NCT07502976
Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss that can affect quality of life. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical 2-Deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) hydrogel compared with topical minoxidil 5% solution in the treatment of mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia in adults aged 18 to 50 years. Sixty participants will be randomized into 2 treatment groups. The 2dDR group will apply 1 gram of topical 2dDR hydrogel once daily to the affected scalp areas for 6 months. The minoxidil group will apply topical minoxidil 5% solution to the affected scalp areas for 6 months according to sex-specific dosing in the protocol. Participants will undergo clinical assessment, trichoscopic evaluation, and standardized scalp photography at baseline, Week 12, and Week 24. The study will also assess tissue vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels using scalp biopsy specimens obtained at baseline and after 3 months of treatment in both groups. Safety will be evaluated through adverse event monitoring and clinical scalp examination during follow-up visits.
NCT07029711
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called ritlecitinib) for the possible treatment of severe alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair loss. This study is seeking participants who have: * at least 50% scalp hair loss due to alopecia areata. * received varicella vaccination (2 doses) or have been infected by varicella zoster virus before based on blood test reports. * history of clinical response failure to alopecia areata treatment (for children in EU/UK only). All participants in this study will receive either study medicine (ritlecitinib) or placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. One-third of participants will receive ritlecitinib higher dose, one-third participants will receive ritlecitinib lower dose, and one-third participants will receive placebo. The study medicine is a capsule that is taken by mouth. It is taken once each day at home. The study will compare the experiences of participants receiving ritlecitinib to participants receiving placebo. This will help see if ritlecitinib is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for 6 months. During this time, they will have 8 study visits at the study clinic. The study team will also call participants about 8 times over the phone.
NCT07228156
The goal of this study is to determine how safe and effective it is to improve hair growth by applying a serum daily on the scalp of men and women with thinning hair. The main aims of this trial are: 1. To confirm using photographic analysis, changes in the quality, volume, and thickness of hair. 2. To gauge patient satisfaction with hair changes and application process. 3. Monitor and report any adverse events associated with the daily usage of Xtressé serum. Participants who qualify will complete 7 visits after voluntary consent has been given. Participants will be given 9 bottles of serum to use during the study. The product will be applied daily over a 9-month period. Photographs and scalp analysis will be performed at each visit to measure changes in hair volume, thickness, and growth. Participants will complete a survey in the middle and at the end of the study.
NCT02557074
In a prospective pilot study the investigators showed that low doses of IL2 could be beneficial for severe AA inducing a long lasting regrowth in 4 out of the 5 patients treated. The objective of this study is to compare the long term efficacy of low doses of IL2 versus placebo in a multicenter prospective randomized double blind study.
NCT05391178
Phototherapy, including ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) light, has been used to treat a number of dermatologic conditions. Psoriasis is one of the most common conditions treated with phototherapy, in which phototherapy is often indicated for extensive disease with contraindications for other systemic treatments. The mechanism of action of phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis is not completely understood; however, it is known that UVB light induces apoptosis of pathogenic T cells and keratinocytes, which may reduce the overactive immune response and epidermal hyperproliferation. Phototherapy has shown some efficacy for other diseases, such as alopecia areata (AA) and polymorphous light eruption (PMLE). However, phototherapy is not always an accessible treatment option for patients due to cost or lack of time.
NCT05397457
As far as breast cancer is concerned, chemotherapy (CT) is an important treatment. However, there are many adverse effects impairing the patient's quality of life (QOL), in which chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) affects up to 65% of the patients. This condition is reversible. Nevertheless, it takes several months after CT for visible hair regrowth. Different characteristics of the new hair are common; for example, 65 percent of the patients have experienced a graying, curling, or straightening effect. Besides, the emotional trauma due to alopecia can not be neglected. Currently, scalp cooling is the only available and verified management for prevention. Unfortunately, the success rate of scalp cooling is variable, especially among the patients receiving anthracycline-based combinations. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) has been proven as a therapeutic technique for adrenergic alopecia. Recently, investigators have checked the validity of LLLT for the CIA. Although the preliminary outcome showed failure at accelerating hair recovery, technical progress of LLLT may improve the end result. Specifically, LLLT is a technique that utilizes laser diodes (LD) or light-emitting diodes (LED) to promote tissue repair. The light source from LD is coherent while LED is an incoherent light source. Therefore, LDs can deliver energy to tissues more efficiently than LEDs. To comprehensively evaluate the beneficial effect of LLLT in treating CIA, we conduct a clinical trial with a more advanced device equipped with 69 LDs. The project aims to explore the effect of low-level light therapy in chemotherapy-induced alopecia. We expect the therapy will lead to an improvement in the patient's hair count, hair width, and quality of life after chemotherapy.
