Hair loss drug shows promise in Long-Term trial

NCT ID NCT05041803

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested the long-term safety and effectiveness of a drug called CTP-543 in 407 adults with moderate to severe alopecia areata, a condition that causes patchy or complete hair loss. Participants had already completed 24 weeks of treatment in a previous trial. The goal was to see if the drug remains safe and helps maintain hair regrowth over time. Results will help determine if CTP-543 can be a reliable long-term treatment option.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CTP-543 (a drug taken twice daily)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option for people with severe alopecia areata, helping them regrow and maintain hair.

What could go wrong

This is an extension study, meaning participants already responded well in an earlier trial. It does not prove the drug works for everyone, and long-term side effects are still being monitored.
