تقييم فعالية وسلامة المينوكسيديل الفموي بجرعة 1 ملغ في علاج الصلع الوراثي لدى النساء
This study wants to find out if taking a 1mg minoxidil tablet every day is a safe and effective way to treat a common type of female hair loss called androgenetic alopecia. Researchers will compare this tablet to a 2% minoxidil solution that you put on your skin, and also to a dummy tablet or cream (a placebo) that contains no active medicine. The main goals are to see if the tablet works as well as the skin solution, or even better than the dummy treatment, and to make sure it's safe for patients. The study lasts about 36 weeks and involves different groups getting various combinations of these treatments.

ما هو موضوع هذه الدراسة؟
This study is about a type of hair loss common in women, called androgenetic alopecia. It's often linked to hormones. Researchers want to see if a daily 1mg tablet of minoxidil can help grow hair and make it thicker. Minoxidil is already used in a solution you put on your scalp, and this study aims to find out if a tablet form is just as helpful, or even more so, for this kind of hair loss.
To do this, the study will compare a daily minoxidil tablet against two other treatments. One is the familiar 2% minoxidil solution applied to the skin. The other is a "placebo," which looks exactly like the real medicine but has no active ingredients. This helps researchers understand if any changes are truly due to the minoxidil or something else.
Ultimately, the main goal is to understand if the minoxidil tablet is both effective and safe for women with this type of hair loss. The study is a "Phase III" trial, which means it's a larger study designed to confirm the results of earlier, smaller studies before a new treatment can be considered for wider use.

من قد يكون مؤهلاً؟
This study is looking for women aged 18 or older who are generally healthy. You would need to have been diagnosed with female androgenetic alopecia, which means a noticeable thinning of hair, particularly on the top and crown of your head, as described by a specific hair loss scale.
It's important that you don't have any serious health problems, especially heart conditions, or any skin conditions on your scalp that might interfere with the study. If you could become pregnant, you'll need to have negative pregnancy tests and agree to use highly effective birth control throughout the study and for a short time afterwards. Also, your hair colour needs to stand out enough against your scalp for photos to be taken easily.
Finally, you should be willing to keep your hairstyle and hair care routine the same during the study, as well as your body hair removal habits. You'd also need to attend all scheduled appointments and follow the study instructions carefully.

ماذا يتضمن المشاركة؟
If you join this study, it will last up to 36 weeks (about 8 to 9 months). You'll be randomly placed into one of three groups. One group will take the minoxidil tablet and use a dummy skin solution. A second group will take a dummy tablet and use the 2% minoxidil skin solution. The third group will take a dummy tablet and use a dummy skin solution.
You'll visit the study centre 5 times during this period for check-ups and observations. There will also be 2 phone calls. At your visits, doctors will take photos of your hair to check for growth, measure your blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature. You'll also have a general health check, blood tests, urine tests, and an ECG (heart tracing). They will also look for any unwanted hair growth on your body. You'll be asked daily to record any side effects, new medications, or procedures. If you could become pregnant, you'll have regular pregnancy tests.
