Hair loss drug shows promise in Long-Term trial for alopecia areata
NCT ID NCT03898479
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a drug called CTP-543 for adults with moderate to severe alopecia areata, a condition that causes patchy hair loss. About 1,000 people who already completed 24 weeks of treatment in a previous CTP-543 trial will continue taking the drug to see if it helps regrow hair and remains safe over time. The main goal is to monitor side effects and measure hair regrowth using a standard scalp scoring tool.
