General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
-Identifying changes on gene expression level associated with minoxidil treatment with special regard to profiles of genes relevant for AGA treatment and for specific effects of early minoxidil action, respectively (1) minoxidil sulfotransferases, potassium channel regulation (2) inflammation, (3) vasoregulation and (4) sexual hormone production and metabolism;
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The dosage of the active ingredients of the test product corresponds to 2 x 50 mg minoxidil per day = 100 mg/day.
If, contrary to expectations, a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction should occur, this would lead to the immediate discontinuation of the study participation of the respective volunteer, followed by medical treatment and close medical follow-up.
Each visit is accompanied by a thorough inspection of the scalp by the investigator to ensure safety for the further course of the study.
The subjects must visit the study centre nine times during the course of the 8-week study to document the condition of alopecia by means of the diagnostic tests. These documents are stored in pseudonymised form and used for scientific purposes, again only in anonymised form.
Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to the hair dye, tattoo ink or disinfectant may occur occasionally (≥1/1000 to ˂1/100) A spot tattoo on the scalp may cause bleeding, which quickly stops. Inflammation, damage or irritation of nerves is generally rare (≥1/10000 to ˂ 1/1000).
In other studies on the use of minoxidil foam, itching, desquamation (2.8%) and inflammation of the skin (1.7%) occurred in 4.4% of cases.
