Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Purpose The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of a biocellular mixture of emulsified adipose-derived tissue stromal vascular fraction (AD-tSVF) and high density platelet-rich plasma concentrate (HD- PRP) as compared with adipose-derived cell-enriched SVF (AD-cSVF) + AD-tSVF and HD- PRP concentrates in treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL). Assigned Interventions 1. HD-PRP + Matristem Matrix (ACell) 2. Experimental: HD-PRP + Emulsified AD-tSVF 3. Experimental: HD- PRP + Emulsified AD-tSVF + Emulsified AD-cSVF Device: Tulip Microcannula Closed Syringe For All Lipoaspiration (2.11 mm Diameter, offset Carraway) Centrifugation technique to acquire concentrated platelets (per manufacturer's approved protocol) Healeon ACM Emulsification System that prepares microcannula harvested AD-tSVF for small needle (25g) retrograde threaded intradermal scalp injection. Healeon Centricyte 1000 system for cellular isolation of AD-cSVF from AD-tSVF and testing by Flow Cytometry (ORFLO MoxiFlow) Procedure: Closed syringe microcannula lipoaspiration (AD-tSVF) Procedure: Emulsification of AD-tSVF via Healeon ACM Protocol (Newbury Park, CA, USA) Procedure: Biocellular mix of emulsified AD-tSVF and HD-PRP for intradermal injection in scalp; (Arm 2) Procedure: Cellular isolation (AD-cSVF) Centricyte 1000 incubation/shaker system using GMP certified, sterile Liberase MNP-S (Roche #06297790001) for enzymatic digestion manufacturer standard protocol. Creation of emulsified AD-tSVF + PRP + cell-enriched AD-cSVF for intradermal injection in scalp (Arm 3) Sham Comparator: No Fat Control using Emcyte II PRP Concentrate + Matristem (Acell) for subcutaneous scalp injection patterned per square centimeter of scalp. Procedure: Emcyte Pure PRP® II system to concentrate Platelets via using manufacturer standard protocol

Interventions

  • AGA Biocellular Stem/Stromal Hair Regenerative Study (Stem Cell Therapy)
Trial OverviewThe study tests the safety and effectiveness of injecting a biocellular mix into the scalp. It compares different combinations of high-density platelet-rich plasma (HD-PRP), adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (AD-tSVF and AD-cSVF), and MatriStem Matrix against a control group receiving standard care.
