19. A method for the treatment the prophylaxis and/or treatment of alopecia areata comprising the steps of:
-
a) measuring the SALT score of an individual by performing a scalp hair loss analysis by assessing the hair loss on the left side, right side, top and back of the patient, wherein the left side and the right side each account for 18% of the overall head surface, the top accounts for 40% of the overall head surface and the back accounts for 24% of the overall head surface, b) assessing the type of hair remaining on each area (pigmented/non-pigmented/indeterminant), c) calculating a SALT score by the formula;
d) SALT score=(% left side)*0.18+(% right side)*0.18+(% top side)*0.40+(% back side)*0.24, ande) determining a daily dose of the compound according to Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof comprised between 25 mg and 400 mg for administration to said individual.
