Conditions: Androgenic Alopecia
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 60
Healthy volunteers: yes

Brief summary:
The trial was a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 2 trial.

60 healthy bald male subjects diagnosed with alopecia, who are between 18 and 55 years old and provide written informed consent were eligible for inclusion.

The trial period consisted of a screening period of up to 3 weeks followed by 12 weeks of dosing, three times per week. Each subject received two doses of the five trial treatment doses (placebo, 0.00625, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100 μg respectively). The doses were given as intradermal injections. On each volunteer, two treatment areas were placed on the head and the two selected doses were allocated to the respective treatment areas according to the randomisation scheme. The treatment areas were selected on the border between the bald surface and the surface with hair.

The effect on hair growth was measured by the use of Trichoscan imaging and measuring method at week 8 and 12. A baseline measaure was taken at day 0.

Methodology: 
The trial is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 2 trial 
60 healthy bald male subjects diagnosed with androgenic alopecia (Norwood/Hamilton grade 
3V to 4/4a), who are between 18 and 55 years old and provide written informed consent will 
be eligible for inclusion. 
 
The trial period will consist of a screening period of up to 1 week followed by 12 weeks of 
dosing, three times per week. Each subject will receive two doses of the four trial treatment 
doses (0.00625, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100 μg respectively) and the placebo dose. On each 
volunteer, two treatment areas will be selected on the head and the two selected doses will 
be allocated to the respective treatment areas according to the randomisation scheme. The 
treatment areas will be selected on the border between the bald surface and the surface 
with hair.  
 
The subjects will be screened for eligibility at the screening visit where a physical examination 
and assessment of vital signs will be performed. Blood samples for safety and laboratory 
assessment will be taken. The subjects will return to the clinic for the inclusion visit (visit 1, 
day 1) 3 to 21 days later. If the subject is eligible for inclusion, the 2 treatment areas will be 
shaved and the centre of each treatment area where the trial treatments will be applied will 
be marked with a tattooed dot. 
At visit 2, day 5, the first trial treatment application will be performed after TrichoScan 
imaging of the treatment areas. Subjects will then return to the clinic for treatment 
application three times per week with at least one day in between.  
 
All subjects who have received at least one dose of trial drug will go through the procedures 
for safety and efficacy assessments at last visit (EOT, visit 38). 
 
All adverse events will be followed until resolved or stabilised. Procedures for removal of 
subjects from therapy or assessments are described in Section 8.7. 
 
Number of subjects: 
A total of 60 healthy male subjects will be included.  
Each subject will be treated at two sites. Each site will be treated with different 
treatments. 
Thus, a total of 120 treatment areas will be available for treatment on the 60 subjects 
 
Inclusion criteria: 
The subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible to enter the trial: 
1. Healthy male, aged 18-55 years 
2. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA)) – Norwood/Hamilton grade 3V to 4/4a [1]   
3. Caucasian, skin type I – IV according to Fitzpatrick’s classification [2] 
4. Willing to have treatment areas shaved for TrichoScan® measurement marked with 
small semi-permanent dot tattoos  
5. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits 
6. Willing to maintain the same hygiene products and skin cleansing habits during the 
trial period. 
7. Willing to continue to use the currently used shampoo throughout the course of the trial.

INTRODUCTION 
 
Background 
Hair follicle morphogenesis and growth is controlled by a complex network of sequential 
activation and inactivation of autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signalling pathways [3]. The 
regulation and molecules involved are not yet fully known. There are three phases of the hair 
cycle: a growth phase (anagen), a regression phase (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen). 
The duration of the phases depends on the type and localization of the hair follicle. For instance 
body hair follicles remain for a shorter period in anagen leading to shorter hair shaft length as 
compared to scalp hair follicles [4].  
Follicum AB develops peptides derived from human osteopontin with a focus on local 
application for modulation of hair growth. Osteopontin is a 32 kDa extracellular matrix 
glycoprotein with diverse immunomodulatory functions and has been associated with 
inflammation and fibrosis. Its synthesis is stimulated by calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxy- vitamin D3).  
Follicum’s initial finding was that a modified form of the glycoprotein osteopontin (OPN) induces 
hair growth in young mice, where the follicles are in telogen phase, after subcutaneous 
administration. There are reports on OPN to be present in hair follicles in a hair cycle 
dependant manner [5]. The first candidate drug is a synthetic peptide named FOL-005. This 
candidate peptide is comprised of 15 amino acids with a free N and C- terminal; the molecular 
weight is 1672 Da and the molecular formula C74H114N18O26. Except for hair growth promoting 
activity, it is considered that Follicum’s drug candidate FOL-005 does not possess any of 
osteopontin’s mentioned effects, as major functional parts of OPN have been deleted in the 
FOL-005 peptide.  
A possible link to the mode of action of FOL-005 could come from integrins. The modification 
of OPN was done in the region where the integrin binding sequence in OPN is located. The 
importance of a modified RGD sequence (specific 3 amino acid sequence in osteopontin) in 
hair growth may reveal an affinity to other receptors or other mechanisms than previously 
known. However, in Follicum’s compounds the RDG site is disrupted and the cryptic integrin-
binding site may become more active leading to a stronger interaction to these receptors. This 
may be the explanation for the better activity shown by the peptides compared to the full-length  
Trial Rationale 
In non-clinical in vivo studies in C57Bl/6 mice, treatment with low doses of FOL-005 showed 
significant anagen hair growth induction and complete hair growth was observed in almost all 
treated animals. 
Distribution of immune labelled FOL-005 and its binding properties has been studied in mice 
and human tissues. Subcutaneously injected FOL-005 was indicated to diffuse rapidly from 
the site of injection, and into deeper skin levels [6]. FOL-005 binding was mainly present in the 
Outer Root Sheet (ORS), being relatively dominating close to the base of the follicles, both in 
mice and human tissues [6, 7]. The strongest binding was detected in the anagen phase of 
hair growth. The FOL-005 peptide C-terminal and central amino-acid regions appears to be 
most important for its binding [7]. 
FOL-005 has been studied in a Phase I study in healthy male volunteers. FOL-005 was 
administered as intradermal injections in specified skin areas on the forefront of the thighs. 
After a single ascending dose phase, safety and efficacy was studied during 12 weeks in a 
multiple dose phase. In the multiple dose phase, four different doses of FOL-005 and 
placebo were injected 2 or 3 times weekly for 12 weeks.

