AA affects about 5.3 million people in the United States alone, including males and females across all ethnic groups, with a lifetime risk of 2.1%. Autoimmunity develops against the hair follicle, resulting in non-scarring hair loss that may begin as patches that can coalesce and progress to cover the entire scalp (alopecia totalis) or eventually the entire body (alopecia universalis). In AA, there is no permanent destruction of the hair follicle, and regrowth remains possible. Treatment options for AA include intralesional steroids, topical anthralin, allergic contact dermatitis with diphencyprone (DPCP), dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), or squaric acid dibutyl ester (SADBE), and recently janus kinase ( JAK) inhibitors. Despite the recent approval of JAKs for the treatment of extensive alopecia areata, some patients are treatment resistant, suffer relapses, or cannot take an oral immunosuppressive medication.\n\nThis study will attempt to elucidate the pre-treatment and post treatment skin and gut microbiome composition to determine whether specific bacterial species may correlate with disease or treatment response. To determine the effects of MTT on immune cell composition and activation systemically and locally in the skin, we will analyze major immune cell populations in peripheral blood samples and collect skin biopsies for histopathology and next generation sequencing analyses. Further, to determine if changes in immune cell populations affect the inflammatory response, we will profile inflammatory cytokines. To identify if changes in the gut microbiota influence the metabolic signature in AA, we will also perform untargeted metabolomics in stool gut microbiome samples and in plasma. Altogether, this comprehensive approach aims to identify the pathogenic immunological mechanisms associated with microbiome composition correlated to pre-treatment disease, post-treatment response, and any non-responders to treatment.",[26,27,28],"Alopecia Areata","Alopecia Totalis","Alopecia Universalis","RECRUITING","2026-06-25",{"date":32,"type":33},"2026-06-26","ACTUAL",{"date":35,"type":33},"2025-08-21",{"date":37,"type":20},"2028-03-15",{"name":39,"class":40},"University of Minnesota","OTHER",1,{"id":43,"slug":44,"hasResults":11,"nctId":45,"briefTitle":46,"officialTitle":47,"acronym":48,"eligibilityCriteria":49,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":15,"minAge":16,"maxAge":50,"enrollmentInfo":51,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":53,"briefSummary":55,"conditions":56,"keywords":58,"overallStatus":64,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":65,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":66,"startDateStruct":68,"completionDateStruct":70,"leadSponsor":72,"locationsCount":4},"100624174","phase-4-tofacitinib-vs-methotrexate-for-severe-alopecia-areata-tofa-mtx-aa-100624174","NCT07406204","Tofacitinib vs Methotrexate for Severe Alopecia Areata (TOFA-MTX-AA)","Comparative Clinical Efficacy of Tofacitinib Versus Methotrexate in Severe Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, and Alopecia Universalis: A Randomized Controlled Trial","TOFA-MTX-AA","Inclusion Criteria:\n\nAdults aged 18-60 years.\n\nClinical diagnosis of severe alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, or alopecia universalis (as per protocol\u002Foperational definition), confirmed by a consultant dermatologist.\n\nEither sex.\n\nAble and willing to provide written informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nCurrently receiving or recently used any systemic treatment intended for hair regrowth for alopecia areata (e.g., systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, JAK inhibitors).\n\nPregnant women.\n\nHistory or clinical evidence of renal, hepatic, or pulmonary disease.\n\nAny condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes participation unsafe or interferes with adherence to the study protocol.","60 Years",{"count":52,"type":20},78,[54],"PHASE4","This study will compare two oral medicines-tofacitinib and methotrexate-for treating severe alopecia areata, including alopecia totalis (loss of all scalp hair) and alopecia universalis (loss of scalp and body hair).
