Brief Summary

Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Proof-of-Concept (POC) Trial in subjects with severe Alopecia Areata. All participants in Part A have completed participation.

Part B is a multicenter, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bempikibart (ADX-914) in participants with severe Alopecia Areata.

Detailed Description

Part A is a Phase IIa, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, multi-center Proof-of-Concept (POC) study in adult subjects with severe Alopecia Areata (AA). Bempikibart (ADX-914) or matching placebo is administered subcutaneously in the clinic setting every 2 weeks for 24 weeks, with follow-up for 12 weeks. Subjects will be randomized 3:1 to drug vs placebo. All participants in Part A have completed participation.

Part B is a multicenter, open-label study comprised of a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a treatment period of 36 weeks, and a follow-up period of 16 weeks, for a total study duration of up to 56 weeks.

Open Label Extension Cohort is a multicenter, open-label extension to assess the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bempikibart (ADX-914) in participants with severe AA who experienced hair regrowth as participants in Part A of the study. Participants enrolled in the Open Label Extension Cohort will receive bempikibart (ADX-914) for a duration of 6 months followed by a 16-week follow-up period.