A statistically significant up-regulation of hair growth with bell-shaped dose-response, with 
maximum effect at 0.025µg of FOL-005, was observed after twice or 3 times weekly 
administration for 12 weeks. No serious adverse events or other safety issues were 
recorded; FOL-005 was well tolerated [8].  
 
Potential Risks and Benefits 
No direct benefit is expected for subjects participating in early clinical trials. 
Preclinical toxicity studies have not shown any clinically visible changes or histological 
changes after subcutaneous injections to indicate any tolerability issue.  
In the First in Man (FIM) clinical trial, FOL-005 was well tolerated. No Serious Adverse Events 
were reported during the trial and no subject withdrew from treatment or had the treatment 
interrupted due to AEs. No severe AEs were reported. Local tolerability events, mostly 
assessed as procedure related, contributed to a majority of the reported events. These were 
almost exclusively of mild severity; only 2 injection site haematomas of moderate severity were 
reported.  
There were no differences in local AE frequency between doses, ranging from 0.005 to 0.500 
µg of FOL-005 or, between FOL-005 and placebo treatment. Neither were there any 
increases in frequency of AEs or in AE severity during treatment. In contrast, the frequency 
of reported local tolerance AEs decreased over time [8]. 
Considering the safety results in the FIM study, the foreseeable risks to the subjects of any 
FOL-005 related reactions are very low. 
The duration of trial FCS-002, will be identical to the FIM trial and the maximum dose (single 
doses as well as accumulated dose) will be lower than in the FIM trial. The application areas 
differ however between the trials; in the FIM trial administrations were performed on the 
thighs and in trial FCS-002 administrations will be performed on the scalp.  
The foreseeable risks of the subjects related to the trial procedures include allergic or 
hypersensitivity reactions to the tattoo or the disinfectants, and mild pain and local 
discomforts (e.g. haematoma) related to the intradermal injection of the peptide and blood 
samplings.  
The dot tattoos on the skin, which are required for high-level standardization, may cause 
transient local bleeding. Rarely, inflammation, injury or irritation of nerves occurs. The dye 
applied may cause sensitization e.g. contact eczema which occurs within hours or days after 
the application. The most common manifestations are pruritus, predominant oedema unlike 
typical eczema lesions (erythema associated with vesicles). This reaction progresses to a dry 
skin with desquamations and often requires the administration of a topical treatment. If 
tattoos do not fade within 3 months after trial end, the subject will be offered a free laser 
removal of the dot tattoo. 
The intradermal injection of the peptide as well as blood sampling may cause a short pain 
and mostly immediate local discomforts during the puncture. Occasionally a bruise may 
appear when a small amount of blood gets into the surrounding tissues. This normally 
disappears within a few days. Possible other side effects like thrombosis, infection, damage 
of nerves or surrounding tissues are very rare and almost negligible since only trained staff is 
involved in the trial.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
 
Trial Design and Plan-Description 
The trial is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 2 trial. 
The trial centres will screen a sufficient number of subjects (approximately n = 90) to include 
60 eligible male subjects. Subjects withdrawn for IMP-unrelated reasons will be replaced if 
treatment was performed for less than 4 weeks. 
60 healthy male subjects, who are 18 to 55 years old and provide written informed consent will 
be included 
The trial period will consist of a screening period of up to 3 weeks followed by 12 weeks of 
dosing. Each subject will receive their first doses at visit 2 (day 5). Subjects will then return to 
the clinic for treatment application 3 times per week with at least one day in between. 4 active 
dose strengths and one placebo dose will be used in the trial and each subject will be randomly 
assigned two of these 5 treatments. Thus, all 60 subjects will receive 2 doses.   
The subjects will be screened for eligibility at the screening visit where a physical examination 
and assessment of vital signs will be performed. Blood samples for HIV/Hep-b/Hep-c, safety 
and laboratory assessment will be taken. The subjects will return to the clinic for the inclusion 
visit (visit 1, day 1) 3 to 21 days later. If the subject is eligible for inclusion, the 2 treatment 
areas will be shaved and the centre of each treatment area where the trial treatments will be 
applied will be marked with a tattooed dot. 
At visit 2, day 3, the first TrichoScan imaging of dyed hair for determination of baseline total 
hair density per cm2 and the first trial treatment application will be performed on the treatment 
areas. Subjects will then return to the clinic for treatment application three times per week with 
at least one day in between.  
All subjects who have at least received one dose of trial drug will go through the procedures 
at the Follow up safety and efficacy assessments at the EoT visit. 
All adverse events will be followed until resolved or stabilised. Procedures for removal of 
subjects from therapy or assessments are described in Section 8.7. 
 
