Percent Change From Baseline in SALT Score at Week 24 Primary · Baseline to Week 24

The SALT score determined the degree of hair loss based on the percentage of scalp surface area involved on the top, back, and each side of the scalp for AA. The Investigator determined the percent scalp hair loss in a given quadrant, multiplied this by the total scalp area delineated by that quadrant, and summed the resultant numbers for each quadrant to give the total percent scalp hair loss with a range of 0-100. Higher scores indicated more severe AA symptoms. A decrease in SALT score from baseline indicated a reduction in AA symptoms. Baseline indicates last non-missing valid observation
