How does it work?

We’re researching better treatments for children with skin conditions

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss, often presenting as round, smooth bald patches on the scalp. For many children, this condition can affect self-confidence and emotional well-being.

Safety is the study’s top priority. The investigational medication has been studied in adults and is now being evaluated in adolescents. Your teen will be closely monitored with regular bloodwork, vital signs, and clinical assessments. An independent safety committee also reviews data continuously throughout the study.

Families are free to withdraw from the study at any time without consequence. Participation is entirely voluntary.

There is no cost to participate. Study medication, clinic visits, and all study-related lab work are provided at no charge. Participants may also receive compensation for time and travel — please speak with our team for details.

After completing the open-label extension, participants finish a 4-week follow-up visit. Our team will discuss ongoing care options at that time. Data collected will help advance treatment options for adolescents with alopecia areata.

Why participate in a research study?

Clinical research plays a crucial role in providing children with access to new treatments and advancing medical knowledge for future generations. Our mission is to create new opportunities for children and families by advancing research and ensuring that they have access to innovative therapies that have the potential to transform lives.
