Alopecia Areata
Conditions
Brief summary
Prospective observational registry focusing on an adolescent cohort diagnosed with severe alopecia areata,receiving routine care from dermatology providers. Visit schedules for patients will be determined by the provider in accordance with routine clinical care, and any prescriptions provided to patients will adhere to product availability and local prescribing guidelines/regulations in the country where the participating registry site is located.
Detailed description
The objective of the registry is to create a cohort of adolescent subjects to evaluate the long-term real-world safety and effectiveness of routine clinical care of treatments for severe AA. Data collected through the registry may be used to address a range of research questions and use cases including, but not limited to: better characterizing the natural history of the disease, evaluating the effectiveness and safety of commercially available medications for the treatment of severe AA in adolescents, providing information to support characterization of adolescent growth and development and ongoing risk-benefit evaluation by drug manufacturers and regulators, and research related to drug utilization, disease burden, and unmet needs. Further, data collected may be used to generate real world evidence to inform clinical decision making by patients and treating providers. This will be enabled through standardized data collection including validated instruments for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs), the active evaluation of prevalent and incident comorbidities and adverse events, and the recording of medication utilization data.
