Current State of Research and Summary of Preceding Summits.
During its 25th anniversary year, the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) undertook a project to completely re-evaluate their research program and to help focus and direct future directions of alopecia areata (AA) research to better meet the goals of individuals with and the scientists working to discover mechanisms of disease and better treatments for AA. This project was embodied in five research summits in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2014 as part of the NAAF's main strategic initiative, the Alopecia Areata Treatment Development Program, to accelerate progress toward a viable treatment. The sixth summit, "Building and Crossing the Translational Bridge," was held in 2016 and highlighted strong clinical data on the efficacy of topical and oral JAK inhibitors in mouse models and human AA. The advances discussed in this most recent summit provide real hope for a reliable and relatively safe treatment for AA. This work validates the last 10 years of research translating basic research of AA into new treatments based on the firm foundation of modern immunologic and genetic research.
