About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Topical KX-826 Solution in Chinese Male Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Vehicle Controlled Adaptive Design Phase 2/3 Study

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle controlled, adaptive design phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical KX-826 solution in Chinese male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It consisted of two phases, phase 2 dose exploration trial and phase 3 confirmatory trial.

Read the detailed description

In phase 2 study, around 90 adult male subjects with AGA (rating IIIv, IV and V on Hamilton-Norwood scale) were to be enrolled. All subjects would be evaluated with 1:1:1 randomized to receive KX-826 0.5% BID, KX-826 1.0% BID and vehicle in a double-blind fashion (30 subjects in each group), and would be treated for 24 weeks at the specified dose. During the study, the subjects would undergo periodic efficacy and safety-related examinations and evaluation. A Phase 2 statistical analysis will be performed when 90 patients complete the Week 24 visit or early withdrawal visit.

Blood samples will be collected at the following time points:

Day 1: 3 hours (pre-dose) W6 (Day 42): 3 hours (pre-dose) W12 (Day 84): 3 hours (pre-dose)

In phase 3 study, around 666 adult male subjects with AGA (rating IIIv, IV and V on Hamilton-Norwood scale) were to be enrolled. All subjects would be evaluated with 1:1:1 randomized to receive KX-826 0.5% BID, KX-826 1.0% BID and vehicle in a double-blind fashion (222 subjects in each group), and would be treated for 24 weeks at the specified dose. During the study, the subjects would undergo periodic efficacy and safety-related examinations and evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Target Area Non-vellus Hair count (TAHC) change from baseline at week 24 in comparison to vehicle.

    Changes from baseline in non-vellus TAHC (Target Area Hair Counts) in comparison to vehicle (Non-vellus TAHC is the number of non-vellus hairs within 1 cm² scalp, which usually ranges from 0 to 300. Larger non-vellus TAHC implies thicker hair. In this study, larger change in non-vellus TAHC means better outcome.)

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Hair Growth Assessment (HGA)

    Changes from baseline HGA (Hair Growth Assessment) score by Principal Investigator and subjects (HGA scale ranged from -3 to 3 and represented decreases from baseline that were substantial, moderate, slight, no change, slight increases, moderate increases, and substantial increases, respectively. HGA improvement was defined as a hair growth assessment score of larger than 0.)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24 weeks

  2. Target Area Non-vellus Hair diameter (TAHW) assessment

    Target Area Non-vellus Hair diameter (TAHW) change from baseline at week 6, 12, 18, and 24 in comparison to vehicle

    Measured: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24 weeks

  3. Target Area total hair counts

    Target Area total hair counts change from baseline at week 6, 12, 18, and 24 in comparison to vehicle

    Measured: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24 weeks

  4. TAHC assessment

    Changes from baseline in non-vellus TAHC (Target Area Hair Counts) in comparison to vehicle (Non-vellus TAHC is the number of non-vellus hairs within 1 cm² scalp, which usually ranges from 0 to 300. Larger non-vellus TAHC implies thicker hair. In this study, larger change in non-vellus TAHC means better outcome.)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing KX-826 0.5% BID and KX-826 1.0% BID in people with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA), run by Suzhou Kintor Pharmaceutical Inc, at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 41 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2024. 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 China. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Xiaoyan Ni (+86 15050402391, xyni@kintor.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Target Area Non-vellus Hair count (TAHC) change from baseline at week 24 in comparison to vehicle. (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 21 Oct 2024.
