Brief summary

This clinical trial attempts to investigate the efficacy and safety of LEO 124249 ointment in the treatment of alopecia areata and the molecular disease mechanism and biomarkers.

Detailed description

The objectives of this clinical trial are to compare the efficacy of twice-daily topical LEO 124249 30 mg/g ointment with LEO 124249 ointment vehicle for 12 weeks in the treatment of hair loss in subjects with alopecia areata, to evaluate the safety of this treatment, to evaluate hair regrowth, to determine subject quality of life, and to explore disease mechanism and its biomarkers.

Inclusion criteria

* Subjects must have signed and dated informed consent after receiving verbal and written information about the clinical trial. * Subjects with unequivocal clinical diagnosis of moderate to severe scalp alopecia areata (patch type, totalis, universalis), as determined by the (sub) investigator, affecting a minimum of 30% scalp area at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Day 1, baseline). * Minimum 6 month duration of hair loss at Visit 1 (Screening). No upper limit time limit. * Subject must accept to not cut hair in the treated scalp areas during the trial.

Exclusion criteria

* Females who are pregnant or are breast feeding. * Current signs of spontaneous hair regrowth. * Diffuse type alopecia areata. * Co-existing moderate to severe androgenic alopecia (Norwood-Hamilton stage IV-VI and Ludwig stage II and III) * Subjects with changed or expected changes in medication for thyroid disease within 6 month before Visit 1 (screening) or during the trial. * Systemic treatment with immunosuppressive drugs (e.g. methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine), chloroquin derivatives, corticosteroids, or any other systemic therapy that in the opinion of the investigator could affect hair regrowth, within 6 weeks prior to randomization (inhaled or intra-nasal steroids corresponding to up to 1 mg prednisone for asthma or rhinitis may be used).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Severity of Alopecia Areata Tool (SALT) ScoreFrom baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 (Day 84)The SALT score indicates the sum area of scalp with hair loss and ranges from 0 - 100 (min-max), with higher scores indicating more hair loss. A negative change in SALT score indicates lesser (improvement) hair loss while positive high scores indicate more (worsening) hair loss.

Subcategory and Total Score of the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life Questionnaire (AA-QLI)At baseline (Day 1) and at Week 12 (Day 84)The scale includes 21 questions measuring the degree to which the patient was affected by the AA in the last month, scored from 1 (not affected at all) to 4 (highly affected). The AA-QLI transformed scores for each of the subcategories 'subjective symptoms', 'relationship' and 'objective signs' ranging from (min-max) 9-36, 9-36, and 3-12. Total score ranges from 0-84. Low score indicating that the participant was least affected by AA.
Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication ScoreAt Week 12 (Day 84)The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM II) is a validated, general measure of treatment satisfaction for medication - accounting for effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction - that is comparable across medication types and patient conditions. The individual derived score for each of the 4 dimensions (effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction) of the TSQM II questionnaire ranged from 0-100, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction to treatment.
Hair TypeAt Week 4 (Day 28), Week 8 (Day 56) and Week 12 (Day 84)Hair type being either vellus hair or terminal hair. Hair type is not applicable for participants with alopecia areata totalis and universalis.

Outcome results

Primary

Change in Severity of Alopecia Areata Tool (SALT) Score

The SALT score indicates the sum area of scalp with hair loss and ranges from 0 - 100 (min-max), with higher scores indicating more hair loss. A negative change in SALT score indicates lesser (improvement) hair loss while positive high scores indicate more (worsening) hair loss.

Time frame: From baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 (Day 84)

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) was defined as all randomized participants who received at least one application of LEO 124249 (20) ointment or LEO 124249 vehicle (11) and had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment. Only the participants completing Week 12 have been included in the calculation of the change from baseline in the SALT score.

Subcategory and Total Score of the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life Questionnaire (AA-QLI)

The scale includes 21 questions measuring the degree to which the patient was affected by the AA in the last month, scored from 1 (not affected at all) to 4 (highly affected). The AA-QLI transformed scores for each of the subcategories 'subjective symptoms', 'relationship' and 'objective signs' ranging from (min-max) 9-36, 9-36, and 3-12. Total score ranges from 0-84. Low score indicating that the participant was least affected by AA.

Time frame: At baseline (Day 1) and at Week 12 (Day 84)

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) was defined as all randomized participants who received at least one application of LEO 124249 (20) ointment or LEO 124249 vehicle (11) and had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

Summary of Change in SALT Score

The SALT (Severity of Alopecia Areata Tool) score indicates the sum area of scalp with hair loss and ranges from 0 - 100 (min-max), with higher scores indicating more hair loss. A negative change in SALT score indicates lesser (improvement) hair loss while positive high scores indicate more (worsening) hair loss.

Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication Score

The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM II) is a validated, general measure of treatment satisfaction for medication - accounting for effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction - that is comparable across medication types and patient conditions. The individual derived score for each of the 4 dimensions (effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction) of the TSQM II questionnaire ranged from 0-100, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction to treatment.

Time frame: At Week 12 (Day 84)
