A Study of Revian Red All LED Cap as a Novel Treatment for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

United States24 participantsStarted 2022-07-10

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Revian Red All LED cap shows potential to be an effective treatment for Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) by recruiting hair follicles back to anagen growth or by improving inflammation. The primary outcome is to determine if hair loss regression is halted. Secondary outcomes include hair regrowth and alleviation of signs and symptoms of the disease. Participants will be asked to use the Revian Red All LED cap once daily for a 10-minute treatment regimen which is the current androgenetic alopecia recommendation.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women who are between the age of eighteen years and sixty-five years * Biopsy-proven diagnosis of CCCA Stage II-IV. * Must be on stable treatment without changes (on doxycycline, topical steroids, minoxidil and/or post 8 rounds of intralesional steroids) for at least 3 months Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects with other forms of hair loss that is not CCCA * Prior treatment with light source for alopecia * Males are excluded from this study since the prevalence of CCCA in males is so significantly low that it is difficult to find cases in a clinical setting

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
