Filter by:The purpose of this study is to look at the safety, as well as the efficacy of hair transplantation compared with irritation with hypodermic needles in the treatment of subjects with refractory alopecia areata. With this study, the investigators hope to demonstrate that trauma is just as effective as hair transplant in the treatment of recalcitrant alopecia areata of the scalp.
The study will evaluate the safety of topical norepinephrine in head and neck cancer patients who are receiving treatment with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The study will also provide information about whether topical norepinephrine can prevent or decrease the severity of the radiation-induced alopecia experienced by these patients.
Preclinical studies showed the Nitric Oxide (NO) gel significantly promoted hair follicle formation and growth in both rat and mouse models. The NO gel induced major physiological, developmental, and structural changes in the skin of mammals to increase the number of hair follicles, follicle stem cell development and regeneration as well as hair shaft elongation, and accelerated hair growth rate. Based on our animal model findings, the investigators hypothesize that the nitric oxide releasing gel could be used as a medical treatment for hair growth in humans. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this NO gel (XN-001), in comparison with a placebo gel in subjects in a 24-week treatment schedule.
The objective of this study is to assess the parathyroid-vitamin D-calcium axis in subjects with alopecia areata. The hypothesis behind this study is that hypovitaminosis D might contribute to the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of bimatoprost solution compared with vehicle and over-the-counter (OTC) minoxidil 5% solution in men with androgenic alopecia. All treatments will be provided in a double-blinded fashion except for minoxidil 5% solution which will be provided open-label.
The current study aims to show efficacy of twice daily application of 5% Minoxidil Topical Foam (MTF) formulation compared to placebo in the temple region of male patients with androgenetic alopecia after 24 weeks as well as to gain long-term data on the efficacy and safety of 5% MTF in male subjects with AGA in temple and vertex region, over a period of 2 years. Objective and subjective efficacy measures will be compared to baseline. Moreover, all patients will get the equal treatment and measurements in the vertex region to enable comparison of the efficacy of 5% Minoxidil Topical Foam in the temples not only to baseline but also to vertex region. Additionally safety assessments will be performed throughout the whole study.
Will Abatacept reduce priming of the hair follicle specific T cells and thereby reduce hair follicle associated infiltration and improve hair growth. This is a double blind placebo controlled study to test the safety and efficacy of Abatacept in the treatment of 64 subjects diagnosed with alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to the placebo or treatment arm and will receive 6 months of treatment with the study medication or placebo, followed by a 6 month observational period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Minoxidil treatment affects hair growth in patients with male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine if the Erchonia® ML Scanner (MLS) low level laser light device can help to regrow hair on the scalp of females experiencing hair loss or thinning.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of performing injections of human autologous hair follicle cells. The study will also measure the impact these injections will have on hair growth. 20 patients will be selected for participation in this study (10 males and 10 females) based on their health status, current/past medications, and ability to adhere to protocol-related requirements. All patients will have evidence of mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (AGA) involving the vertex area of the scalp as defined by the Ludwig (female) or Norwood (male) scales. At the first visit and after completing informed consent, patients provide a blood sample that will be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, and syphilis one week before having a biopsy from the back of their scalp. The provided scalp biopsy is then processed to isolate hair follicle cells which are then replicated. Patients return to the clinic for injections of their own replicated cells (autologous cells) in medium (verum) and medium alone (control) into two pre-selected treatment areas in their scalp. Assessments of the safety/tolerability of these injections will take place over the next 60 months both at in-clinic visits and telephone follow-up visits. At these visits patients will have their overall health assessed as subjective and objective assessments of the areas that were injected either with verum or control. During the first 24 months of follow-up, digital images will be taken of the scalp and of the two treatment areas injected with either verum or control. Furthermore at 6, 12, and 24 months post-injection, four patients (2 male and 2 female) at each time point will provide biopsies of the injection sites for histopathological analysis. At the 60 month time point, any patients not previously providing biopsies for histopathological analysis will provide biopsies. Total duration of patient participation is approximately 63 months.
