A 6-Month Phase 3, Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Study, to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Topically Applied Clascoterone (Cortexolone 17A-Propionate) Solution for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Males, Followed by a 6-Month Single-Blind Treatment with Clascoterone or Vehicle BID Solution. (SCALP 1) (SCALP1)
We are studying a new topical drug, Clascoternone, to treat adult males who have male pattern baldness. Participants randomly (by chance) receive the drug or an inactive solution that is applied to the area of hair loss twice a day for six months. We will compare the effectiveness and side effects of the two groups. Men who have regrowth of hair may also participate in a second six-month treatment to look at the long-term effectiveness of the drug.

Neptunia A Phase IIa, Randomized, Parallel, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Enpatoran in Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis Participants receiving Standard of Care
Dermatomyositis (DM) and Polymyositis (PM) are both autoimmune diseases. In autoimmune diseases, the body’s immune system, which normally protects us against infection and illness, starts to attack the body’s own cells instead. The main purpose of this research study is to see whether an investigational drug called enpatoran (referred to as the “study drug”) works better than placebo to improve symptoms in people with DM or PM. A “placebo” looks like the study drug but does not have any active substance in it. Researchers also hope to find out more about how safe the study drug is and how well tolerated it is.
• adults with primarily diagnosed with Dermatomyositis (DM) or Polymyositis (PM)
• diagnosis of myositis within 3 years of cancer
• malignancy-associated or juvenile DM
A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of Povorcitinib (INCB054707) in Participants With Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa
We are studying a new drug, INCB054707, used to treat people who have hidradenitis suppurativa which is a chronic skin condition characterized by lumps or boils in places such as the armpits or groin. The skin lesions develop because of inflammation of the follicle. We are studying two doses of the drug and we will compare the effectiveness and side effects that occur. We will also have a group that receives an inactive medication (placebo). After the first 12 weeks of taking the drug or placebo, all participants will receive the active drug. The study will last for about 62 weeks.
• moderate to severe H.S. for at least 3 months
• mild H.S.
• women who are pregnant (or who are considering pregnancy) or breastfeeding
A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Baricitinib in Children from 6 Years& Less than 18 Years of Age with Alopecia Areata
We are conducting a research study for children ages 6-17 with patchy Alopecia Areata (AA). The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an investigational drug called Baricitinib. This study will compare the investigational drug to a placebo (inactive substance) to see how well the investigational drug works.

• current AA episode of at least 6 months duration with hair loss encompassing 50% or more of the scalp
• history of trial and failure with at least 1 available treatment
• history of psychological counseling related to AA
• primarily diffuse type of AA (characterized by diffuse hair shedding)
• currently experiencing other forms of alopecia including, but not limited to: trichotillomania, TE, chemotherapy-induced hair loss, or any other concomitant conditions (for example, tinea capitis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, or secondary syphilis)
A Parallel Group Treatment, Phase 2a, Double-blind, Two-arm Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Farudodstat Tablets Compared with its Placebo in Male or Female AlopeciaAreata Participants Aged 18 Years and Older with 50% or Greater Scalp Hair Loss (FAST-AA)
The main purpose of the study is to see whether farudodstat, taken orally for 12 weeks, can help people with alopecia areata and to find out if farudodstat is safe and tolerable when compared to placebo. The placebo is a pill that looks like farudodstat tablet but has no drug or other active ingredient in it.

A Phase 1/2A, (Part B, participant-, investigator-, and sponsor-blind) study; to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy (Part B only) of UCB1381 in study participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis;(Part B)
This is an early study of a new drug called UCB1381. In the first part of the study, we are looking at increasing doses of the drug when compared to an inactive drug (placebo) when given to healthy participants. In the second part, we will look at the safety and effectiveness of one dose of UCB1381 compared to an inactive drug (placebo) when given to people who have moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis.

A Phase 1b, Randomized, Vehicle-Controlled, Double-Blind, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Study of ARQ-255 Topical Suspension in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects with Alopecia Areata
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and tolerability of twice daily application of the study drug, ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% people with alopecia areata. There are 2 study drugs in this study: ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% and vehicle (placebo). Participants will be randomized (like drawing straws) to either ARQ-255 topical suspension 3% or vehicle to be applied twice daily for 12 weeks. A vehicle is a study treatment that looks like the test drug and is made from the same base products used to make ARQ-255 topical suspension 3%, but it does not contain any active study ingredients.

Use of Continuous Wave Doppler to assess Vascular Malformations in Pediatric Dermatology
The aim of our study is to look at blood flow in various tumors and irregularities located in blood vessels using a handheld continuous wave doppler. Correct and efficient diagnosis of vascular anomalies (outside of what is expected to happen in blood vessels) in pediatric patients will help determine a treatment plan. Blood flow in vascular anomalies has not been well described in the past.

• have a vascular anomaly such as Arteriovenous malformations (AVM), Capillary malformations (CM), Venous malformations (VM), Lymphatic malformations (LM), Pyogenic granuloma (PG), Infantile hemangioma (IH), or Congenital hemangioma (CH)
• being treated at University of MN pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic or the multidisciplinary vascular anomalies clinic
• history of any prior surgical, radiologic, medications for treatment (including oral or topical beta blocking agents)
An Open Label Study to Evaluate DPCP Ointment for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
The purpose of the study is two-fold. First, we will see whether treating alopecia areata with a ointment containing DPCP is safe and causes hair to regrow. Second, we will take blood and scalp biopsy samples and analyze them for biomarkers. The biomarkers in this study are molecules related to DNA that tell us whether certain genes are turned on or off. Those markers may help us predict whether or not patients respond to this type of treatment. The testing for biomarkers will also help us to better understand what causes alopecia areata. This study requires you to make forty-two (42) visits to the study site over a course of approximately four (4) months.
