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

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has a physician confirmed diagnosis of moderate to severe Alopecia Areata (AA) (greater than or equal to [>=] 50 percent [%] scalp involvement) as measured using the severity of Alopecia tool (SALT) score; or participant has >=95% loss of scalp hair for enrollment as alopecia totalis (AT) or alopecia universalis (AU) subtypes at the time of screening and baseline
  • Current episode of hair loss is greater than (>) 6 months (without evidence of spontaneous terminal hair regrowth within 6 months at the time of screening and baseline), but less than or equal to (<=8) years
  • Medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed at either screening or Week 0. Any abnormalities, must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator
  • Medically stable on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel or hematology are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant or to be appropriate and reasonable for the population under study. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of liver or renal insufficiency (estimated creatinine clearance below 60 milliliters per minute (mL/min)); significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine (except stable thyroid diseases), neurologic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric disorders, or metabolic disturbances
  • Currently has a malignancy or has a history of malignancy (with the exceptions of participants having adequately treated and cured basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or cervical carcinoma in situ occurring more than 5 years prior to randomization)
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-64304500 or its excipients
  • Participants with current episode of hair loss for >8 years
  • Has previous treatment with an oral janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT)90 Response
Time Frame: Week 24
The SALT score is a global severity score that captures percentage of hair loss by dividing the scalp into 4 quadrants (left side, right side, top and back quadrant) with assigned percent of scalp surface area (SSA) in each quadrant. After indicating the percent of loss per quadrant the value is multiplied by the percent (%) of hair for each section (18% sides, 40% top, and 24% back) and the values are summed to generate the total percentage of scalp hair loss or SALT score. The range in score is from 0-100 reflecting the percent hair loss on the scalp (0=no hair loss and 100= total hair loss). SALT90 is defined as 90% or more regrowth compared with 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
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of participants with TEAEs will be reported. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of participants with treatment-emergent SAEs will be reported.

Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Study Intervention
Time Frame: Up to Weeks 24 and 38

Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs including pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure will be reported.
Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Tests
Time Frame: Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory tests including hematology and chemistry will be reported.
Up to Weeks 24 and 38
Percentage of Participants Achieving SALT50 Response
Time Frame: Week 24
Percentage of participants achieving SALT50 response will be reported. The SALT score is a global severity score that captures percentage of hair loss by dividing the scalp into 4 quadrants (left side, right side, top and back quadrant) with assigned percent of SSA in each quadrant. After indicating the percent of loss per quadrant the value is multiplied by the percent of hair for each section (18% sides, 40% top, and 24% back) and the values are summed to generate the total percentage of scalp hair loss or SALT score. The range in score is from 0-100 reflecting the percent hair loss on the scalp (0=no hair loss and 100= total hair loss). SALT50 is defined as 50% or more regrowth from baseline.

The SALT score is a global severity score that captures percentage of hair loss by dividing the scalp into 4 quadrants (left side, right side, top and back quadrant) with assigned percent of SSA in each quadrant. After indicating the percent of loss per quadrant the value is multiplied by the percent of hair for each section (18% sides, 40% top, and 24% back) and the values are summed to generate the total percentage of scalp hair loss or SALT score. The range in score is from 0-100 reflecting the percent hair loss on the scalp (0=no hair loss and 100= total hair loss). SALT75 is defined as 75% or more regrowth from baseline.