Trial Treatments 
50 μl of the trial treatments will be applied intradermally at each treatment site in the centre 
marked with a tattooed dot. The dilutions and preparation of vials will be performed at the 
centre, by blinded personnel. 
The trial treatments will consist of three times per week application of: 
• 
FOL-005 0.00625 μg solution, or 
• 
FOL-005 0.025 μg, or 
• 
FOL-005 0.050 μg, or 
• 
FOL-005 0.100 μg, or 
• 
FOL-005 placebo. 
Each subject will receive 2 trial treatments. The trial treatments will be randomised and a 
subject can receive any combination of the above 5 trial treatments except two of the same 
treatment.  The expected duration of participation in the trial will be maximum 87 days for each 
subject.

Discussion of Trial Design, Including the Choice of Control Groups 
A randomised controlled blinded design is used. Such a design is most suitable to prevent 
and/or to minimize selection, performance, attrition, and detection bias. 
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of FOL-005 on scalp hair growth in 
healthy male subjects.  
The TrichoScan is a reliable, well-validated phototrichogram method assessing the biological 
parameters of hair growth by combining dermoscopy with automatic digital image analysis for 
the measurement of human hair in situ. The TrichoScan system is designed to take 
reproducible images from shaved areas on the scalp. A good correlation between 
TrichoScan and manual evaluation of hair counts has been demonstrated [9, 10]. 
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated as secondary objectives. FOL-005 was considered 
safe and well tolerated in a previous phase 1 trial, FCS-001, as described in the 
investigator’s brochure.  
Each subject will have 2 treatment areas, A and B, evenly located on the scalp, at least 5 cm 
apart from each other. Treatment areas will be treated with either one of the following 
treatments: 0.00625 µg, 0.025 μg, 0.050 μg, 0.100 μg and placebo according to the 
randomisation schedule. 
 
Trial Period 
The trial is planned to start in January 2018 and be completed in June 2018. 
 
End of Trial 
The end of trial is defined as the date of the last subject’s last visit.

Subject Randomisation  
Subjects will be given a unique randomisation number at the first treatment visit (Visit 1). The 
randomisation number is a unique subject identifier used throughout the trial, in lieu of the 
subject’s name. 
 
Removal of Subjects from Therapy or Assessment 
Subjects are free to discontinue their participation in the trial at any time. Withdrawal from the 
trial will not affect or prejudice the subject’s further care or treatment. Subjects may be 
withdrawn from trial treatment and assessments at any time, if deemed necessary by the 
Investigator. 
Mandatory discontinuation criteria: 
• 
Withdrawn consent 
• 
Adverse events, which bring the subject at risk or might confound the result of the 
trial; 
• 
Occurrence of local intolerance according to specification in section 10.5 
• 
4 consecutive treatments and/or in total 7 missed treatments  
• 
Un-blinding

 Additional reasons that may result in withdrawal of subjects from this trial are:  
• 
Physicians' decision; 
• 
Start of medication in the subject which is susceptible to interfere with hair growth or 
with further study performance (e.g. 5a reductase inhibitor, anti-coagulative therapy, 
systemic immune suppression); 
• 
Any appearance of exclusion criteria during the trial; 
• 
Protocol deviations/violation; 
The reason and date the subject is withdrawn from the trial will be documented in the eCRF.

If a subject is withdrawn from further treatment with the IP, the investigator should attempt to 
complete the EoT visit. All adverse events should be followed up according to Section 11.2. 
If a subject is withdrawn from the trial, all data collected until the time of withdrawal will be used 
in the analyses. 
 
Premature Termination of the Trial 
The Investigator or the Sponsor may terminate this trial prematurely for any reasonable cause. 
In this case the Ethics Committee (EC) and Competent Authority (CA) should be informed 
promptly. 
Conditions that may warrant termination include, but are not limited to: 
• 
The discovery of an unexpected, significant, or unacceptable risk to the subjects 
enrolled in the trial, or potential trial subjects  
• 
A decision on the part of the Sponsor to suspend or discontinue development of the IP. 
If the CA obtains information that raises doubts about the safety or scientific validity of the 
clinical trial, the CA can suspend or prohibit the trial. Before the CA reaches its decision, it 
shall, except where there is imminent risk, ask the Sponsor and/or the investigator for their 
opinion, to be delivered within one week (Directive 2001/20/EC, Article 12, Section 1). 
If the trial is prematurely terminated or suspended for any reason, the investigator/institution 
should promptly inform the trial subjects and should assure appropriate therapy and follow-up 
for the subjects.

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS 
 
Investigational Products 
9.1.1 Treatment Regimens 
FOL-005 solution and placebo of FOL-005 solution will be administered at the trial centre. The 
solutions are intended for local intradermal injection into the skin. With each injection a volume 
of 50µl will be administered. The treatment areas will have a dot tattoo in the centre, edges will 
be drawn as dots with a skin marker, maximum once per week (Figure 2). 
Each subject will have 2 treatment areas, A and B, evenly located on the scalp, at least 5 cm 
apart from each other. Treatment areas will be treated with either of the following treatments: 
0.00625 µg, 0.025 μg, 0.050 μg, 0.100 μg and placebo according to the randomisation 
schedule. 
Figure 2 
Treatment areas 
 
 
Treatment areas will be on the balding scalp. Treatment sites have to be free of scars, 
tattoos or dermatological defects that might impair measurements. Treatment areas (1.5 cm 
diameter) are located on the scalp in the hair recession area of the frontotemporal and vertex 
regions and will be marked with a red dot tattoo in the middle, as depicted. Edges will be 
marked as dots using a skin temporary marker. 
To help relocate the tattoo dot the following distances should be documented: 
 
• 
R:  
Distance between the tattoo and the middle of the right tragus 
• 
L:  
Distance between the tattoo and the middle of the left tragus 
• 
N:  
Distance between the tattoo and the tip of the nose.

