NCT06066827

Brief Summary

This clinical trial study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of secretome from ADSCs with minoxidil in AGA cases, to provide future reference or standard in the application of cell-based therapy and its derivatives in AGA cases. The subject of this study is androgenetic alopecia population. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the secretome of ADSC's effective compared to minoxidil?
  • Is the secretome of ADSC's safe compared to minoxidil?
  • Is the combination of the secretome of ADSC's and minoxidil better in safety and effectiveness compared to secretome or minoxidil alone?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Improvement of alopecia in physical examination

    The investigator conduct a scalp examination every 4 weeks until the twelfth week to measure the improvement of alopecia with Hamilton-Norwood scale

    Week 0 (baseline), week 4 after intervention, week 8 after intervention, week 12 (end of trial)

  • Macroscopic hair growth documented

    The investigator conducted documentation of the subject in 7 positions, so that the improvement of alopecia can be seen from various directions

    Week 0 (baseline), week 4 after intervention, week 8 after intervention, week 12 (end of trial)

  • Microscopic hair growth evaluated by Trichoscopy

    Microscopic hair growth was documented using Heine® Delta 20 Plus (Heine, Germany) dermoscopy for qualitative measurement

    Week 0 (baseline), week 4 after intervention, week 8 after intervention, week 12 (end of trial)

  • Microscopic hair growth evaluated by Trichoscan

    The investigator use Fotofinder® medicam 1000 s video-trichoscopy (FotoFinder Systems GmbH, Germany) for quantitative measurements, such as hair rate anagen (%), hair rate telogen (%), hair rate terminal (%), and hair rate vellus (%)

    Week 0 (baseline), week 4 after intervention, week 8 after intervention, week 12 (end of trial)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient satisfaction

    Week 12 (end of trial)

Study Arms (3)

Minoxidil

EXPERIMENTAL

The drug used is minoxidil 5% solutions for topical use, 1 cc, 2 times a day, every day for 12 weeks

Drug: Minoxidil Topical

Secretome from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

EXPERIMENTAL

Secretom concentrate of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) 2cc, injected to the scalp on weeks 0, 4, and 8 of the study

Other: Secretome from adipose-derived stem cells

Minoxidil + Secretome

EXPERIMENTAL

The subject received both minoxidil and secretome from ADSCs, with the same dosage form, dosage, frequency, and duration

Combination Product: Combination of minoxidil and secretome from adipose-derived stem cells

Interventions

20 subjects received minoxidil only for the treatment of AGA

Minoxidil

20 subjects received the injection of secretome from adipose-derived stem cells only for the treatment of AGA

Secretome from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

20 subjects received both minoxidil and injection of secretome from adipose-derived stem cells for the treatment of AGA

Minoxidil + Secretome
