Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate difference of anagen hairs at 180 days (FA vf [%]) from baseline rate (FA vi [%]), in participants of each treatment group.	Assess the non-inferiority of the effectiveness of the BL3000 drug compared to the drug.; The counting of anagen and telogen performed by phototrichogram in the initial and final experimental times, with the calculation proposed according to the protocol below: The primary variable of efficacy will be the rate of anagen hairs (FA) (%), 45.90 and 180 days in relation to the beginning, between the two arms of treatment (test versus control). Calculated as follows: FA (vi): result of anagen (%) on visit 04 (T0); FA (vf): result of anagen (%) on visit 10 (T182). Response rate of anagen (%), FA = (FA (vf)-FA (vi)).	180 days
Secondary	Difference of the total count of strand hair per mm² (density) at the experimental time frames, compared to the baseline evaluation, in participants of each treatment group.	Difference of the density of the strand hair, in a given area (units per mm2), measured by phototrichogram in the experimental times, compared to the baseline measurement	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Difference of the number of anagen hairs per mm² (density) at the experimental time frames, compared to the baseline evaluation, in participants of each treatment group.	Difference of the density of anagen hairs, in a given area (units per mm2), measured by phototrichogram in the experimental times, compared to the baseline measurement	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Difference of the number of telogen hairs per mm² (density) at the experimental time frames, compared to the baseline evaluation, in participants of each treatment group.	Difference of the density of telogen hairs, in a given area (units per mm2), measured by phototrichogram in the experimental times, compared to the baseline measurement	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Difference of the anagen/telogen hair ratio at the experimental times frames, compared to the baseline evaluation, in participants of each treatment group.	Difference of the anagen/telogen hair ratio, in a given area (units per mm2), measured by phototrichogram in the experimental times, compared to the baseline measurement	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Difference of the strand hair thickness (mm²) at the experimental time frames, compared to the baseline evaluation, in participants of each treatment group.	Difference of the thickness of strand hairs, measured by phototrichogram in the experimental times, compared to the baseline measurement	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Proportion of "Excellent" and "Very good" change of the telogen effluvium, as assessed by the investigator, comparing photographs taken at final visit and baseline visit, in participants of each treatment group.	Analysis photographs taken during the initial and final visits, the opinion of the evaluator, regarding the improvement of the telogen effluvium: - Excellent; - Very good; - Good; - Regular; - Bad. Analysis global assessment of the investigator, the X2 test will be used to make comparisons between groups. The proportion of Excellent and Very good for Researcher question will be analyzed, the confidence interval with 95% confidence for p1 - p2 will be constructed from the sample distribution of the sample proportion, where p2 is the proportion of Excellent and Very good by Pantogar for Researcher question and p1 is that of the test drug.	180 days
Secondary	Proportion of "Much better" and "best" change, based on the participant's subjective assessment, from each treatment group, using a Likert scale.	Participants will present their opinion on the effectiveness of the treatment, using a Likert scale from 1 to 4: Considering the evolution of the treatment, what is your opinion about the amount of hair strands at the end of the treatment.; 1 - Much better; 2 - Best; 3 - No change and 4 - Worse. To analyze Subjective evaluation of the patient, the X2 test will be used to make comparisons between groups.; The proportion of Much better and Best for patient question will be analyzed, the confidence interval with 95% confidence for p1 - p2 will be constructed from the sample distribution of the sample proportion, where p2 is the proportion of Very best and Best of Pantogar for patient question and p1 is that of the test drug.	45,90 and 180 days
Secondary	Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events in each treatment group	Safety and tolerability evaluation based on the occurrence of adverse events in each treatment group.	180 days
