AbbVie is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled A Phase 3 Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Upadacitinib in Adult and Adolescent Subjects With Alopecia Areata and at Least 25% Scalp Hair Loss. This study aims to assess the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of upadacitinib in treating severe alopecia areata (AA) in adolescents and adults in Japan, a condition characterized by immune system-induced hair loss.
The intervention being tested is upadacitinib, an oral tablet, which is already approved for other uses and is now being investigated for AA treatment. Participants will receive either upadacitinib or a placebo, with the possibility of re-randomization to different treatment groups during the study.
The study follows a randomized, parallel assignment model with double masking for both participants and investigators. The primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to determine the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib in AA patients.
The study began on June 19, 2025, with its latest update submitted on August 11, 2025. These dates are crucial as they mark the study’s progress and provide a timeline for potential results and subsequent market implications.
This study could influence AbbVie’s stock performance positively if upadacitinib proves effective, given the unmet need in AA treatment. It may also impact investor sentiment by strengthening AbbVie’s position in the dermatology market, potentially affecting competitors exploring similar treatments.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
