Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the safety and efficacy of

Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% E Foam in the treatment of Central Centrifugal

Cicatricial Alopecia.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Alopecia Drug: Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Emollient Foam Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is an inflammation-induced

hair loss starting in the central scalp and progressing centrifugally. The

cause of CCCA is unknown. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to stop

or slow the progression of scarring and permanent hair loss. Once scarring

occurs, the hair follicles are obliterated and the hair cannot regrow. Thus,

anti-inflammatory medications are used to decrease inflammation. Current

treatment includes topical and intralesional corticosteroids, oral

antibiotics, and hair transplantation, all which may take months to years to

show improvement. There is no evidence-based medicine on how to treat

primary cicatricial alopecias. Clobestasol Propionate 0.05% Emollient Foam is

an FDA-approved and marketed topical corticosteroid for the treatment of the

inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of moderate to severe corticosteroid-

responsive dermatoses of the scalp. Many studies found the foam to be less

irritating than the original formulation.
