Study summary

Cellbooster® Hair (CBH) is a class III medical device, CE marked, HA-based injectable using the patented CHAC Technology. It consists of stabilized Hyaluronic Acid 18mg (6mg/ml) with Amino Acids and Vitamins, and minerals (zinc, copper). The medical device is designed for strengthening hair follicles, improving hair growth and microcirculation. It restores scalp skin structure and provides hair fiber restructuring. The device is a resorbable injectable implant for preventing and treating various scalp and hair problems linked to hormonal imbalance, psoriasis, seborrhea, stress, nutrition and trace elements deficiencies, such as: hair loss, hair breakage, scalp dehydration, dandruff, premature graying. The device improves microcirculation, restores scalp skin structure and other qualities, provides hair fiber restructuring after physical and/or chemical damage, such as: hair dying, permanent wave, sun, dryer.

The current post-market clinical investigation aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBH in the scalp of subjects. For this purpose, healthy subjects with signs of hair loss will receive a 6-session treatment spaced every 2 weeks and will be followed-up over 130 days after the initial injection session. Objective measurements of scalp function and hair characteristics parameters will be performed allowing to assess hair density, hair diameter, hair structure, scalp hydration, scalp barrier function and thickness and having illustrative pictures. Subjective clinical improvement will be evaluated with clinical scoring, as well as subject and investigator satisfaction degrees. The safety of the injections will be assessed by collecting the Injection Site Reactions (ISRs) and Adverse Events (AEs).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
