What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CG 428 cutaneous solutionDrug

    The patient will spray treatment 10 times directly to the scalp area, with the cannula, and then gently massage the whole scalp with fingertips, twice a day, spaced out by minimum 4 hours

  • Placebo cutaneous solutionDrug

    The patient will spray treatment 10 times directly to the scalp area, with the cannula, and then gently massage the whole scalp with fingertips, twice a day, spaced out by minimum 4 hours

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of hair loss at different time points based of on Olsen's Visual Analog Scale (OVAS) and using the Severity of Alopecia Tool score (SALT score)

    Physical examination of the scalp: skin AEs, hair status (alopecia graded according to CTCAE v.4.03.)

    Measured: Every 3 to 8 weeks (variable). The following investigations will be performed every 3 to 4 weeks during the study treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of grade 2 alopecia according to CTCAE v. 4.03.

    CTCAE v. 4.03 : Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Event (skin toxicity)

    Measured: Every 3 weeks for 24 weeks.

  2. Time to reach grade 2 alopecia during chemotherapyaccording to CTCAE v. 4.03. .

    CTCAE v. 4.03 : Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Event (skin toxicity)

    Measured: Every 3 weeks for 24 weeks.

  3. Time to recover to grade 1 and grade 0 according to CTCAE v. 4.03 after the last dose of the selected chemotherapy

    CTCAE v. 4.03 : Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Event (skin toxicity)

    Measured: Every 3 weeks for 24 weeks.

  4. Percent of hair loss according to OVAS (Olsen's visual analog scale) at different time points after the end of the chemotherapy.

    Olsen's visual analog scale : visual aid for estimating percentage scalp hair loss.

    Measured: Every 3 to 8 weeks (variable). The following investigations will be performed every 3 to 4 weeks during the study treatment

  5. Adverse events based on the CTCAE 4.03.

    Measured: Every 3 to 8 weeks (variable). The following investigations will be performed every 3 to 4 weeks during the study treatment

  6. Patient's subjective assessment through questionnaire

    Measured: Every 3 weeks for 24 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CG 428 cutaneous solution in people with Alopecia, run by Legacy Healthcare SA at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of hair loss at different time points based of on Olsen's Visual Analog Scale (OVAS) and using the Severity of Alopecia Tool score (SALT score) (time frame: Every 3 to 8 weeks (variable). The following investigations will be performed every 3 to 4 weeks during the study treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2019.
