Alopecia Areata
What is it? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes your immune system to attack your body. Your immune system attacks your hair follicles because it thinks they are unwanted invaders, i.e. bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, that cause infection, illness and disease.
When this happens, your hair begins to fall out, often in clumps, and the extent varies. In some cases, it’s only in a few spots. In others, hair loss may be more significant.
Current available trials:

- Willing to answer survey questions regarding living with your condition and standard of care medications.
- Compensation will be given at each registry visit.
- Registry visits are every 6 months or shorter if a medication change is required by your doctor.
