdrawal. Thus, their efficacy and safety still need to be further evaluated. This review summarizes research progress in small-molecule targeted drugs and biological agents in the treatment of alopecia areata.
