Filter by:Treatment of male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARIs) has been associated with sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. This will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the impact of dutasteride treatment on sexual function as well as subject satisfaction with hair growth and quality of life in men with AGA. This study will consist of a Screening Visit, a 4-week Placebo Run-in Phase, a Treatment Phase of 48 weeks, and a subsequent Follow-up Visit after 4 weeks. The treatment phase will include 24 weeks of double-blind, placebo controlled treatment and 24 weeks of open-label treatment with dutasteride. An extended 6-month Follow-up Visit will be conducted for any individuals with a change in erectile function at the end of treatment.
Determine that the Orbis Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System is safe and effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in woman with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.
This study will acquire data on hair growth of the head that is the result of treatment with a non-heat generating, laser product. This data will come from counting of terminal hairs before treatment begins and after treatment is completed. The treatment regime is every other day for 16 weeks.
Alopecia areata (AA) is a common disease of the immune system, known as an "autoimmune" disease. In the disease, the immune system mistakenly destroys the hair follicle, causing hair to fall out. Despite many people having this disease, research into its cause and into new, better ways to treat AA has lagged far behind other similar diseases of the immune system. Currently, there are no Federal Drug Administration approved drugs for AA. Ruxolitinib (made by Incyte) is an intervention known to effectively treat a disease of the bone marrow, known as myelofibrosis. It is also being studied in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, another "autoimmune" disease, by fighting inflammation. There are some genetic and chemical similarities between those with myelofibrosis, active rheumatoid arthritis and AA, suggesting that treatment with ruxolitinib may be effective in AA. In mice specially designed for testing drugs for the treatment of human alopecia areata, this medication worked to prevent the disease AA from starting in mice that would have otherwise developed the disease. To test Ruxolitinib, we are going to treat 12 patients with moderate to severe AA for a minimum of 3 months up to 6 months. This is an "open-label" study, meaning that there will not be a placebo group; all patients enrolled in the study will receive the active medication. The effectiveness of the medication will be measured by changes in hair re-growth as determined by physical exam and photography, as well as by patient and physician scoring. Patients will be followed for another 3 months off of the drug to see if the effects of treatment last and if there is delayed response. The safety of the medication, ruxolitinib, in patients with alopecia areata will also be evaluated. Blood work will be collected before medication is started, during the treatment period, and after ruxolitinib is stopped, in order to monitor for adverse effects of the medication. Small scalp biopsies and peripheral blood will be taken at the beginning of the study before treatment and also after 12 and possibly 24 weeks. Optional biopsies may also be taken at additional time points based on clinical considerations. The chemical analysis of these skin samples and blood will help us to understand how the disease happens, how the treatment works, and may even guide us to better treatments in the future.
We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
The aim of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of 5 x 0.1 milligram (mg) capsules compared to 1 x 0.5 mg capsule of dutasteride in healthy male subjects. The results of this study are expected to support registration applications for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Japan and other international markets.
The purpose of this study is to determine if receiving sub-cutaneous injections of a medication called abatacept causes regrowth of hair in people with alopecia areata. Among patients with alopecia areata, patients with worse disease are unlikely to have satisfactory outcomes with current therapies. Our hypothesis is that Abatacept will be effective therapy in moderate to severe alopecia areata by blocking re-activation of a special type of immunecell call a memory T-Cell (CD8+NKG2D+)thereby blocking the inflammatory response underlying alopecia areata.
This is a safety and efficacy study of bimatoprost in male subjects with androgenic alopecia (AGA).
Pantovigar - a high effective product designed primarily for the treatment of diffuse hair loss in women as well as for the treatment of damaged hair, in the combined therapy can be successfully applied in other types of alopecia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy Pantovigar plus 2% minoxidil vs 2% minoxidil. To collect tolerability data for combined treatment Pantovigar plus 2% Minoxidil course therapy.
This study aims to determine the frequency of response to treatment with 3 concentrations of IL TAC, 2.5mg/ml, 5mg/ml or 10mg/ml as well as the duration of response and incidence of side effects compared to treatment with placebo (sterile saline solution). After the 1st 6 months, nonresponders or partial responders may be treated for 6 months with open label triamcinolone at the dose deemed appropriate by the investigator. The investigators will also perform skin biopsies of the scalp and draw blood at selected time points in order to examine the immunohistochemical/pathological response in scalp hair follicles and the systemic circulation to treatment with IL TAC for alopecia areata.
