About this study

Official title: Demonstration of the Presence of Carbonyl Stress in the Hair Follicles of Women With Reactive Hair Loss

In this study, the investigator will try to highlight the presence of carbonyl compounds in the hair follicles of women with telogen effluvium (ET) linked to stress of various origins (fatigue, infectious diseases, emotional stress ...).

Read the detailed description

At the cutaneous level, oxidative stress induces the formation of carbonyl compounds which, by binding to proteins, produce nonfunctional adducts inducing cutaneous aging. Is this mechanism, called "Carbonyl stress", also present in the scalp and can it be one of the mechanisms involved in the occurrence of reactive hair loss ? To demonstrate this, samples of hair follicles are made. The proteins are extracted from the samples and then assayed. The oxidized (carbonyl) proteins are labeled with specific fluorescent probes.

Being tested
Hair follicles sampling

What participants receive

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

  • Hair follicles samplingOther

    The follicles will be collected by lock of 10 hair on the scalp (centro-parietal part), to obtain 40 follicles with epithelial sheath

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hair follicles sampling in people with Effluvium; Telogen, run by Pierre Fabre Dermo Cosmetique at 6 sites in France.

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 19 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 21 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Biological evaluation (time frame: Visit 1- Day 1). 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 Jan 2020.
