Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Dean scale score | After 6 months of intervention | The Dean scale measures hair loss along a 4-grade scale. Grade 1 = \<25% hair loss. Grade 2= 25-50% hair loss. Grade 3=50-75% hair loss. Grade 4 = \>75% hair loss. Success will be defined as Dean scale score of 1 or 0. This will be based on clinical photographs taken at the initial and 6-month visits and scored by two board-certified dermatologists. Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups, including the proportion of patients with a Dean score of 1 or 0 at 6 months. |
| Secondary | Change in Dean scale score | From baseline to 2, 4, and 12 months | The Dean scale measures hair loss along a 4-grade scale. Grade 1 = \<25% hair loss. Grade 2= 25-50% hair loss. Grade 3=50-75% hair loss. Grade 4 = \>75% hair loss.Will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups. |
| Secondary | Change in trichoscopic hair density | From baseline to 2, 4, 6, and 12 months | Measures of hair density will be taken via trichoscopic photography by use of the HairMetrix device. Density measurements will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups. |
| Secondary | Change in Chemotherapy Alopecia Distress Scale (CADS) | From baseline to 2, 4, 6, and 12 months | CADS is a 17-item tool that measures hair loss distress. Each question uses a 4-point likert scale (0-3), and total scores range from 0-51 with higher scores indicating greater hair loss distress. Longitudinal mixed effects linear and generalized linear or logistic models will be used with improvement from baseline as the outcome at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months. Randomization group, time point, and their interaction will be used as fixed effects, and a subject random effect will be used to account for within-subject correlation of outcomes. For CADS, baseline score will also be included as a fixed effect. TWill be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups. |
| Secondary | Change in patient reported outcomes (hair loss survey) | From baseline to 2, 4, 6, and 12 months | Participants will be asked four questions about symptoms related to hair loss over the last week. Each question is scored on a scale with possible answers ranging from 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine). Will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups. |
| Secondary | Change in patient reported outcomes (feelings survey) | From baseline to 2, 4, 6, and 12 months | Participants will be asked four questions about their general feelings over the last week. Each question is scored on a scale with possible answers ranging from 0 (as bad as it can be) to 10 (as good as it can be). Will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). Will construct two-sided 95% confidence intervals for improvement from baseline and differences between randomized groups. |
| Secondary | Differences in patient satisfaction (feasibility) | At 2, 4, and 6 months | Differences in patient satisfaction will be used to determine differences in feasibility between the two treatment arms. Participants will be asked five questions about their satisfaction with hair changes and study treatment over the last two months. Each question will be scored on a scale ranging from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (as satisfied as I can be). Will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). |
| Secondary | Compliance | At 2, 4, and 6 months | Differences in medication administration logs will be used to determine differences in compliance between the two treatment arms. For the topical minoxidil group, the proportions of days medication was applied will be reported. For the low-level red-light therapy + minoxidil group, the proportions of days minoxidil was applied as well as the proportions of weeks that the low-level red-light therapy was used will be reported. Will be reported by treatment group using summary statistics (mean and standard deviation, median and quartiles, or count and percentage, as appropriate). |
