1.Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline (BL) in Target Area Hair Count (HC) Within a 2.54 Centimeter (cm) (1 Inch) Diameter Circle at the Vertex at Week 24, as Assessed by Macrophotographic Technique (MT)
Hide Description The primary target area HC was based on the nonvellus hair (>=30 micrometers [μm] in width; thick and noticeable hair) count within a target 2.54 cm (1 inch) diameter circle at the vertex (crown, topmost part of the head). A cosmetic ink dot was placed by tattoo at BL so that the same area could be identified at BL and post-BL. If the ink dot faded, it was re-done in exactly the same location to ensure visibility for subsequent photographs. For the MT, hair was clipped before each photograph; HC was based on hair follicles in the photographs. Change from BL=Week 24 value minus the BL value.

Title Change From Baseline in Terminal Hair Count Within a 1.13 cm (0.44 Inch) Diameter Circle at the Vertex at Week 12 and Week 24, as Assessed by MT
Hide Description The THC (thick, long, and dark hair) was the sum of all nonvellus hairs (>=60 μm in width; thick and noticeable hair) within a target 1.13 cm (0.44 inch) diameter circle at the vertex (crown, topmost part of the head). A cosmetic ink dot was placed by tattoo at BL so that the same area could be identified at BL and post-BL. If the ink dot faded, it was re-done in exactly the same location to ensure visibility for subsequent photographs. For the MT, hair was clipped before each photograph; HC was based on hair follicles in the photographs. Change from BL=Week 12/Week 24 value minus BL value.

Title Global Assessment of Improvement From Baseline to Week 24 Assessed for Vertex and Frontal Views Separately
Hide Description A central panel of 3 dermatologists independently assessed change in hair growth from Baseline to Week 24 using a 7-point scale: greatly decreased (-3), moderately decreased (-2), slightly decreased (-1), no change (0), slightly increased (1), moderately increased (2), and greatly increased (3). The median score, across the 3 panel members, is summarized. This assessment was performed by comparing the global photographs obtained at Baseline with those subsequently obtained at Week 24. This assessment was made separately based on the global photography of the vertex and frontal views.

Stage VII indicates worse balding than stage I. Assessment was made by direct visual examination (aided by pictures) of the participant at Baseline and Week 12 (W12). "v," vertex; most of the hair loss (commonly seen with advancing age) is on the vertex.

Hide Description Participant-perceived change in HG was assessed by 3 questions (each scored on a 7-point scale) on a health outcome questionnaire: "Since the start of treatment, when I look at my thinning area, I can see...", "Since the start of treatment, my hair now covers…", and "Since the start of treatment, the appearance (thickness/quality/amount) of the thinning area on my head is…" -3, Much less; -2, Moderately less; -1, Slightly less; 0, The same amount; 1, Slightly more; 2, Moderately more; 3, Much more scalp. The scores for the 3 questions were summed to obtain the HGI total score (-9 to 9).

17.Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Total Hair Growth Satisfaction Scale (HGSS) Scores at Weeks 12 and 24
Hide Description Participant satisfaction with hair appearance/growth was assessed by 5 questions (each scored on a 7-point scale: How satisfied do you feel about: [1] The overall appearance of your hair; [2] The appearance of the thinning area[s] [TAs] on your head; [3] The amount of scalp that can be seen in the TAs; [4] The amount of hair in the TAs; [5] The growth of hair in the TAs): -3, Very dissatisfied (DS); -2, DS; -1, Somewhat DS; 0, Neutral (neither satisfied nor DS); 1, Somewhat satisfied (SA); 2, SA; 3, Very SA. The scores for the 5 questions were summed to obtain the HGSS total score (-15 to 15).

Certain Agreements
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
GSK agreements may vary with individual investigators, but will not prohibit any investigator from publishing. GSK supports the publication of results from all centers of a multi-center trial but requests that reports based on single-site data not precede the primary publication of the entire clinical trial.
