NCT ID NCT06240351

Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether baricitinib, a medication used for rheumatoid arthritis, is safe and effective for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). FFA is a condition that causes permanent, scarring hair loss at the front of the scalp and eyebrows. The study will measure if the drug reduces inflammation, itching, pain, and slows the progression of hair loss in 15 adult women with active FFA.
