The Role of Gut and Skin Microbiota in Alopecia Areata (RGSM-AA-ICS)
10. juli 2026 opdateret af: Tea Rosovic, Polyclinic GrandMed
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) works to treat alopecia areata in adults. It will also learn about the safety of FMT. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can FMT cause hair regrowth?
- Can FMT modulate immune response? Researchers will compare FMT to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if FMT works to treat alopecia areata.
Participants will:
- Take FMT or a placebo for three consecutive days
- Follow-up evaluations will be performed at weeks 12, 24, and 48, with repeat clinical scoring, photodocumentation, microbiome analyses, laboratory testing, and quality-of-life assessment.

Changes in hair growth- Severity of Alopecia Tool
Tidsramme: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
|
The primary success will be a statistically significant difference in hair regrowth between the Fecal Microbiota transplantation (FMT) group and placebo group at weeks 24 and 48, assessed as a binary endpoint (regrowth yes/no) and supported by changes in SALT (Severity of Alopecia Tool) score as a standardized measurement used to quantify scalp hair loss in patients with alopecia areata.
The scale ranges from 0 (no hair loss) to 100 (complete scalp hair loss).
A clinically meaningful reduction in SALT score (≥50% improvement from baseline) will be considered a strong indicator of therapeutic efficacy.

Changes in hair growth- Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment
Tidsramme: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
|
The primary success will be a statistically significant difference in hair regrowth between the Fecal Microbiota transplantation (FMT) group and placebo group at weeks 24 and 48, assessed as a binary endpoint (regrowth yes/no) and supported by changes in Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) to measure five clinically meaningful gradations of alopecia areata scalp-hair loss that reflects patients' and clinicians' perspectives and expectations of treatment success in alopecia areata treatment studies.
The AA-IGA score is based on the patient's SALT score.
The scale is numbered from 0, which corresponds to 0% of hair loss (ie, SALT 0), indicating no hair loss, to 4, which corresponds to 95-100% of hair loss (ie, SALT 95-100), indicating very severe hair loss.

Changes in hair growth- The Alopecia Areata Scale
Tidsramme: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
|
The primary success will be a statistically significant difference in hair regrowth between the Fecal Microbiota transplantation (FMT) group and placebo group at weeks 24 and 48, assessed as a binary endpoint (regrowth yes/no) and supported by changes in The Alopecia Areata Scale (AASc) in wich primary criterion is Severity of scalp hair loss: mild 20% or less, moderate 21-49%, severe 50-100% scalp hair loss.
Secondary criteria: is any is present, increase severity rating by one level: noticeable involvement of eyebrows or eyelashes; inadequate response after at least 6 months of treatment; negative impact on psychosocial functioning resulting from AA; diffuse (multifocal) positive hait pull test consistent with pidly progressive alopecia areata.

Fecal microbiota transplantation modulation of the gut and skin microbiota
Tidsramme: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 48 weeks
|
The primary objective of this proposal is to test the hypothesis that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) induces beneficial modulation of the gut and skin microbiota, leading to immunoregulatory effects in patients with alopecia areata (AA).
Characterize baseline skin, and colonic mucosal microbiota composition in patients with AA using 16S rRNA sequencing of skin and colon musosa biopsy specimens and assess changes following FMT.
