HC017AA - drug for pediatric alopecia areata granted Orphan Drug status

hello,

I came across this in a different alopecia forum. I don't know much about the drug, but it sounds relevant to my interests so I thought I'd post the information up here

Orphan Drug status is one of a number of different FDA programs used to help speed testing and development of drugs that treat diseases that don't currently have viable treatment

Hi Chris i reached out to them and they said my child was too young. Only 7 and older.

even age 7 is aggressively young compared to the age requirements on a lot of other drugs used to treat alopecia. 

Did you inquire about participating in a trial?

yes they told me to contact them in a few years.  HC017AA, which is in the injection granted ODD status for the FDA is currently in pre-clinical trial. THEIR focus is pediatrics. they are very optimistic

 It seems strange how little information this company is putting out.

Has anyone heard of anything actually happening with this drug?
