Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in SALT [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  2. Proportion of Participants Achieving ≥30% Improvement From Baseline in SALT [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  3. Proportion of Participants Achieving ≥50% Improvement From Baseline in SALT [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  4. Proportion of Participants Achieving ≥75% Improvement From Baseline in SALT [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
  5. Number and Severity of Adverse Events (Double-Blind Treatment Period and Open-Label Extension Period) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 56 weeks (24-weeks of Double-Blind Treatment Period, 28-weeks of Open-Label Extension Period, and 4-weeks of Safety Follow-Up Period) ]
    Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events and clinically relevant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results.
