Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female volunteers 18 to 65 years old, inclusive
  • Hair loss consistent with ≥ Grade III-Vertex, IV, VA, V, and VI, based on Norwood-Hamilton Scale providing there is bridging of hair in the anterior edge of the vertex circle.
  • Have no clinically significant disease or abnormal laboratory results taken at the screening visit.
  • Agree to abstain from use of any hair growth affecting oral or topical medication including over the counter and herbal medications, minoxidil, finasteride or dutasteride during the course of this study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known sensitivity to DMEM/F-12 or any component of the study material.
  • Known hypersensitivity to clindamycin hydrochloride, amphotericin B or streptomycin sulfate.
  • Subjects who have used minoxidil, or any oral or topical medication including over the counter and herbal medications for the treatment of hair loss within 6 months of study screening, or finasteride or dutasteride within 12 months of study screening.
  • A history of drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year of study enrollment.
  • Clinically significant medical or psychiatric illness currently or within 30 days of study screening as determined by the investigator.
  • Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory parameters.
  • A positive result at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1 or 2), Hepatitis B or C, HTLV I/II.
  • Dermatologic condition in donation or study areas.
  • Prior surgery in the treatment area.
  • Insufficient hair or scarring in the donor area that might impact cell growth.
  • Any disease or condition (medical or surgical) that, in the opinion of the investigator, might compromise hematologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, or central nervous system function; or any condition that would place the subject at increased risk.

Treatment and study plan

Autologous cultured dermal and epidermal cells

Biological

A piece of occipital scalp, plucked of hairs prior to excision, is taken from the subject. The epidermal and dermal cells from this tissue are expanded in culture. The cells are then harvested and, for certain types of product, combined. The cells are then injected into the balding area of the scalp of the original subject.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in hair number

    Time frame: 51 weeks post-injection

  2. Change from baseline in hair width

    Time frame: 51 weeks post-injection

  3. Time course of any treatment benefit

    Time frame: 51 weeks post-injection
