  • Have severe or very severe AA, as determined by all of the following:

    • Current AA episode of more than 6 months' duration and hair loss encompassing ≥50% of the scalp, as measured by SALT Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) of 3 or 4) at screening and baseline.
    • No spontaneous improvement over the past 6 months.
