Study summary

The goal of this study is to determine how safe and effective it is to improve hair growth using XVIE solution applied on the scalp of women with self-perceived thinning hair.

The main aims of this trial are:

  1. To confirm using photographic analysis, changes in the quality, volume, and thickness of hair.
  2. To gauge patient satisfaction with hair changes and application process.

Participants who qualify will complete 5 to 6 visits after voluntary consent has been given. Participant's scalp will be numbed and the XVIE solution will be applied by microneedling. Photographs will be taken at each visit to measure changes in hair volume, thickness, and growth. Every participant will receive active treatment twice over the 4 month period.

Read the detailed description

XVIE is a proprietary, additive-free Human amniotic fluid (hAF) based therapy, containing a diverse array of bioactive molecules including growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, extracellular matrix proteins, and extracellular vesicles including exosomes. Extensive research have shown the ability of Xvie components to support cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, immune regulation, and matrix remodeling which has the potential to reverse underlying cause of hair loss.

In the study, participants will be asked to complete the following:

  • Provide basic personal Information
  • Provide a Medical \& Surgical History
  • Follow study requirements to avoid certain medication and treatments
  • Complete all study visits and follow-up calls
  • Complete self-assessments and treatment use logs
  • Allow clinical assessment and photographic documentation of treatment.

All participants have the right to refuse further participation in the study at any time.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Women aged 28-65 years with self-perceived thinning hair (confirmed by an investigator).
  • Ludwig Scale 1 to 2
  • Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI.
  • Ability and willingness to comply with the study protocol.
  • Commitment to using effective throughout the study if of .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy, nursing, or recent initiation of hormone therapy.
  • Change in other hair treatments within 3 months prior to the study.
  • Known uncontrolled health conditions (e.g., poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension).
  • History of hair or scalp disorders that could interfere with study results.
  • History of keloid formation or poor wound healing
  • History of bleeding and/or clotting disorders
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Within-subject increase in hair quality, volume, and thickness, assessed via Canfield HairMetrix® Phototrichogram Analysis

    Quantitative hair measurements calculated by analyzing the participants digital images from baseline to 4 months after multiple treatments with XVIE

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 months

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events associated with Treatment

    Collect and quantify the incidence of treatment-related adverse events and treatment-related serious adverse events that occur during the trial within 30 days of microneedling treatment.

    Time frame: From first treatment until the end of treatment at 4 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Hair Density Changes measured by SOCAi

    Images will be captured using the the SOCAi system at baseline and Days 30, 60, 90, and 120, to evaluate hair density changes.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of the study at 4 months

Other outcomes

  1. Participant self-assessment of hair improvements collected via questionnaires

    Observations and changes noted in hair loss graded on scale of 0 to 4 with 0 as no change and 4 as a very severe outcome. Observations and changes noted in quality of life based on hair loss, with outcomes graded between extremely effected to not at all. Observations are based on self-assessments completed at baseline and Day 120.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of study at 4 months

  2. Investigator assessment of changes in hair quality

    Changes noted in hair quality graded on a scale of -3 to +3, with -3 as decreased/significantly worsened, 0 indicates no change, and +3 as increased/significantly improved

    Time frame: From baseline to the end of the study at 4 months