Instructions for Application 
Before clinical examination of the subject’s treatment areas and subsequent application of 
FOL-005, the treatment areas will be cleansed by the investigator or trial personnel using a 
standard skin disinfectant.  
The application of IP should be performed according to the following instructions: 
1. 
Inject 50 μl to the treatment area according to the subject’s specific randomisation list. 
Care should be taken to avoid injections at the very same spot on every visit. 
2. 
Discard injection device. 
3. 
Document injection. 
This procedure is repeated for each treatment area.  
9.1.2 Identity of Investigational Products 
The active ingredient, FOL-005, is a chemically synthesised 15 amino acid peptide, which is 
based on an endogenous part of osteopontin. The sequence is H-Val-Asp-Thr-Tyr-Asp-Gly-
Asp-Ile-Ser-Val-Val-Tyr-Gly- Leu-Arg. Each vial of the IP FOL-005, solution for injection 
contains 9 mL, 10 µg/mL of FOL-005. It further contains sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen 
phosphate, hydrogen chloride, sodium hydroxide and purified water. The placebo product 
contains diluent only and is identical in appearance to the active product. 
9.1.3 Packaging and Labelling of Investigational Products 
FOL-005, 10 µg/mL solution for injection, is manufactured and released for the trial by 
Recipharm Pharmaceutical Development AB, Solna, Sweden.  
All manufacturing is performed in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practice 
(cGMP). 
The labelling of FOL-005, solution for injection, the diluent and the dilution vials will be 
according to §5, GCP-V.  
9.1.4 Storage and Handling of Investigational Products 
The FOL-005 solution for injection must be stored in a freezer at a temperature of <-20°C. 
The temperature of the freezer will be logged.

The IP will be stored at the trial site as required by local regulations and laws for the 
participating site.  
The IP, FOL-005, solution for injection will be thawed and reconstituted by dilution with isotonic 
phosphate buffer pH 7.4 into the following concentrations: 0.125, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 µg/mL, as 
described in the study specific IP dilution manual. A schematic overview of the IMP dilution 
manual is found in Appendix 1. The handling of placebo is also described in the study specific 
dilution manual. Lab personnel not otherwise involved in assessment procedures will handle 
the preparation of vials.  
 
Method of Assigning Treatment areas 
Two of the 5 investigational treatments will be randomly assigned to the 2 treatment areas 1 
and 2 according to the randomisation list for each subject. The treatment areas 1 and 2 will 
receive the same treatment throughout the trial period. 
 
Selection of Doses in the Trial 
The rationale for the choice of dose in the present trial is based on previous results from the 
phase I/IIa trial FCS-001  
In FCS-001 the subjects were dosed twice or three times per week at four individual areas of 
the thighs with injections of 50 µL resulting in 0.005 to 0.250 µg of FOL-005. The maximum 
efficacy measured both as increase in hair density as well as in percentage of responders, 
was found at 0.025 µg and the effect was more prominent after three administration times 
per week as compared to two times per week. FOL-005 was well tolerated at all tested doses 
and local tolerability AEs due to the injection procedure contributed to the majority of the 
reported events. Moreover, there was no detectable systemic absorption of FOL-005 at 
either of the doses.  
In the present study 50 µL of FOL-005 will be injected into two separate areas on the scalp. 
The scalp has a higher density of hair follicles than the thighs and the hair cycle intervals 
generally have a longer duration on the head, Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the hair 
follicle on the scalp responds different to FOL-005 than hair follicles on the thighs The doses 
strengths in the present trial have therefore been selected to cover a range below and over 
the optimal dose strength identified in FCS-001, i.e. 0.025 µg. The selected doses are 
0.00625, 0.025, 0.050 and 0.10 µg and each subject will receive different doses at the two 
separate areas, or one dose and placebo. The total maximal dose given to one individual 
subject in this trial - 0.150 µg for the subjects receiving the 0.050 and 0.100 µg doses - is well 
below the maximum dose given in the previous trial where each subject received four active 
doses, a total of 0.405 µg at each occasion.  
Based on clinical safety data from the previous study and the selection of doses in the 
present study, it is assumed that this design provides a minimized potential risk and a high 
probability to estimate possible effects of FOL-005. 
 
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject 
The dose regime in the study, 3 times per week, is selected based on the results in the 
phase I/IIa trial FCS-001 where the subjects were treated 2 or 3 times per week. The efficacy 
measured both as increase in hair density as well as in percentage of responders, was more 
prominent after administration three times per week as compared to two times per week. 
FOL-005 was well tolerated at all tested doses and there was no detectable systemic 
absorption of FOL-005 at either of the dosing regimens. Injection related AEs such as 
haematomas and erythema, were more frequent in the group treated 3 times per week as

compared to the group treated 2 times. This is considered to be a result of the injection 
procedure and not the active ingredient. No increase in systemic AEs was found with the 
more frequent dosing.  
 
Detailed descriptions of the treatment regimen and instructions for application of the IP are 
given in Section 9.1.1. 
Restrictions to follow during the treatment period are described in Section 9.8.1.  
 
Blinding  
This trial will be double-blinded, meaning that neither the subject nor the Investigator will know 
which treatment areas will receive which treatment (actives or placebo). The appearance of 
the IP does not differ between the placebo and the active treatments. 
The treatment of the subject’s treatment areas will be randomised as described in Section 9.2 
and the subjects will receive a subject and random number. . 
In order to ensure the double blindness in the trial, dilution of the IP will be done according to 
the Study Specific Laboratory Manual (see Appendix 1), by persons not otherwise involved in 
the trial. 
 
