Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of DC120 on hair growth, versus a reference product (ALOSTIL®), in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, over 16 weeks. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety of DC120 in comparison to the reference product and placebo: - Adverse events recorded at each visit, - Dermal tolerability of each target zone: erythema, desquamation, pruritus, burning, others - Global physical examination - Vital signs: heart rate, blood pressure ;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline of nonvellus target area hair count (TAHC) (number of hair > 30 µm/cm²) measured using the phototrichogram method (Trichoscan) between V2 (baseline) and V10.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: V2 (baseline) and V10 (Trial day 112).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change from baseline in nonvellus TAHC between V2 (baseline) and V6. - Change from baseline in vellus TAHC: o between V2 (baseline) and V6 o between V2 (baseline) and V10 - Change from baseline in total TAHC: o between V2 (baseline) and V6 o between V2 (baseline) and V10 - Change from baseline in cumulative hair thickness (mm/cm²) density : o between V2 (baseline) and V6 o between V2 (baseline) and V10 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: V2 (baseline) and V6 (trial day 56) and V10 (Trial day 112), respectively.
