Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the level of safety and effectiveness of extracellular vesicles derived from umbilical cord blood serum in comparison with the platelet-rich autologous plasma group and the minoxidil group in the treatment of androgenic hair loss.
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 1 and 2 on 30 patients, randomization: simple randomization method
Settings and conduct
Basic information, including demographic and clinical information, is collected through a questionnaire and when the patients visit the SSRC of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and the patients are randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 people. The first group was treated with umbilical cord blood serum, the second group was treated with autologous PRP and the third group was treated with minoxidil topically, in groups 1 and 2 patients for 4 sessions with 1 month intervals. They are treated by injections. Patients will be examined with the following methods in each treatment session and 3 and 6 months after the completion of treatment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: women and men with hereditary hormonal hair loss, age 18 years or older and less than 50 years, Hamilton score 2 to 5 in men and Ludwig score 1 to 3 in women, complete patient consent to participate in the project. Exclusion criteria: platelet disorders or thrombocytopenia, patients receiving anticoagulants, patients with malignancy.
Intervention groups
Patients are randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 people. The first group was treated with extra vesicles derived from umbilical cord blood serum, the second group was treated with autologous PRP, and the third group was treated with topical minoxidil.
Main outcome variables
Hair follicle density per surface unit, hair follicle thickness, hair follicle cuticle condition, hair follicle length

Randomization tool: using simple randomization method, patients who refer to Dr. Nilfroosh Zadeh's skin clinic are divided into 3 groups. In this way, out of the 30 sealed envelopes, one envelope is randomly selected for each patient. Inside each envelope is the letter A, B or C. Group A patients will be treated with extra vesicles, group B will be treated with PRP, and group C patients will be treated with minoxidil.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