Randomisation  
Each randomised subject will be treated with 2 of the 5 trial treatments on the two treatment 
areas on the scalp. The two treatment areas (1 and 2) will be symmetrical placed on the scalp 
(see figure 2)  
Thus, the subject will be randomised to receive any of the following 10 treatment combinations: 
A: 
• 
FOL-005 placebo: 
• 
FOL-005 0.00625 μg: 
B

Each of these 10 combinations may be allocated in two ways: First treatment on area 1 and 
second treatment on area 2 or vice visa. 
The total allocation ratio of treatments will be 5:5:5:5:4 where 4 depicts placebo. 
In general, computer generated randomisation lists will be created containing one 
randomisation scheme per subject.  
Upon signature of informed consent (screening period) each subject receives a 5-digit patient 
identification number, which is composed of: 
Digits 1 and 2: 
trial center (01, 02, 03, etc.)  
Digits 3, 4 and 5: 
individual screening number within the center (consecutively in the 
order of screening within the center: 001, 002, etc.)  
Subjects who are eligible for enrollment into the trial will obtain a random number (501, 502, 
503, etc.) The random number will not be reused if a subject discontinues the trial. 
Subjects discontinued from the trial for IMP-unrelated reasons with treatment for less than 4 
weeks will be replaced (see section 7.1). The replacement subject will receive the same 
treatments as the discontinued subject. The original randomization number will be replaced by 
a new randomization number generated by the last two digits of the original number preceded 
by 6 (e.g. original random number is 553; replacement random number is 653).  
In order to further avoid bias of the results, the trial biostatistician will also be blinded and the 
preparation of the randomisation lists and envelopes are therefore performed by psy consult 
scientific services, Frankfurt, Germany, not directly involved in the study.  
 
Breaking the Randomisation Code 
9.7.1 Un-blinding of Individual Subject Treatment 
The trial sites will receive sealed envelopes containing a list of individual treatment codes. The 
envelopes will be kept by unblinded staff members at the trial site.  
The unblinded staff will keep the envelopes in a secure, limited access location to prevent 
inadvertent breaking of the blind of the investigator. The double blindness must be maintained 
throughout the trial.  
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) will be unblinded for reporting to 
regulatory agencies and ethics committees. The pharmacovigilance team at FGK Clinical 
Research GmbH, Munich, Germany will be supplied with sealed envelopes of the 
randomization list to break the trial blind as required for regulatory reporting purposes. 
However, the investigator, sponsor, and blinded trial team will be kept blinded to treatment 
allocation. The information with regards to unblinding will be stored in a secure environment 
accessible only to pharmacovigilance team. 
If the code has been broken for a subject, the subject will be withdrawn from the trial and 
procedures accompanying withdrawal are to be performed.

Prior and Concomitant Therapy 
The use of prior medication used up to 4 weeks before study start and all concomitant 
medication (including Over the Counter and herbal medicines) by the subject will be recorded 
in the appropriate section of the eCRF up to the End of Trial Visit. 
Medication, which is considered necessary for the subject’s safety and well-being, may be 
given at the discretion of the Investigator. However, concomitant medication administered 
during the trial may lead to withdrawal of the subject from the trial (see Section 8.7) or 
subsequent exclusion form the PP analysis population if considered to be compromising the 
trial outcome. 
9.8.1 Disallowed Concomitant Therapy and Procedures 
The following treatments and/or procedures are prohibited during the trial: 
• 
Prolonged UV exposition and UV tanning beds; subjects are advised to wear 
hats/caps while outside 
• 
Sauna will not be permitted during the trial 
• 
Use of any topical drug on the treatment area(s) except for subject’s usual shampoo 
and hair care/cosmetic products as long as they do not claim to increase hair growth 
• 
Use of any washes using alcohol, vinegar or other astringents, including peeling 
agents on the treatment areas 
• 
Hair removal on skin treatment areas, e.g. waxing and shaving 
 
The following should be avoided during the trial: 
• 
More than once per day bathing/swimming 
• 
Normal washing/showering of the head / scalp is allowed but a 2 hour free interval 
before or after injection should be respected 
 
Treatment Compliance 
Application of IP in the treatment areas will be performed only at the trial centre by qualified 
medical staff of the trial team. Compliance of the subject regarding concomitant therapies and 
the use of cosmetics in the treatment areas will be documented throughout the trial. 
 Drug Accountability 
All IP supplied for this trial must be stored in a secure place. The Investigator or designated 
personnel at the trial site will keep a record of the inventory and dispensing of all IP. The 
Investigator is responsible for the drug accountability. 
The monitor will perform a final drug accountability at the site before the used IP can be 
destroyed or shipped back to Sponsor (unused IP). 
Study drug accountability, i.e., documentation of delivery, inventory, and return of IP will be 
maintained. Forms for documentation of the dilution procedures will be provided with the study 
specific IMP dilution manual.

in temporarily or permanently stopping of further administration of trial treatment or if it is 
stopped at the request of the subject. 
The outcome will have to be followed until resolution, steady state or until evidence that the 
investigational products and/or the subject’s participation in the trial are not responsible for 
the event.

