About this trial

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of FB102 in patients with severe to very severe alopecia areata (AA).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Males aged 18-60 years and females aged 18-75 years at Screening.

Clinical diagnosis of severe to very severe AA with ≥50% scalp hair loss (including AT or AU) confirmed by SALT score and central photo review; no other cause of hair loss.

AT = complete scalp hair loss; AU = complete scalp, facial, and body hair loss. Note: There are additional inclusion criteria. The study center will determine if participant meets all of the criteria

Disqualifiers

Other types of alopecia (e.g., diffuse AA, traction, scarring alopecia, telogen effluvium, trichotillomania, chemotherapy-induced hair loss, androgenetic alopecia).

Other scalp diseases impacting AA assessment (e.g., psoriasis, dermatitis, tinea capitis).

Active systemic diseases causing hair loss (e.g., lupus, thyroiditis, systemic sclerosis, lichen planus, syphilis).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

Time frame
Upto 36 Weeks post first dose administration
2

Change from Baseline of Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score at Week 16.

The Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score ranges from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to 100 (complete scalp hair loss), with higher scores indicating greater severity. Change from baseline in SALT score at Week 16 will assess treatment effect. The AA-IGA categorizes SALT scores as follows: 0 = None (0%), 1 = Limited (1-20%), 2 = Moderate (21-49%), 3 = Severe (50-94%), 4 = Very Severe (95-100%).

Time frame
From Screening through Week 16.
