Is Your Teen Struggling with Alopecia Areata?

Discover a New Path to Wellness Through Clinical Trials

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss, primarily on the scalp. In children and adolescents, the onset of alopecia areata is often sudden, unlike most adult hair loss conditions. The visible nature of hair loss can significantly affect self-esteem, trigger social anxiety, and contribute to emotional distress.

Revival Research Institute is conducting an alopecia areata clinical trial for adolescents to explore innovative treatment options. These studies aim to assess the safety and efficacy of investigational therapies that could potentially improve scalp hair regrowth, quality of life, and emotional health for adolescents living with this condition.

You may qualify for the alopecia areata clinical trial for adolescents near you if you are:

Male & female between 12 to <18 years of age
≥50% hair loss of the scalp, as measured by SALT
Have a definitive diagnosis of alopecia areata

About the Clinical Trials for Adolescents with Alopecia Areata

For children and teens, living with alopecia areata can take a deep emotional toll. The sudden loss of hair often in visible patches can affect how they see themselves and how others respond to them. Social situations like school, sports, or even hanging out with friends can become stressful, leading to withdrawal or low self-esteem.

Many families find it difficult to navigate the uncertainty that comes with alopecia areata in adolescents. The unpredictable nature of hair loss and regrowth can create frustration, and existing treatment options may not always be effective. Clinical trials offer a chance to explore potential new therapies, providing hope for better outcomes and helping teens regain a sense of control over their condition.

Alopecia areata clinical trial for adolescents will be conducted in several locations across the United States, including Michigan & Georgia. To ensure study eligibility, all participants must comply with all study procedures. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria after undergoing the screening phase and are chosen to participate will be given the placebo or study treatment.

*All study procedures and study-related treatments, including the investigational drug, are provided at no cost, and no insurance is required to participate, and participants may receive compensation for time and travel.

*To take the next step, submit the form above, and our research staff will contact you to determine if you qualify for the study. A brief discussion about your health and medical history may be required.

Get Started: What to Expect?

If your child or teen is living with alopecia areata, they may qualify for a clinical trial exploring new treatment options. After submitting the interest form above, a research team member will contact you for a brief pre-screening to see if you meet the initial eligibility criteria.
