Summary

This trial is testing a new medication for people with a certain type of hair loss. The trial will last for 48 weeks and will enroll 68 people.

Who is the study for?
Adults with moderate to severe Alopecia Areata (AA) affecting more than half of the scalp, who have seen hair regrowth in the past 7 years and have a history or family history of allergies. Participants must be healthy overall, not pregnant or breastfeeding, use contraception if applicable, and meet specific blood test criteria. Excluded are those with certain diseases like hepatitis or HIV, recent immunosuppressive treatments, no AA hair regrowth for over 7 years, and other health risks.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Dupilumab against a placebo in individuals with AA. It's randomized and double-blind meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets what treatment. For 48 weeks some will get weekly Dupilumab injections while others get placebos; afterwards all receive Dupilumab for another 48 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, common side effects of Dupilumab may include injection site reactions (redness or swelling), eye irritation or inflammation (pink eye), cold sores in your mouth or on your lips.
