Study summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of secretome injection and intradermal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on hair density and the terminal-to-vellus hair ratio in patients with androgenetic alopecia at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital.

Read the detailed description

This research is an experimental study with a randomized controlled clinical design involving two intervention groups: one receiving secretome injections and the other receiving intradermal platelet-rich plasma injections. Evaluations are conducted by measuring hair density and the terminal-to-vellus hair ratio before and after treatment using trichoscopy/dermoscopy.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male patients with androgenetic alopecia, aged 25 to 59 years, with clinical presentation consistent with Hamilton-Norwood grades II to VI, seeking treatment at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital.
  • Female patients with androgenetic alopecia, aged 25 to 59 years, with clinical presentation consistent with Ludwig grades I to III, seeking treatment at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital.
  • Female patients who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patients who have discontinued anti-androgen medication and minoxidil for at least 1 month prior to the procedure.
  • Patients with no known allergies to secretome components and/or materials used in the -rich plasma (PRP) preparation process.
  • Patients who are proficient in Indonesian and willing to provide written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who are unable to speak or understand Indonesian and/or are unwilling to provide written .
  • Patients presenting with types of hair loss other than androgenetic alopecia.
  • Patients currently undergoing therapy with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
  • Patients who have received intradermal injections to the scalp within at least 6 months prior to the study.
  • Patients with active infections and/or active dermatitis on the scalp.
  • Patients with a known history of allergy to secretome components and/or materials used in the -rich plasma (PRP) preparation process.
  • History of hypertrophic scarring or blood clotting (coagulation) disorders.
  • Patients unable to complete the research procedures in their entirety.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Terminal-to-Vellus Hair Ratio

    The ratio of terminal hair (thick, pigmented hair, diameter \>40 micrometer) to vellus hair (fine hair, diameter \<30 micrometer) in areas of androgenetic alopecia

    Time frame: Baseline (before treatment), post-intervention (at 8 weeks), and during follow-up visits (months 3, 6, and 9)

  2. Hair density

    The number of hairs per specific scalp area was measured in hairs/cm²

    Time frame: Baseline (before treatment), post-intervention (at 8 weeks), and during follow-up visits (months 3, 6, and 9)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
