Brief Summary

The REVIAN study is designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the REVIAN System in male participants with androgenic alopecia. An Active modulated light therapy REVIAN System will be compared to a Placebo Comparator non-active REVIAN System in participants using the device for a daily 10-minute treatment over the course of 26-weeks. At each follow-up visit, participants will be interviewed to determine if any adverse events (AEs) were experienced since the previous follow-up visit. All participants will be required to complete self-administering scalp hair growth and life quality questionnaires at each follow-up visit. Investigators will be required to complete global assessments of scalp hair growth for each enrolled participant at each follow-up visit. Macrophotography evaluations will be performed at baseline, 8-, 16-, and 26 weeks for all participants using standard Canfield blinded reviewer. Global photographs of superior and vertex scalp will be taken by participants and by PI to be assessed by a blinded reviewer once all photos have been captured for each participant per visit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mean Change in Terminal Hair Count From Baseline to 16 Weeks

  The primary efficacy outcome of this study is mean change in hair count from baseline. Standardized Canfield macro-photographs will be taken to capture digital images at baseline and will be compared to images captured at various endpoints throughout the study. Multiple images will be taken at each endpoint and will be reviewed by independent blinded observers to conduct the hair count

  Primary efficacy endpoint is 16-weeks follow-up from the initial application at baseline
