Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a cream called delgocitinib in 30 adults with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss at the front of the scalp. Everyone in the study will use the cream for 24 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in hairline and hair counts to see if the treatment helps.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
delgocitinib cream
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a topical treatment to slow or reverse hair loss in frontal fibrosing alopecia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive. The drug may not improve hair growth or could cause skin irritation.

Note: Standard doses of systemic antihistamines are allowed. * Subject has used any topical medicated treatment that could affect FFA within 2 weeks prior to Day 1, including, but not limited to, topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitors, topical JAK inhibitors. * Subject has received any ultraviolet (UV)-B phototherapy (including tanning beds), excimer laser, or any other phototherapy within 4 weeks prior to Day 1. * Subject has had psoralen-UV-A (PUVA) treatment within 4 weeks prior to Day 1. * Subject has a known or suspected allergy to delgocitinib or any component of the IMP. * Subject has a history of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to hypoallergenic ink. * Subject has a known history of clinically significant drug or alcohol abuse in the last year prior to Day 1. * Subject has prior use of delgocitinib cream as treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia. * Subject has prior failure of adequate response of frontal fibrosing alopecia to a topical JAK inhibitor or oral JAK inhibitor.
