Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical presentation compatible with alopecia areata with a current episode lasting at least 6 months and not exceeding 10 years at the time of Screening. Total disease duration greater than 10 years is permitted.
  • At least 50% scalp hair loss, as defined by a Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score ≥50, at Screening and Baseline.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active scalp inflammation, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis requiring topical treatment to the scalp, significant trauma to the scalp, or untreated actinic keratosis on the scalp.
  • Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications within 3 months of screening or during the study, or biologics within 6 months of screening or during the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Relative change (percent change) to baseline is calculated as: 100 x ([baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score]/baseline SALT score).
Baseline, Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 90%, 75%, and 50% Reduction in SALT Score From Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Percentage of participants achieving at least a 50%, 75%, 90% relative reduction in SALT score from baseline at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 are reported.
Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Absolute Change From Baseline in SALT Scores at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Absolute change equals the difference in SALT measurements (baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score).
Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
Relative Change From Baseline in SALT Scores at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20
The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Relative change (percent change) to baseline is calculated as: 100 x ([baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score]/baseline SALT score).
Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20
Percentage of Participants With Change in Satisfaction of Hair Coverage From Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 12 and 24
Participant satisfaction question was used to assess overall satisfaction with hair coverage, with responses ranging from 1 to 5, as follows: 1 (very dissatisfied), 2 (dissatisfied), 3 (somewhat satisfied), 4 (mostly satisfied), 5 (very satisfied). Higher scores indicate better satisfaction with hair coverage. The percentage of participants with change from Baseline to Weeks 8, 12 and 24 satisfaction level was reported as categories: satisfied to satisfied; satisfied to dissatisfied; dissatisfied to satisfied and dissatisfied to dissatisfied. Data is reported only for participants with change from Baseline in satisfaction level.
Baseline, Weeks 8, 12 and 24

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Experiencing at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
Time Frame: From first dose up to 28 weeks
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the patient's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre-existing condition) should be considered an adverse event.
From first dose up to 28 weeks

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
