If subject is a female of non-childbearing potential, she must have documentedhistory of infertility, be in a menopausal state for one year, or had ahysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy.
Subject has a history of at least 6 months of moderate to severe AA (≥ 50% scalpinvolvement) as measured using the SALT score; OR subject has ≥ 95% loss of scalphair for enrollment as AA totalis (AT) or universalis (AU) subtypes.
Subject has a screening IgE > 200 and/or personal and/or familial history of atopy.
Subjects must meet the following laboratory criteria:
White blood cell count ≥ 3000/mm3 (≥ 3.0 x 109/L) and < 14,000/mm3 (≤ 14 x 109/L).
Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL (≥ 100 x 109/L).
Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL (≤ 132.6 μmol/L).
AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN). If the initialtest shows ALT or AST > 2 times the ULN, one repeat test is allowed during theScreening Phase.
Total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL (34 μmol/L). If the initial test shows totalbilirubin > 2 mg/dL (34 μmol/L), one repeat test is allowed during theScreening Phase.
Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL (≥ 6.2 mmol/L).
Subject is judged to be in otherwise good overall health following a detailedmedical and medication history, physical examination, and laboratory testing.
Exclusion
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

Subject has received a live attenuated vaccine ≤ 30 days prior to studyrandomization.
Subject has any uncertain or clinically significant laboratory abnormalities thatmay affect interpretation of study data or endpoints.
Subject has any other medical or psychological condition that, in the opinion of theinvestigator, may present additional unreasonable risks as a result of theirparticipation in the study and/or interfere with clinic visits and necessary studyassessments.
History of adverse systemic or allergic reactions to any component of the studydrug.
Severe, untreated asthma or a history of life-threatening asthma exacerbations whileon appropriate anti-asthmatic mediations.
