Filter by:The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of topical SM04554 solution (0.15% and 0.25%) applied to the scalp of male subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).
Topical minoxidil is the most common drug used for the treatment of AGA in men. While topical minoxidil exhibits a good safety profile, the efficacy in the overall population remains relatively low i.e., 30-40% re-grow hair. To observe significant improvement in hair growth, minoxidil is typically used twice daily for a period of at least 16 weeks. Due to the significant time commitment and low response rate, a diagnostic test to identify non-responders prior to initiating therapy would be advantageous. Minoxidil is converted in the scalp to its active form, minoxidil sulfate, by the sulfotransferase enzyme SULT1A1. The enzyme expression is variable among individuals. We have demonstrated in two prior feasibility studies that the SULT1A1 enzyme activity in plucked hair follicles correlates with minoxidil response in the treatment of AGA and thus can server as a predictive biomarker. Consequently, we developed a minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit intended to identify non-responders prior to initiating therapy with 5% topical minoxidil foam. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical validity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of bimatoprost solution on scalp hair growth. Bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution is currently approved by the FDA for treatment of glaucoma (Lumigan™) and for thickening of thin eyelashes (Latisse™). Bimatoprost 0.03% is not approved for the treatment of scalp hair loss and its use in this study is considered investigational which means it is still being tested in research studies. Thirty-three subjects were consented and screened, 9 entered and 9 completed the study.
Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common non scarring alopecia worldwide. Treatment of which has been limited with few options for medical and surgical treatment, the cost of the latter being prohibitive for many. Recently there have been several new modalities proposed as treatment, namely Microneedling and Platelet Rich Plasma. Microneedling has been shown to overexpress hair growth factors which may enhance or stimulate miniaturized hairs to grow. It has also been shown to increase the absorption of topical products significantly. The exact mechanism of action of Microneedling is still being delineated. In this study, we aim to do a half lesional study with global photographs and hair counts done at the start of , week four and week twelve. Patients would be needled once weekly after application of topical anaesthetic (5% EMLA). If by week six there is significant regrowth (>30%), then total lesional needling will be done. Patients will only be using topical 5% Minoxidil throughout the study as this will prolong the effects of the regrowth.
HCap Formula is composed of medicinal plants, vitamins and minerals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HCap Formula, a nutrition supplement for promoting hair growth in men with tendencies for hair loss.
The investigators plan to conduct a clinical trial to assess the effects and safety of platelet rich plasma on androgenetic alopecia.
The overall purpose of this clinical investigation is to collect data to support a marketing application for over the counter use of the X5 HairLaser with an indication for hair growth. The goal of this protocol is to demonstrate that the intended users of the X5 HairLaser can safely and effectively perform self-use application by following written instructions.
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.
- Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or common baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women and is caused by the action of androgens in genetically predisposed individuals. - This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a preparation of autologous plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret) in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Hair Loss Prevention Lotion named MEXIS, M.P.A.F., M6S PATENT is effective in the treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia.
