About this trial

This is a single-center, open-label, basket phase 2b trial that will enroll Down Syndrome (DS) participants with at least one inflammatory skin condition (Atopic Dermatitis (AD) and/or Alopecia Areata (AA)). Patients will receive Abrocitinib 100 mg daily for 12 weeks. Responders (defined as achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 75 response for AD, or SALT \<= 20 for AA) will be kept on this dose, and non-responders based on these definitions, will initiate 200 mg daily for another 12 weeks. All AD and AA patients will be maintained on the respective dose of Abrocitinib from Week 24 through week 60.

Diagnosis of Trisomy 21 or translocation Down Syndrome.

Participant is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Week 0/Baseline. While on investigational product and for at least 28 days after taking the last dose of investigational product (IP), FCBP who engage in activity in which conception is possible must use one of the approved contraceptive options described below: a.

Participants with AA: A. cause of hair loss is indeterminable and/or they have concomitant causes of alopecia, such as traction, cicatricial, pregnancy-related, druginduced, telogen effluvium, or advanced androgenetic alopecia (i.e. Ludwig Type III or Norwood-Hamilton Stage ≥ V). B. Participant has a history of AA with no evidence of hair regrowth for ≥7 years since the last episode of hair loss

Participant has increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism, e.g. deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (history of venous thromboembolism, or first-degree relative with unprovoked venous thromboembolism (i.e. without known underlying cause such as trauma, surgery, immobilization, prolonged travel, pregnancy, hormone use, or plaster cast), that would suggest participant is at increased risk of inherited coagulation disorder (e.g. Factor V Leiden).
