Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia study: Delgocitinib
Official title Safety and Biomarker Responses of Delgocitinib (JAK1,2,3/TYK2 Inhibitor) in Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia and Lichen Planopilaris
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07487948
What this study is testing
What is Delgocitinib?
An investigational topical cream being studied as a potential treatment for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. It is designed to inhibit Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which may reduce inflammatory signaling in the scalp.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study looks at how safe and well tolerated the cream is, and whether it changes certain skin markers in people with CCCA or LPP.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have either central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia or lichen planopilaris.
- What's involved
- Participants will apply the cream twice a day and attend clinic visits for safety checks and skin tests over 48 weeks.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts 48 weeks, with regular clinic visits for monitoring and testing.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
