Study Background
Help us learn more about a potential treatment for alopecia areata.
Alopecia areata (AA) is a common hair loss condition that may manifest as small patches of hair loss of the scalp, complete hair loss of the scalp, or complete hair loss of the entire body. Most individuals diagnosed with AA experience periods of hair loss and regrowth, which can negatively impact self esteem.
Through this research study, we will be investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of amlitelimab injections as a treatment for adults with severe AA.