11 ADVERSE EVENTS 
 Definitions 
11.1.1 Adverse Event 
Any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical trial subject administered a medicinal 
product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. 
Comment: An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an 
investigational medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the investigational 
medicinal product. 
11.1.2 Adverse Reaction 
All untoward and unintended responses to an investigational medicinal product related to any 
dose administered. 
Comment: All AEs judged by either the reporting Investigator or the Sponsor as having a 
reasonable causal relationship to a medicinal product qualify as adverse reactions. The 
expression reasonable causal relationship means to convey in general that there is evidence 
or argument to suggest a causal relationship. 
11.1.3 Unexpected Adverse Reaction 
An adverse reaction, the nature or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable 
product information (e.g. IB for an unauthorised IP or summary of product characteristics for 
an authorised product). 
Comment: When the outcome of the adverse reaction is not consistent with the applicable 
product information this adverse reaction should be considered as unexpected. 
11.1.4 Serious Adverse Event 
Any untoward medicinal occurrence or effect that at any dose: 
• 
Results in death 
• 
Is life-threatening 
• 
Requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation 
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity 
• 
Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect 
• 
May not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may 
jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other 
outcomes listed in the definition above. 
 
Comments: Life-threatening in the definition of an SAE or serious adverse reaction refers to 
an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of event; it does not refer to an 
event which hypothetically might have caused death if it was more severe. 
Medical judgement should be exercised in deciding whether an AE/reaction is serious in other 
situations. Important AEs/reactions that are not immediately life-threatening or do not result in 
death or hospitalisation but may jeopardise the subject or may require intervention to prevent 
one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above, should also be considered serious.

 Reporting of Adverse Events 
All trial subjects will be carefully monitored for the occurrence of AEs during the trial period, 
from intake of the first dose of IP until the last dose of IP for each subject. Previously reported 
AEs will be followed up and assessed as “recovered” or “not recovered”. The Investigator will 
collect AEs with a non-leading question such as “have you experienced any new health 
problems or worsening of existing conditions” as well as reporting events directly observed or 
spontaneously volunteered by subjects. 
Clearly related signs, symptoms and abnormal diagnostic procedure results should be grouped 
together and reported as a single diagnosis or syndrome whenever possible. 
All AEs including but not limited to events reported by the subject, or reported in answer to an 
open question by the Investigator or member of this team, which fall into any of the above 
definitions must be recorded as an AE in the source data and the eCRF and should include 
the following information: 
• 
Brief description of the event (diagnosis) 
• 
Start date (and time, if relevant) 
• 
Stop date (and time, if relevant) (or resolution) 
• 
Severity 
• 
Action taken regarding trial treatment 
• 
Opinion on causality 
• 
Seriousness 
• 
Outcome 
Severity 
Severity describes the intensity of an event, and will be assessed as: 
Mild 
The AE does not interfere in a significant manner with the subject’s normal functioning level. It 
may be an annoyance. 
Moderate 
The AE produces some impairment of function but not hazardous to health. It is uncomfortable 
and/or an embarrassment. 
Severe 
The AE produces significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation and/or it is a hazard 
to the subject. 
If an AE changes in severity, the worst severity should be reported. 
Causality 
Causality will be assessed as: 
Probable 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable time sequence to 
administration of the drug, unlikely to be attributed to concurrent disease or other drugs or

chemicals, and which follows a clinically reasonable response on withdrawal (de-challenge). 
Re-challenge information is not required to fulfil this definition. 
Possible 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable time sequence to 
administration of the drug, but which could also be explained by concurrent disease or other 
drugs or chemicals. Information on drug withdrawal may be lacking or unclear. 
Unlikely 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a temporal relationship to drug 
administration which makes a causal relationship improbable, and in which other drugs, 
chemicals or underlying disease provide plausible explanations. 
Follow-up of Subjects after Adverse Events 
Ongoing AEs will not be followed after the date of trial termination for a subject, unless the 
Investigator assesses the AE as relevant to follow from a trial perspective. The date when the 
Investigator considers one of these outcomes to have occurred for the last ongoing AE for a 
subject will be considered the last visit for this subject, and the outcome should be recorded in 
the source data and the eCRF. 
Abnormal Laboratory Values/Vital Signs 
An asymptomatic abnormal laboratory/vital sign finding should only be reported as an AE if it 
is clinically significant, if it fulfils the criteria for an SAE or if it causes the subject to discontinue 
the trial. 
Clinically significant abnormal findings at Visit 1 will be recorded in the source data and on the 
medical and surgical history page in the eCRF. New or worsening clinically significant 
abnormal findings at all Visits will be recorded in the source data and on the AE page in the 
eCRF. 
If an abnormal laboratory/vital sign value is associated with clinical signs and symptoms, the 
sign/symptom should be reported as an AE and the associated laboratory/vital sign result 
should be considered additional information. 
 Reporting of Serious Adverse Events 
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that all SAEs are reported immediately, by e-mail 
(preferred) or fax, but in any case no later than 24 hours of any site staff becoming aware of 
the event.  
Initial notification should be followed as soon as possible by detailed written reports. The initial 
and follow-up reports should identify subjects by unique code numbers assigned in the trial 
and not by the subjects’ names, personal identification numbers, and/or addresses. The 
following information is mandatory for the initial report: 
• 
Subject trial identification data (ID) 
• 
Trial treatment (blinded, if applicable) 
• 
Start date (time, if relevant) of the trial treatment 
• 
Brief description of the event (diagnosis) 
•

12 STATISTICAL METHODS AND DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE 
 Statistical and Analytical Plans 
Before unblinding the trial data, a separate statistical analysis plan (SAP), may be prepared. 
12.1.1 Data Sets to be Analysed 
The subject population sets are defined as follows: 
Safety analysis set (SAS): All randomised subjects who received at least 1 dose of IP. 
Subjects will be analysed according to actual treatment received. 
Full analysis set (FAS): All correctly included (i.e. fulfilling all the entry criteria) and 
randomised subjects with at least one post baseline measurement of the primary efficacy 
variable and having received at least one dose of the study medication. Subjects will be 
analysed according to the randomised treatment irrespective of actual treatment received.  
Per-protocol set (PPS): All subjects included in the FAS and who have: 
• 
taken the correct treatment throughout the trial (single treatment errors will be 
evaluated individually prior to un-blinding) 
• 
no major protocol violations that could interfere with the objectives of this trial. 
 
