Law EH, Hanson KA, Harries M, Korver D, Sherif B, Chirila C. Patient-reported outcome improvements following scalp hair regrowth among patients with alopecia areata: analysis of the ALLEGRO-2b/3 trial. J Dermatolog Trea. 2025 Feb 3;36(1):2460577. doi: 10.1080/09546634.2025.2460577


PURPOSE: Alopecia areata (AA), an autoimmune disorder characterized by non-scarring hair loss, is detrimental to the psychological health and quality of life of people living with AA.
