Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CTP-543 in Adults With Moderate to Severe Alopecia Areata

A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CTP-543 in Adult Patients With Moderate to Severe Alopecia Areata

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of CTP-543 on hair loss in adults with chronic, moderate to severe alopecia areata.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled multi-center study consisting of 3 cohorts to assess the safety and efficacy of CTP-543. Each Cohort will be initiated sequentially in ascending dose order. Participants will be randomized to either an active dose of CTP-543 or placebo for a 24-week treatment period.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Definitive diagnosis of 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.
• Clinical lab results within the normal range

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 or biologics.
• Vaccination with herpes zoster vaccine or any live virus within 6 weeks of screening or during the study
