Plain-language summary
This is a parallel, Phase 2 multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm study to investigate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) injections of amlitelimab treatment as monotherapy in participants aged 18 years and older with severe alopecia areata (AA). At the end of the double-blind treatment period, all participants will have the option to enter the open-label extension (OLE) period.
The study duration will be up to 160 weeks for participants entering the OLE period including a 2-to-4-week screening, a 36-week randomized double-blind period, an optional OLE period (104 weeks) and a 16-week safety follow-up. The open-label extension period is optional and open to all participants who have completed the double-blind treatment period.
The total number of visits will be up to 38 visits (or 12 visits for those not entering the OLE study).

Inclusion criteria
. Hair loss affecting ≥50% of the scalp, as measured by Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) at both screening and baseline visits.
. Current episode of severe hair loss of less than 8 years. Participants with a history of AA of more than 8 years who have observed episodes of terminal hair regrowth over their scalp ("moving patches" spontaneously or following treatment) in the past 8 years can be included.
. Stable disease: no evidence of terminal hair regrowth within 6 months (less than 10% improvement over the past 6 months). (guidance: if participant reports to have quite a bit more hair than 6 months prior, then patient cannot be included).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
