What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a medication called CTP-543 to see if it can help adults with moderate to severe alopecia areata regrow their hair. The study will also check if the hair continues to grow when the dose of the medication is reduced. The goal is to find an effective treatment for significant hair loss.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop taking any medications that may affect hair regrowth or immune response within 1 month of starting the study. Additionally, you must not take systemic immunosuppressive medications within 3 months or biologics within 6 months of starting the study.