Further exclusion of subjects and/or subject data will be decided upon during the blind review 
of the data, focusing on concomitant medication and also considering compliance.  
The decisions regarding inclusion/exclusion of subjects and/or subject data from the trial 
analysis sets will be documented (on an individual level) at the clean file meeting before 
breaking the randomisation code. 
Safety summaries will be performed on the safety analysis set. The safety analysis set will be 
considered the primary analysis population for the safety variables. 
The PPS will be considered the primary efficacy subset of subjects. The FAS will be used for 
a sensitivity analysis of the primary efficacy variable only. 
12.1.2 Definitions 
Baseline 
A baseline measurement refers to the last non-missing assessment made 
before the first administration of IP (at the screening and baseline visit). This is 
valid where a change from baseline is derived. 
12.1.3 Statistical Issues 
Handling of dropouts and missing data 
Outliers will be included in summary tables and listings, and will not be handled separately. If 
a subject is withdrawn from the trial, all data collected until the time of withdrawal will be used 
in the analyses. Missing data will not be imputed. 
Level of significance, multiple comparisons and multiplicity 
Since this is an exploratory trial no formal hypotheses are postulated. Comparisons by means 
of p-values will be interpreted in a descriptive manner, nominal p-values and confidence 
intervals will be presented.

12.1.4 Summary Statistics 
Data will be summarised by means of summary statistics. Continuous data will be presented 
with the number of observations, mean value, standard deviation, minimum median and 
maximum value. Categorical data will be presented as counts and percentages. The data will 
be presented for each dose level. 
Descriptive summaries by study center will be presented for the primary efficacy endpoint only. 
12.1.5 Efficacy Analyses 
The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate the hair density (No. of hairs per cm2) on the 
scalp after 12 weeks of treatment as compared to baseline. The relative change will be used, 
i.e. after 12 weeks of − Baseline 
The hypothesis that the relative change from baseline is equal to zero will be analysed using 
the exact Wilcoxon signed rank test. 
The secondary efficacy objectives will be analysed using the same methodology as in the 
analysis of the primary efficacy objective. 
 
12.1.6 Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics 
Demographic and other baseline data will be presented using summary statistics. 
12.1.7 Exposure to Treatment 
Exposure to treatment (number of injections divided by planned number of injections) with IP 
will be presented using summary statistics for each dose. 
12.1.8 Prior and Concomitant Treatment 
Prior and Concomitant medication will be summarised as number of subjects being treated 
with each type of medication/therapy classified according to Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical 
(ATC) level 3 and World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary preferred term.  
12.1.9 Adverse Events 
AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and 
tabulated by system organ class (SOC) and by preferred term.  
The total number of subjects with at least 1 AE, at least one treatment emergent AE (TEAE) 
and the total number of AEs and TEAEs will be presented. 
The number of subjects, percentage and the number of TEAEs will be tabulated by SOC and 
by preferred term. TEAEs will also be tabulated by severity and by relationship to treatment. 
In this table, subjects with TEAEs will be counted only once within a SOC or a preferred term 
by using the event with the worst severity or the closest causal relationship, respectively, within 
each category. AEs due to local tolerance issues will be presented by dose administered to 
the respective treatment areas. 
12.1.10 
Medical History 
All previous and concomitant diseases will be coded with MedDRA.

Other Safety Assessments 
Physical Examination 
Physical examination will be presented in a shift table. The shift table will show the number of 
subjects who changed (compared to visit 1) from “normal” or “abnormal” at baseline to “normal” 
or “abnormal” at each time of assessment. 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs will be summarised by treatment combination, together with changes from baseline, 
by visit. 
Laboratory Safety Assessments 
For laboratory data, summary statistics will be produced for observed values and for changes 
from baseline to each visit. In addition, the number of abnormal and clinically significant 
observations will be tabulated for each treatment combination by visit. Abnormal values will be 
flagged in listings.  
Shift tables will show the number of subjects who changed from below, within or above the 
reference range at baseline to below, within or above the reference range at each time of 
assessment.  
For laboratory values which are below the limit of quantification, the value corresponding to 
the limit of quantification will be used when summarising data (e.g. if the result is <x.x then the 
value x.x will be used in the statistical analysis). 
Local Tolerance Assessments 
Local tolerance assessments will be summarised by dose administered to the respective 
treatment areas. 
 Determination of Sample Size 
The change from baseline until end of the treatment period (delta) is the primary efficacy 
endpoint and the base for the sample size estimation. 
The expected standard deviation for delta is 23.0 based on data published by Olsen EA et. al 
[12]. The expected change in hair density from baseline is 8 % which is 13.6 hairs/cm2 
assuming the baseline hair density is 170 hairs/cm2. 
Using a statistical power of 80 % and a two-sided significance level on 5 % the number of 
fully evaluable subject on the dose of interest is 23. Assuming a dropout rate of 10 % results 
in a need to include 26 subjects whom all are given the dose of interest. 
 
