A Trial to Assess the Effect of Delgocitinib Cream 20 mg/g on the Molecular Signature, Safety, and Efficacy in Adults With Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

This purpose of this trial was to investigate the molecular signature of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) and the effect of delgocitinib cream 2% on reversing the FFA disease signature in active lesions. The trial also investigated the clinical effect of delgocitinib cream on FFA compared to a placebo cream.

  • Subject who has undergone scalp reduction surgery or hair transplantation.
  • Subject is known to have immune deficiency or is immunocompromised.
  • Subject has used intralesional scalp corticosteroids or platelet rich plasma injection in the last 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Subject has used systemic treatment with immunosuppressive/modulating medication or medication within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Subject has used any topical medicated treatment that could affect FFA within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Subject has received any phototherapy within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

For Group 2 only (healthy subjects):

Treatment and study plan

Delgocitinib cream

Drug

Cream for topical application

Other names: LEO 124249 cream

Delgocitinib cream vehicle

Drug

The cream vehicle is similar to the delgocitinib cream except that it does not contain any active ingredient.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Expression of Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Ligand 9 (CXCL9), Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Ligand 10 (CXCL10), and Interferon (IFN)-γ From Baseline to Week 12.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    CXCL9, CXCL10 and IFN-γ are small proteins that act as chemical messengers, especially in the immune system.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) From Baseline to Week 12.

    Time frame: Between baseline and Week 12

    Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as any AEs with onset date on or after the first study treatment dosing.
