Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline, Week24

    SALT is a quantitative assessment of alopecia areata (AA) severity based on the scalp hair loss. Score range: 0-100%. Higher score indicates more severe disease. Change from baseline is defined as the baseline value minus the value at a specific visit. Positive change from baseline signifies an improvement. Baseline is defined as the last measurement prior to first dosing (Day 1).

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (All-causality and Treatment-related) - Single-Blind Extension (SBE) Period

    Time frame: Week 28 up to Week 52

    An AE (non-serious and serious) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Any such events with initial onset or increasing in severity after the first dose of study treatment were counted as treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE). Treatment-related TEAE were determined by investigators. Arms end with "withdrawal Segment" and "retreatment segment" described the same population while in different treatment segment .The reason why count on PF-06700841 differ by 1 participant is that 1 responder directly entered the retreatment segment and skipped the withdrawal segment.

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (All-causality and Treatment-related) - Cross-Over Extension (COE) Period

    Time frame: COE day 1 up to end of study

    An AE (non-serious and serious) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

Treatment-related TEAE were determined by investigators.

  4. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities During SBE Period

    Time frame: Week 28 up to Week 52 for non-responders and responders in the withdrawal segment, AT day 1 up to AT Week 24 for retreatment segment (AT=active treatment)

    Following laboratory parameters were assessed against pre-defined abnormality criteria: hematology(Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, RBC count, Reticulocyte count, Platelet count, WBC count with differential, Total neutrophils, Eosinophils, Monocytes, Basophils, Lymphocytes); serum chemistry (BUN and Creatinine, Cystatin C, Creatine Phosphokinase, Glucose , Na+, K+, Cl ,Ca++, Total CO2, AST, ALT, Total Indirect & Direct Bilirubin, Alkaline phosphatase, Uric acid, Albumin,Total protein, Fasting lipid Profile Panel; urinalysis(pH, Glucose, Protein, Nitrites, Leukocyte esterase, Microscopy culture);Other(HIV, HBsAg, HBcAb, HepB reflex (HbsAB), if applicable, HCVAb, Serum pregnancy test, Urine pregnancy test, FSH, QFT G or other IGRA, or PPD, EBV, CMV, HSV1, HSV2, VZV, Skin swab for herpetiform rash, Skin swab for potential drug related rash).Retest/discontinuation criteria are defined in Protocol Appendix 6.1 and 6.2 respectively.

  5. Numbers of Participants With Specific Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities During COE Period

    Following laboratory parameters were assessed against pre-defined abnormality criteria: hematology(Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, RBC count, Reticulocyte count, Platelet count, WBC count with differential, Total neutrophils, Eosinophils, Monocytes, Basophils, Lymphocytes); serum chemistry (BUN and Creatinine, Cystatin C, Creatine Phosphokinase, Glucose , Na+, K+, Cl ,Ca++, Total CO2, AST, ALT, Total Indirect & Direct Bilirubin, Alkaline phosphatase, Uric acid, Albumin,Total protein, Fasting lipid Profile Panel; urinalysis(pH, Glucose, Protein, Nitrites, Leukocyte esterase, Microscopy culture);Other(HIV, HBsAg, HBcAb, HepB reflex (HbsAB), if applicable, HCVAb, Serum pregnancy test, Urine pregnancy test, FSH, QFT G or other IGRA, or PPD, EBV, CMV, HSV1, HSV2, VZV, Skin swab for herpetiform rash, Skin swab for potential drug related rash).Retest/discontinuation criteria are defined in Protocol Appendix 6.1 and 6.2 respectively.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24 -AT/AU Participants

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 24

    SALT is a quantitative assessment of alopecia areata (AA) severity based on the scalp hair loss. The SALT score can vary from 0 to 100%, with higher scores representing increasing severity of disease. Change from baseline is defined as the baseline value minus the value at a specific visit. Positive change from baseline implies an improvement. Alopecia totalis (AT): derived as SALT score = 100% at baseline only. Alopecia universalis (AU): derived as SALT score = 100% and both eyelash and eyebrow assessments were "none" at baseline.