Justification for the sample size 
12.3.1 
Introduction 
The assumptions for the design and power calculations are: 
• 
The variable the powering is based on is Hair Density (HD, number of hair per cm2) 
and absolute change from baseline 
• 
The hypotheses to be tested will be two-sided, i.e. no assumptions on the direction of 
the effect 
• 
The estimation of the expected baseline hair density and expected standard deviation 
is based on the Olsen EA et. al [12]

12.3.2 
Expected baseline hair density and expected standard deviation 
The expected baseline hair density is presented in Table 1 in Olsen EA et. al [12]. In the 
patients randomised to get placebo the mean hair density is 168.9 hairs/cm2 and in the 
patients randomised to receive active treatment the baseline hair density is 170.8 hairs/cm2. 
In the sample size calculations it is then estimated that the mean hair density at baseline is 
170 hairs/cm2. 
The minimum increase in hair density expected to be needed from a marketing perspective is 
8%, i.e. a mean increase of 13.6 hairs/cm2. In the sample size calculations an increase of 
13.0 is used in order to be conservative. 
In Table II in Olsen EA et. al [12] the observed standard deviation for the change in hair 
density from baseline until 16 weeks post baseline is given. The observed standard deviation 
for patients given placebo is 19.7 and for patients given active treatment it is 22.5. In the 
sample size calculations a standard deviation of 23.0 is used in order to be conservative. 
12.3.3 
Sample size Formula 
The following hypothesis is to be tested: 
H0: μ = 0 
H1: μ ≠ 0 
Where μ is the expected value in the group (i.e. the mean in an infinite group) implying that μ 
is the expected absolute change over time within a certain dose level. 
The following formula has been used to calculate the number of patients needed [13] 
(n=number of patients on the dose of interest): 
n =
σ2 × ൫𝜆𝜆𝛼𝛼+ 𝜆𝜆𝛽𝛽൯
2
(µ)2
 
In the formula above σ is the expected standard deviation, λα is the 1−α percentile of the 
standardized normal distribution and λβ is the 1−β percentile of the standardized normal 
distribution. If the test is two-sided and the significance level is 0.0500 then λα = 1.9600. If 
the power is 80% then λβ = 0.8416 and if the power is 90% then λβ = 1.2816. 
12.3.4 
Results 
Table 4 
Number of fully evaluable subjects needed in order to get 80 % 
probability to get a two-sided p-value less than 5 % by some values for 
the expected standard deviation and by some differences in hair counts

Protocol deviations are specified in the ‘Deviation Definition Document’. The Investigator 
shall make best efforts to collect the data exactly as specified in the protocol. Nevertheless 
small discrepancies can occur. These differences are to be noted and explained properly. 
 Subject Records and Source Data 
Some data may be recorded directly in the eCRF and will then be considered source data. 
These data may include, but are not limited to, the following: 
• 
height 
• 
weight 
• 
sex 
• 
race 
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to record essential information in the medical records 
in accordance with national regulations and requirements. The following information should be 
included as a minimum: 
• 
A statement that the subject is in a clinical trial 
• 
The identity of the trial e.g. Trial code 
• 
Subject screening number and/or subject number 
•

Investigator and other relevant trial personnel should be available during the monitoring visits. 
 Data Management 
An electronic CRF system will be used to capture data from the trial. The Investigator agrees 
to maintain accurate eCRF and source documentation as part of the research under this 
protocol. Each completed eCRF must be reviewed by the Investigator in a timely manner. Data 
management and handling of data will be conducted according to the trial specific Data 
Management Plan in accordance with ICH guidelines and the CROs standard operating 
procedures (SOPs). 
Data entry will be performed by the trial site personnel. Validation and data queries will be 
handled by the CROs Data Management Team. The data will be subjected to validation 
according to the CROs SOPs in order to ensure accuracy in the collected eCRF data. 
Changes to eCRF (if used) will be made at the site by the trial site personnel. The eCRF will 
have an audit trail with appropriate functionality for data capture, tracking and documentation 
of any queries or changes. Once all the queries are closed and data have been verified by the 
CRA, the eCRF will be signed (E-Signature) by the investigator and the database will be 
locked. 
Before database closure, a reconciliation will be performed between the SAEs entered in the 
safety database and the trial database. After database closure, the database will be exported 
as SAS® data sets. 
 Quality Assurance and Audit 
Audits or inspections, including source data verification, may be performed by the sponsor or 
its representatives, a CA and/or an EC.

destruction of the documents. 
Essential documents should be retained according to applicable regulatory requirements of 
the country(ies) where the product is approved, and/or where the Sponsor intends to apply for 
approval. 
It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to inform the Investigator/institution in writing as to when 
the documents no longer need to be retained. 
 Insurance 
Every subject participating in the clinical trial will be insured in accordance with § 40 
paragraph 3 of the German drug law against injuries to health which may occur during the 
trial. 
Excluded from this however are injuries to health and deteriorations of illnesses already in 
existence which would have occurred or continued to exist even if the subject had not taken 
part in the clinical trial. 
The insurance cover is jeopardized if the subject fails to report immediately to the 
investigator or responsible physician any injury to health which might have resulted from 
participation in the clinical trial, or if he/she undergoes any other medical treatment without 
their consent before the clinical trial has been completely finished - insofar as the individual 
subject is concerned. 
Any injury to health which might have occurred as a result of participation in the clinical trial 
must be reported by the subject to the insurer without delay. The investigator is obliged to 
make such a report in any case. 
The subject insurance will be arranged by bioskin GmbH on the basis of the final version of 
the subject information and informed consent form. The subject insurer is HDI-Gerling 
Industrie Versicherung AG”, Überseering 10a, 22297 Hamburg, Tel. 040/36150-257, Fax 
0511/645-1152305.  
 
A travel insurance for the way to and from the site will be arranged. 
 Report and Publication
