- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of deuruxolitinib in adolescents aged 12 to less than 18 years who have 50% or greater scalp hair loss.
- Detailed Description
The efficacy and safety of deuruxolitinib in adolescent subjects with severe alopecia areata will be evaluated in this study, beginning with a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Treatment Period of 24 weeks. Subjects 12 to \<18 years of age having at least 50% hair loss as measured by SALT and meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized to deuruxolitinib or placebo treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and tolerability of deuruxolitinib will be assessed by evaluating adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and clinical laboratory results, as well as physical examinations Week 24 Summary of participants who experience Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs will be provided. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. Adverse events will be considered treatment-emergent if the onset is after the first dose of study drug. Summaries will be provided of participants who experience potentially clinically significant post-baseline changes in: hematology, chemistry and lipid results, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, temperature), electrocardiogram parameters (heart rate, PR, QT, QTcF, QRS, and RR) and physical examination findings.
Percentage of subjects achieving an absolute Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score ≤20 Week 24 SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean percent change (ie, relative change) in SALT scores from baseline Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss).
Percentage of responders (defined as "much improved" or "very much improved") using the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 The CGI-I is a questionnaire that asks the clinician to evaluate the improvement or worsening of the participant's alopecia areata as compared to the start of the study on a 7-point scale. Responses range from 1 (very much worse) to 7 (very much improved). Responders will defined as participants with responses of 6 (much improved) or 7 (very much improved).
Percentage of responders (defined as "much improved" or "very much improved") using the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 The PGI-I is a self-administered questionnaire that asks the participant to evaluate the improvement or worsening of their alopecia areata as compared to the start of the study on a 7-point scale. Responses range from 1 (very much worse) to 7 (very much improved). Responders will be defined as participants with responses of 6 (much improved) or 7 (very much improved).
Mean change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 The CGI-S is a questionnaire that asks the clinician to evaluate the symptom severity of the participant's alopecia areata at the time of assessment. The symptom severity was rated on a scale ranging from 1 to 7, where 1=normal, no hair loss; 2=borderline hair loss; 3=mild hair loss; 4=moderate hair loss; 5=marked hair loss; 6=severe hair loss; 7=among the most extreme hair loss. Higher scores indicate more hair loss. A negative change from baseline indicates less hair loss.
