What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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

    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).

    Measured: Baseline, Week24

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

    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.

    Measured: Week 28 up to Week 52

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

    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.

    Measured: COE day 1 up to end of study

  4. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities During SBE 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.

    Measured: 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)

  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.

    Measured: COE day 1 up to end of study

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24 -AT/AU Participants

    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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving SALT 30 at Week 24

    SALT is a quantitative assessment of alopecia areata (AA) severity based on the scalp hair loss. A SALT 30 response is a 30% or greater reduction from baseline in SALT score. The SALT score can vary from 0 to 100%, with higher scores representing increasing severity of disease. The analysis was done using FAS (full analysis set) based on Non-responder imputation (ie. set missing values to be non-responsive) data. The 90% CI was calculated using Chan and Zhang method.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  3. Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Across Time (Treatment Period)

    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 score indicates more severe disease. Baseline is defined as the last measurement prior to first dosing (Day 1). Change from baseline is defined as the baseline value minus the value at a specific visit. Positive change from baseline implies an improvement. Least Square Mean and 90% Confidence Interval of Arms (PF-06651600 and PF-06700841) are the Least Square Mean and 90% Confidence Interval for difference from placebo respectively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PF-06651600 and PF-06700841 in people with Alopecia Areata, run by Pfizer at 55 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in United States, Australia, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 May 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) Score at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline, Week24). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02974868, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 May 2020.
