| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Percentage of Participants Achieving an Absolute Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score of ≤20 at Week 24 | Week 24 | SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss). |
| Secondary | Percentage of Responders on the Hair Satisfaction Patient Reported Outcome (SPRO) Scale at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | SPRO is a questionnaire answered by the participant and designed to measure how satisfied alopecia areata participants are with their hair at the time of the assessment. The responses range from 1 to 5: 1= very satisfied, 2= satisfied, 3= neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 4= dissatisfied, and 5= very dissatisfied. Responders were defined as participants with responses of "satisfied" or "very satisfied". |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants Achieving an Absolute SALT Score of ≤20 at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 | Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 | SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss). |
| Secondary | Relative Change in SALT Scores From Baseline at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 | SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss). Relative change (percent change) to baseline is calculated as: 100 x (\[post-baseline SALT score - baseline SALT score\]/baseline SALT score). |
| Secondary | Percentage of Responders Assessed Using the Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | The CGI-I is a questionnaire that asks the clinician to evaluate the improvement or worsening of the participant's alopecia areata as compared to the start of the study on a 7-point scale. Responses range from 1 (very much worse) to 7 (very much improved). Responders were defined as participants with responses of 6 (much improved) or 7 (very much improved). |
| Secondary | Percentage of Responders Assessed Using the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | The PGI-I is a self-administered questionnaire that asks the participant to evaluate the improvement or worsening of their alopecia areata as compared to the start of the study on a 7-point scale. Responses range from 1 (very much worse) to 7 (very much improved). Responders were defined as participants with responses of 6 (much improved) or 7 (very much improved). |
| Secondary | Change in the Clinician Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Scores From Baseline at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Baseline, Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | The CGI-S is a questionnaire that asks the clinician to evaluate the symptom severity of the participant's alopecia areata at the time of assessment. The symptom severity was rated on a scale ranging from 1 to 7, where 1=normal, no hair loss; 2=borderline hair loss; 3=mild hair loss; 4=moderate hair loss; 5=marked hair loss; 6=severe hair loss; 7=among the most extreme hair loss. Higher scores indicate more hair loss. A negative change from baseline indicates less hair loss. |
| Secondary | Change in the Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) Scores From Baseline at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | Baseline, Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 | The PGI-S is a self-administered questionnaire that asks the participant to evaluate the symptom severity of their alopecia areata at the time of assessment. Symptom severity was rated on a scale ranging from 1 to 7, where 1=normal, no hair loss; 2=borderline hair loss; 3=mild hair loss; 4=moderate hair loss; 5=marked hair loss; 6=severe hair loss; 7=among the most extreme hair loss. Higher scores indicate more hair loss. A negative change from baseline indicates less hair loss. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 75% and 90% Relative Reduction in SALT Score From Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 | Baseline, Weeks 12, and 24 | SALT is a quantitative assessment of scalp hair loss with scores ranging in severity from 0 (no scalp hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (complete scalp hair loss). Percentage of participants achieving at least a 75% and 90% relative reduction in SALT score from baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 are reported. |
| Secondary | Change in the Brigham Eyebrow Tool for Alopecia (BETA) Scores From Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 | Baseline, Weeks 12, and 24 | BETA is a clinician-rated scale that assesses the total eyebrow hair present. The BETA score is calculated based on hair density and surface area of each individual eyebrow of the participant, ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 = no eyebrow, 1 = minimal eyebrow, 2 = moderate eyebrow, 3 = normal eyebrow. The BETA score is the sum of the right and left eyebrow scores, ranging from 0 to 6. Higher scores indicate less hair loss of eyebrows. A positive change from baseline indicates less hair loss of eyebrows. |
