ATI-502 Topical Solution for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata (AA), Alopecia Universalis (AU) and Alopecia Totalis (AT)

Phase 2

Terminated

Conditions: Alopecia Totalis
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Universalis

Interventions: Drug: ATI 502 0.46% Topical Solution

Registration Number: NCT03759340

Lead Sponsor: Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc.

Brief Summary: This is an open label study of ATI-502 Topical Solution for the treatment of AA, AU, and AT with the following goals:

* To assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ATI-502 Topical Solution in subjects with AA, AU or AT following 24 weeks of treatment with ATI-501 Oral Suspension or Placebo Suspension.

* To assess the ability of ATI-502 Topical Solution to maintain or improve hair regrowth in subjects previously treated with ATI-501 Oral Suspension or Placebo Suspension.

Detailed Description: This Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and durability of efficacy of ATI-502 Topical Solution, 0.46% for the treatment of alopecia areata (AA), alopecia universalis (AU) and alopecia totalis (AT) in adult subjects who completed 24 weeks of treatment with ATI-501 Oral Suspension or Placebo Suspension.

Subjects who complete 24 weeks of active treatment with ATI-501 Oral Suspension or Placebo Suspension in study ATI-501-AUAT-201 will be assessed for eligibility to enter the study. At Visit 9 in study ATI-501-AUAT-201, subjects who did not experience any adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), or tolerability issues that met study discontinuation criteria in study ATI-501-AUAT-201 and who in the opinion of the investigator are capable of re-growing or maintaining scalp hair and meet the entry criteria are eligible to enroll in this open-label study.

Enrolled subjects will apply ATI-502 Topical Solution, 0.46% BID to the entire scalp and if applicable, the eyebrow(s) and return for safety and efficacy assessments as detailed in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 3). Assessment of response to treatment will be performed at Week 4, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, and post-treatment Week 28. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated at each study visit by assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, and vital signs, and at Week 24, and physical examination findings

Subjects are excluded from this study if any 1 or more of the following criteria is met:
1. Any study medication discontinuation criteria are met during participation in study ATI-501-AUAT-201.
2. Females who are nursing, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant for the duration of the study and up to 30 days after the last application of study medication.
3. The presence of a permanent or difficult to remove hairpiece or wig that will, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with study assessments if not removed at each visit.
4. Sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the study medications.

Study & Design

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ATI 502 0.46% Topical Solution	ATI 502 0.46% Topical Solution	Subjects will apply ATI-502 Topical Solution, 0.46% twice-daily for 24 weeks followed by a 4-week post-treatment follow up period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score	Baseline to Week 24	The Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score is a physician administered scale measuring the amount of scalp without any terminal hair assessed by the investigator. Possible scores range from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to 100 (complete scalp hair loss). A negative change in the SALT score over time represents hair regrowth by adding the percentage hair loss in the various areas (i.e. top, back, each side) of the scalp. For the primary endpoint, the primary efficacy variable was the mean relative percent change from the original baseline visit in study ATI-501-AUAT-201 and the SALT score at Week 24 on study ATI-502-AA-203. This represents the percentage of hair regrowth. It was calculated as the mean of the changes from baseline SALT score to the SALT score at Week 24, divided by baseline SALT score and expressed as a percentage.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of Subjects Achieving a SALT50 (Defined as a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in SALT) by Visit	Baseline to Week 24	Proportion of subjects achieving a SALT 50 (defined as a ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in SALT) by visit 6. SALT score is on a percent scale where 0% is no hair loss and 100 % is total hair loss.
Mean Relative Percent Change From Baseline SALT Score	Baseline to Week 24	Mean Relative Percent Change from Baseline (from the current study ATI-502-AA-203) in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT). SALT score is on a percent scale where 0% is no hair loss and 100 % is total hair loss. A lower SALT score is a better outcome. A higher relative percent change is better.
Durability of Response	Baseline to Week 24	Durability of response: Proportion of subjects achieving a SALT 50 or SALT 75 at Week 24 (in study ATI-501-AUAT-201) and maintaining that response at week 24 in ATI-502-AA-203 study.
Change From Baseline in the Physician Global Impression of Severity (PhGIS)	Baseline to Week 24	Change from Baseline in the PhGIS by visit. The PhGIS is a 5 point scale from Mild to Extremely Severe. Mild is a better outcome.
Proportion of Subjects Achieving a SALT 75 (Defined as a ≥ 75% Improvement From Baseline in SALT) by Visit	Baseline to Week 24	Proportion of subjects achieving SALT 75 (defined as a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in SALT) by visit 6 SALT score is on a percent scale where 0% is no hair loss and 100 % is total hair loss. A bigger percent change is a more positive score.
