Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relative Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24Baseline, Week 24

The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Relative change (percent change) to baseline is calculated as: 100 x (\[baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score\]/baseline SALT score).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 90%, 75%, and 50% Reduction in SALT Score From BaselineBaseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Percentage of participants achieving at least a 50%, 75%, 90% relative reduction in SALT score from baseline at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 are reported.

Absolute Change From Baseline in SALT Scores at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Absolute change equals the difference in SALT measurements (baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score).

Relative Change From Baseline in SALT Scores at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20

The SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss. SALT scores range in severity from 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete hair loss). Relative change (percent change) to baseline is calculated as: 100 x (\[baseline SALT score - follow-up SALT score\]/baseline SALT score).

Percentage of Participants With Change in Satisfaction of Hair Coverage From BaselineBaseline, Weeks 8, 12 and 24

Participant satisfaction question was used to assess overall satisfaction with hair coverage, with responses ranging from 1 to 5, as follows: 1 (very dissatisfied), 2 (dissatisfied), 3 (somewhat satisfied), 4 (mostly satisfied), 5 (very satisfied). Higher scores indicate better satisfaction with hair coverage. The percentage of participants with change from Baseline to Weeks 8, 12 and 24 satisfaction level was reported as categories: satisfied to satisfied; satisfied to dissatisfied; dissatisfied to satisfied and dissatisfied to dissatisfied. Data is reported only for participants with change from Baseline in satisfaction level.
