Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part A: Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 50% Improvement in SALT50 Response in Terminal Hair (Pigmented and Nonpigmented).
Percentage of subjects achieving a SALT 50 (defined as a ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in SALT). SALT score is on a percent scale where 0% is no hair loss and 100 % is total hair loss.
Part B : Percentage of Participants Achieving a SALT50 Response in Terminal Hair (Pigmented and Nonpigmented)
Percentage of subjects achieving a SALT 50 (defined as a ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in SALT). SALT score is on a percent scale where 0% is no hair loss and 100 % is total hair loss.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Part A : Percentage of Participants With 50% to 100% Scalp Involvement at Baseline Achieving a SALT50 Response in Terminal Hair.
Number of participants achieving 50% or greater improvement in their SALT score (SALT50) compared to Baseline. SALT score 0-100 with lower score indicating better health outcomes.
Part B : Percentage of Participants With 50% to 100% Scalp Involvement at Baseline Achieving a SALT50 Response in Terminal Hair (Pigmented and Nonpigmented).
Number of participants achieving 50% or greater improvement in their SALT score (SALT50) compared to Baseline. SALT score 0-100 with lower score indicating better health outcomes.
Part A and B : Percentage of Participants Achieving a SALT90 Response in Terminal Hair.
Number of participants achieving 90% or greater improvement in their SALT score (SALT90) compared to Baseline. SALT score 0-100 with lower score indicating better health outcomes.
Part B : Percentage of Subjects Whose AA Lesions Treated Since Baseline Achieved a Physician's Global Assessment of Regrowth (PGARG) Score of at Least 3
Number of subjects achieving a Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) score of 3 or above at week 24 (0, no regrowth; 1, <25% of regrowth; 2, 25%-49% of regrowth; 3, 50%-74% of regrowth; 4, 75%-99% of re- growth; 5, 100% of regrowth).
Part B : Percentage of Participants Achieving a SALT50 in Terminal Hair (Pigmented and Nonpigmented).
Number of participants achieving 50% or greater improvement in their SALT score (SALT50) compared to Baseline. SALT score 0-100 with lower score indicating better health outcomes
Part B: Mean Change From Baseline in SALT Score
Severity of Alopecia Tool Score (SALT) calculation is based on a scoring system. The scalp is divided into the following 4 areas: 1) Vertex: 40% (0.4) of scalp surface area, 2) Right profile of scalp: 18% (0.18) of scalp surface area, 3) Left profile of scalp: 18% (0.18) of scalp surface area, and 4) Posterior aspect of scalp: 24% (0.24) of scalp surface area. The percentage of hair loss in any of these areas is the percentage hair loss multiplied by percent surface area of the scalp in that area. The SALT score is the sum of percentage of hair loss in all the above-mentioned areas, so a lower number indicates a better outcome. The reported SALT score range is from a minimum of 0 (no hair loss) to a maximum of 100 (100% hair loss).
Part A and B : Number of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
Adverse events reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug/treatment
