Recruiting PHASE2 Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

Tests treatment safety and results for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

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?

Delgocitinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily treatment applied to the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

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
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and biomarker effects of twice-daily topical delgocitinib 2% cream in adults with lichen planopilaris (LPP) or central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) over a 48-week treatment period. Approximately 30 participants will be enrolled: 15 CCCA and 15 LPP.
