Primary Outcome(s)
Sensitivity and specificity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit to predict at baseline the mean change in non-vellus hair count in the target region [Time Frame: baseline to week 16]
Sensitivity and specificity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit to predict at baseline the subjects ratings [Time Frame: baseline to week 16]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Sensitivity and specificity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit to predict at baseline the mean change in non-vellus hair diameter in the target region [Time Frame: baseline to week 16]
Mean change in minoxidil sulfotransferase activity in plucked hairs as measured by the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit [Time Frame: baseline to week 16]
Sensitivity and specificity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit to predict at baseline the treatment efficacy evaluated by expert panel review of global photographs assessing hair regrowth [Time Frame: baseline to week 16]
