What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Rate of Target Arean Hair Count (TAHC)

    The mean change in TAHC of non-vellus from baseline

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Hair Growth State Assessed by Hair Growth Questionnaire Assessment (HGQA)

    To assess the hair growth by 7-question questionnaire and summary the number and percentage of subjects in each category for each HGQA question.

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks

  2. Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) change from baseline

    The mean change in TAHC of non-vellus from Baseline

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks

  3. Rate of Target Area Hair Width (TAHW)

    The mean change in TAHW of non-vellus from baseline

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks

  4. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA)

    Summary of subject number and percentage in each IGA category

    Time frame: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks

  5. Subject Self-Assessment (SSA)
