A Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 3-arm, multinational, multicenter, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amlitelimab monotherapy by subcutaneous injection in adult participants with severe alopecia areata

This research study is investigating a new medication called amlitelimab for adults who have severe alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss. The main goal of this study is to find out if amlitelimab helps hair grow back and if it is safe to use. Participants will receive either the new medicine or a 'dummy' treatment (placebo) by injection under the skin. Neither the participants nor their doctors will know who is getting which treatment. Researchers will carefully track changes in hair growth, especially on the scalp, and monitor for any side effects over 36 weeks. Your involvement could help us learn more about treating this condition.

Sobre o que é este estudo?

This study is a research project designed to test a new medicine named amlitelimab for severe alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a condition where your body's immune system, which normally fights off germs, mistakenly attacks your hair follicles. This can cause hair to fall out in patches, or in severe cases, all over your scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The medicine, amlitelimab, is given as an injection under the skin.

The study is trying to find out two main things: first, if amlitelimab can help hair grow back for people with severe alopecia areata, and second, if it is a safe medicine to use. To get clear results, some participants will receive the actual medicine, while others will receive a 'placebo.' A placebo looks exactly like the medicine but doesn't contain any active ingredients. This helps researchers understand the true effects of the drug compared to no treatment at all.

This is a 'Phase 2' study, which means it’s an early stage of research where we are still learning about how effective the medicine is and what the right dose might be. The information gathered from this study will be crucial in deciding if this medicine should be tested in larger studies in the future, ultimately to explore if it could become a new treatment option for people living with severe alopecia areata.

Pontos principais

  • This study is testing a new injection medicine, amlitelimab, for severe hair loss from alopecia areata.
  • It aims to see if the medicine helps hair grow back and if it's safe for adults.
  • Some participants will get the actual medicine, others a 'dummy' treatment (placebo).
  • The study lasts about 36 weeks and involves regular clinic visits for checks.
  • Your involvement could help future treatments for alopecia areata.
  • A participação é voluntária, e você pode se retirar a qualquer momento.

Quem pode ser elegível?

To be considered for this study, you must be an adult, aged 18 or older. Both men and women are welcome to take part in this research.

The study is specifically looking for people with severe alopecia areata. This means your hair loss must be significant, affecting a large portion of your scalp. The medical team will use a special scoring system to check if your hair loss meets the study's requirements.

There might be other health conditions or medicines that would prevent you from joining, to ensure your safety. The study team will review your full medical history to see if this study is right for you.

Responda a todas as perguntas para ver o seu resultado.

O que envolve a participação?

If you decide to join this study, you will be in the study for about 36 weeks, which is roughly 8 to 9 months, plus follow-up visits. You would receive either the study medicine (amlitelimab) or a placebo, given as injections under the skin. You, and your study doctor, would not know which one you are receiving.

Over the course of the study, you would attend regular appointments at the study clinic. These visits would involve several assessments. Doctors and nurses would check your hair growth, especially on your scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, using special measurements. They would also ask you questions about how you feel and your quality of life. Additionally, you would have blood tests and other health checks to monitor your safety and how your body is reacting to the treatment. The research team will explain all the details of these visits before you agree to participate.

Riscos e benefícios potenciais

Taking part in a clinical study can have potential benefits, such as gaining access to a new medicine before it's widely available, and closely monitored medical care. However, there are also potential risks, including side effects from the study medicine or the procedures involved. The study treatments may or may not help your condition, as this is still being investigated. You are always free to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your medical care.
