Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Evaluating the Effects of Dietary Supplement on Hair Thickness and Hair Strength in Individuals With Self-Perceived Thinning Hair (NCT NCT06605768)

NCT ID: NCT06605768

Last Updated: 2026-02-03

Results Overview

Hair shedding was assessed by trichoscopic evaluation of the target scalp area. The endpoint reflects the proportion of participants meeting the criterion of 1-2 shed hairs per follicular unit at the specified time point.

Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at a single outpatient research center (ADONIS Plus, Kyiv, Ukraine). Enrollment began on 19 Feb 2024 (first informed consent). Participants attended a site screening visit and, if eligible, were randomized and assigned to supplement or placebo. Study procedures continued through 12 Jul 2024 (last study procedure).

None. After completion of screening assessments, eligible participants were randomized and assigned to supplement or placebo on the same day (no washout or run-in period).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 Days

Signs of inflammation were assessed by trichoscopic evaluation of the scalp and superficial vessels in the target area. The endpoint reflects the proportion of participants with trichoscopic signs consistent with inflammatory processes (scalp inflammation and/or vascular changes) at the specified time point.
