Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline Hair Growth Assessed by Macrophotographic Technique (Hair Count) in the Vertex at 6 Months.Baseline and 6 months

The Macrophotographic hair count method marks a 1-inch diameter circular area at the anterior leading edge of the vertex thinning area and then photographed. The photographs are enlarged and converted into dot maps and the dot maps are converted into total hair counts by means of personal computer-based scanners and imaging software.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjects Global Assessment of Hair Regrowth Question: Since the Start of Treatment I Have Lost?Month 3 and Month 6

Investigator's Photographic Assessment of Improvement Distribution From BaselineMonth 3 and Month 6

Improvement Distribution is based on the number of hairs per centimeters squared by macrophotographic conversion hair count. Score Range -3=greatly decreased to +3=greatly increased. 0=No change.

The Percentage Change From Baseline in Testosterone at Month 3, 6, and 10Month 3, Month 6, and Month 10

Mean percent change from Baseline for testosterone. Testosterone was measured in ng/ml.

Laboratory Values: Electrolytes Assessed at Baseline and 6 Months.Baseline and Month 6

Change From Baseline Hair Growth Assessed by Macrophotographic Technique (Hair Count) in the Vertex at 3 Months.Baseline and Month 3

The Macrophotographic hair count method marks a 1-inch diameter circular area at the anterior leading edge of the vertex thinning area and then photographed. The photographs are enlarged and converted into dot maps and the dot maps are converted into total hair counts by means of personal computer-based scanners and imaging software.

The Percentage Change From Baseline in Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) at Month 3, 6, and 10Month 3, Month 6 and Month 10

Mean percent change from Baseline for DHT. DHT was measured in pg/ml. Change from baseline = Month 3, 6, and 10 values minus baseline value.

Investigator's Photographic Assessment of Improvements From Baseline ScoreMonth 3 and Month 6

Improvement Distribution Score is based on the number of hairs per centimeters squared by macrophotographic conversion hair count. Score Range: -3 = greatly decreased to +3 = greatly increased. 0 = No change.

Panel Assessment of Improvement Distribution From ScreeningBaseline to Month 3 and Baseline to Month 6

Improvement Distribution is based on the number of hairs per centimeters squared by macrophotographic conversion hair count.

Score Range -3=greatly decreased to +3=greatly increased. 0=No change.
