A Parallel Group Treatment, Phase 2a, Double-blind, Two-arm Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Farudodstat Tablets Compared With Its Placebo in Male or Female Alopecia Areata Participants Aged 18 Years and Older With 30% or Greater Scalp Hair Loss
The main purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy of farudodstat compared to placebo at Week 12 from the treatment start, in adult participants with Alopecia Areata (AA) with 30% or greater scalp hair loss.
• Adult (≥18 years of age and a weight of ≥40 kg at the time of signing the informed consent)
• Moderate, severe, or very severe Alopecia Areata (AA), as determined by meeting the following criteria:
‣ Clinical diagnosis of AA with no other etiology of hair loss (e.g., telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, etc.)
⁃ At least 30% scalp hair loss, as defined by a SALT score ≥30
⁃ Current episode of hair loss lasting at least 6 months and not exceeding 7 years at the time of Screening. Participants who have AA for longer than 7 years may be enrolled if episodes of regrowth, spontaneous or under treatment, have been observed on the affected areas over the past 7 years
⁃ No appreciable change (i.e., change exceeding 20 points on SALT score) in terminal hair regrowth within 6 months
