Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dutasteride Versus Placebo and Finasteride in Men With Androgenetic Alopecia (NCT NCT01231607)

NCT ID: NCT01231607

Last Updated: 2018-08-10

Results Overview

The primary target area HC was based on the nonvellus hair (\>=30 micrometers \[μm\] in width; thick and noticeable hair) count within a target 2.54 cm (1 inch) diameter circle at the vertex (crown, topmost part of the head). A cosmetic ink dot was placed by tattoo at BL so that the same area could be identified at BL and post-BL. If the ink dot faded, it was re-done in exactly the same location to ensure visibility for subsequent photographs. For the MT, hair was clipped before each photograph; HC was based on hair follicles in the photographs. Change from BL=Week 24 value minus the BL value.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 24

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all randomized participants regardless of whether or not treatment was administered. Calculation was based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method for missing data. All participants for whom data were collected at both Baseline and Week 24 were assessed.

The primary target area HC was based on the nonvellus hair (\>=30 micrometers \[μm\] in width; thick and noticeable hair) count within a target 2.54 cm (1 inch) diameter circle at the vertex (crown, topmost part of the head). A cosmetic ink dot was placed by tattoo at BL so that the same area could be identified at BL and post-BL. If the ink dot faded, it was re-done in exactly the same location to ensure visibility for subsequent photographs. For the MT, hair was clipped before each photograph; HC was based on hair follicles in the photographs. Change from BL=Week 24 value minus the BL value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 24

Population: ITT Population. Calculation was based on the LOCF imputation method for missing data. All participants for whom data were collected at both Baseline and Week 24 were assessed.

A central panel of 3 dermatologists independently assessed change in hair growth from Baseline to Week 24 using a 7-point scale: greatly decreased (-3), moderately decreased (-2), slightly decreased (-1), no change (0), slightly increased (1), moderately increased (2), and greatly increased (3). The median score, across the 3 panel members, is summarized. This assessment was performed by comparing the global photographs obtained at Baseline with those subsequently obtained at Week 24. This assessment was made separately based on the global photography of the vertex and frontal views.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: ITT Population. Calculation was based on the LOCF imputation method for missing data. All participants for whom data were collected at both Baseline and Week 12 were assessed.

The IPAQ was completed by the Investigator or designee by comparing the global photographs obtained at Baseline with those obtained at Week 12. This assessment was made separately based on the global photography of the vertex and frontal views. The change from Baseline in hair growth was assessed using the following 7-point scale: -3 = greatly decreased, -2 = moderately decreased, -1 = slightly decreased, 0 = no change, +1 = slightly increased, +2 = moderately increased, +3 = greatly increased.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: ITT Population. Calculation was based on the LOCF imputation method for missing data. All participants for whom data were collected at both Baseline and Week 12 were assessed. The number of participants analyzed reflects the sum of the participants with the three BL stages.

The investigator/designee assessed the stage (Stage I to Stage VII) of AGA (i.e., male pattern baldness \[MPB\]) by utilizing the Norwood-Hamilton scale, used to measure the progression of MPB. Stage VII indicates worse balding than stage I. Assessment was made by direct visual examination (aided by pictures) of the participant at Baseline and Week 12 (W12). "v," vertex; most of the hair loss (commonly seen with advancing age) is on the vertex. "a," type a variant; major features are (1) the entire anterior hairline border recedes in unison; (2) there is no simultaneous balding of the vertex.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24

Population: ITT Population. Calculation was based on the LOCF imputation method for missing data. All participants for whom data were collected at Week 12 and Week 24 were assessed.

Participant-perceived change in HG was assessed by 3 questions (each scored on a 7-point scale) on a health outcome questionnaire: "Since the start of treatment, when I look at my thinning area, I can see...", "Since the start of treatment, my hair now covers…", and "Since the start of treatment, the appearance (thickness/quality/amount) of the thinning area on my head is…" -3, Much less; -2, Moderately less; -1, Slightly less; 0, The same amount; 1, Slightly more; 2, Moderately more; 3, Much more scalp. The scores for the 3 questions were summed to obtain the HGI total score (-9 to 9).

Participant satisfaction with hair appearance/growth was assessed by 5 questions (each scored on a 7-point scale: How satisfied do you feel about: \[1\] The overall appearance of your hair; \[2\] The appearance of the thinning area\[s\] \[TAs\] on your head; \[3\] The amount of scalp that can be seen in the TAs; \[4\] The amount of hair in the TAs; \[5\] The growth of hair in the TAs): -3, Very dissatisfied (DS); -2, DS; -1, Somewhat DS; 0, Neutral (neither satisfied nor DS); 1, Somewhat satisfied (SA); 2, SA; 3, Very SA. The scores for the 5 questions were summed to obtain the HGSS total score (-15 to 15).
