There is currently limited information about the need for continuous therapy after achieving scalp hair regrowth.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To report results from the randomized withdrawal period of the BRAVE-AA1 trial.</p><p><strong>Design, setting, and participants: </strong>BRAVE-AA1 was a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 randomized clinical trial with a treatment withdrawal substudy that was conducted at 70 centers in 3 countries beginning in March 2019. It included 654 adults with severe alopecia areata (AA) (Severity of Alopecia Tool [SALT] score ≥50) who were randomized 3:2:2 to receive treatment with baricitinib, 4 mg; baricitinib, 2 mg; or placebo.

The median (IQR) follow-up time was 87.5 (32.0-157.0) weeks.

Mean EASI and NRS for pruritus were 2.7 (95% CI, 1.2-4.2) and 3.5 (95% CI, 2.7-4.3), respectively, after 5 years of treatment. Statistically significant differences between age groups were found over time for EASI and IGA; however, differences were rather small (week 52: EASI, 0.3-1.6; IGA, 0.12-0.26). No statistically significant differences between age groups were found for NRS for pruritus. Median thymus- and activation-related chemokine levels considerably decreased from 1751 pg/mL (95% CI, 1614-1900 pg/mL) to 390 pg/mL (95% CI, 368-413 pg/mL) after 6 months of treatment and remained low. Median eosinophil levels temporarily increased up to week 16, with a subsequently statistically significant decrease over time. In total, 306 patients (23.8%) discontinued dupilumab after a median (IQR) of 54.0 (29.0-110.00) weeks, with adverse events among 98 patients (7.6%) and ineffectiveness among 85 patients (6.6%) as the most frequently reported reasons.
