Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was comparative prospective study conducted on 40 subjects, diagnosed with alopecia areata of 40 the scalp, carried in a period from February 2020 and March 2021

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Alopecia areata is a common recurrent T cell-mediated autoimmune-induced non-scarring hair loss with not fully understood pathogenesis which affects nearly 2% of the general population during lifetime. The course of the disease is unpredictable and currently, no treatment is available for complete cure or prevention. Platelet-rich plasma is an autologous blood-derived product which widely spread in the last decades for the treatment of different dermatological conditions including different hair disorders.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of activated platelet-rich plasma in comparison to non-activated platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of alopecia areata.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The 40 patients with alopecia areata will be divided into 2 groups:

Group A: 20 patients will be treated by activated PRP with Calcium chloride (CaCl2). Those patients will be treated with an intradermal injection.

Group B: 20 patients will be treated by non-activated PRP through intradermal injection

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Activated plasma rich in platelets

Group A: patients were treated by intradermal injections of PRP activated with Calcium chloride 10% solution.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intradermal injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets.

Non- activated plasma rich in platelets

Group B: patients were treated by intradermal injections of PRP without activation.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intradermal injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets.
