A Phase 3, External and Synthetic Placebo-controlled Randomized Study with Dose-up for Non-responders to Investigate Safety and Efficacy of Ritlecitinib 50 mg and 100 mg Once Daily in Adult and Adolescent Participants 12 Years of Age and Older with Alopeica Areata

Study Description

Ritlecitinib is approved in many countries at a dose of 50 mg (milligram) taken by mouth once a day for the treatment of patients 12 years and older with severe alopecia areata. This study will look at both the 50 mg dose and a 100 mg dose.