NCT05910450
The purpose of the study is to see if Clascoterone can help people with male pattern hair loss to recovery and see if the treatment is effective and safe and how well the drug is tolerated by subjects. Within this study, the Clascoterone solution will be compared to a placebo. The study has 2 parts: Part 1 will see if Clascoterone solution is effective and safe compared to a placebo when applied twice daily for up to 6 months. Part 2 will see the long-term safety and efficacy of the Clascoterone solution compared to placebo for additional 6 months in subjects defined as ''responders'' in Part 1. A responder is defined as someone who have responded to the study drug, based on research data. Part 1 of the study is double-blind, meaning that neither the subject nor the study doctor knows which treatment subject is receiving. Part 2 of the study is single-blind and only the study doctor doing the study knows which treatment subject is receiving. Part 1 of the study will start with baseline visit during which subjects will be randomly assigned (by chance) in ratio 2:1 to apply either Clascoterone or placebo solution to their balding areas of the scalp. Subjects will have 5 clinic visits and 2 follow-up phone calls during 6 months of Part 1 duration. Subjects identified as Part 1 responders at Month 6 visit will be again randomly assigned in ratio 2:1 to receive either study drug or placebo. Part 2 of the study will consist of 2 additional clinic visits and treatment will last for further 6 months. Each subject will have also an end of study visit one month after the study drug treatment has been completed or discontinued (it will be one month after end of Part 1 for not responder subjects). For those subjects who complete the whole study (Part 1 and Part 2), the total duration of the study will be about 14 months, with 12 months of treatment with a total of eight clinic visits and two phone calls. Subjects taking part in this study will have the medical tests or procedures described below. * They will be asked about their previous medical history and current medications. * A brief physical examination will be performed. * Vital signs, weight and height will be measured. * Electrocardiograms will be performed. * Subject's scalp will be checked for any signs of irritation. * Two different types of photos will be taken during this study: "global photos", i.e. general photos of the subject's scalp and "macro photos", i.e. close up photos of a region of the subject's scalp. Global photos will be taken to help the subject and the study doctor to assess whether there has been a change in subject's hair growth. Macro photos will be used to count the number of hairs in a region of the subject's scalp and measure other properties of the hair (hair width and hair darkness). * Blood draws and urine sample collection for safety laboratory tests. * Subject will be asked to complete, on site, the following two questionnaires: * Cosmetic Evaluation - a couple of cosmetic questions on acceptability and how easy the study drug is to use. * Male Androgenetic Alopecia Questionnaire - some questions about subject's hair assessment. Eligible subjects will be given a supply of the study drug and shown how to use and store it. The first study drug dose will be applied at the clinic under the supervision of the study staff. Subjects will be instructed to apply about 1.5 ml of study drug with a dropper to the balding areas of the scalp on the vertex and the temples twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Subjects will be asked to bring back all used containers of study drug and all unused study drug to each study visit. Subjects will also be given a diary, shown what things have to be recorded on it and asked to bring back the completed diary to the study center at each visit.
NCT07474558
The goal of this interventional study is to determine if scalp cooling (by the Paxman Scalp Cooling System) reduces the extent and severity of alopecia in participants with advanced solid tumours receiving ADC. The main question it aims to evaluate the efficacy of scalp cooling in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in participants with advanced/metastatic solid tumours receiving antibody-drug conjugates (trastuzumab-deruxtecan, sacituzumab-govitecan, or datopotamab-deruxtecan), as assessed by blinded central dermatological review. Researchers will compare the experimental arm (ADC treatment + scalp cooling) with the control arm (ADC only). Scalp cooling will be done each day of ADC treatment : before, during and post-infusions of their ADC treatment.
NCT07435012
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a new topical solution, TH07, can help treat androgenic alopecia in men and to learn more about its safety. Participants will be asked to apply either the TH07 solution, a standard hair growth treatment (Minoxidil 5%), or a placebo every day for 24 weeks. At the end of the study, hair growth will be compared in each group to determine which treatment is most effective at increasing hair count.
NCT07454876
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune, non-scarring hair loss disorder characterized by variable clinical severity. Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) plays a key role in innate immune activation and autoimmune responses. The rs3853839 polymorphism of the TLR7 gene has been implicated in immune-mediated diseases. This study aims to evaluate the association between TLR7 rs3853839 polymorphism and susceptibility to alopecia areata, and to assess its correlation with disease severity measured by the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
NCT07080931
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of once-daily 5% minoxidil foam versus placebo in female androgenetic alopecia, using the Target Area Terminal Hair Count (TAHC) as the primary endpoint.
NCT06826196
The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to learn if ALD-102 Solution is safe and well tolerated following injections in the scalp in subjects with alopecia areata. The study will also learn about the effect of ALD-102 on hair regrowth in treatment areas. The researchers will compare the effects of ALD-102 Solution (drug) to placebo (saline solution that contains no drug) or an untreated area. Study participants will have treatment areas selected on the scalp to receive ALD-102 Solution (drug), placebo (saline solution) or to remain untreated. Injections will occur once every 4 weeks for a treatment period of 8 weeks.
NCT04764331
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is form of scarring hair loss that predominately affects middle-aged women of African descent.1 . Clinically, the natural progression of CCCA starts at the crown as roughly circular scarred patches, which evolve into scarred areas increasing in size circumferentially. Characteristically, the scar is often smooth and shiny, and the hair density in the affected area is frequently decreased. The hair remaining in the scarred areas is more brittle and shorter than the hair in unaffected areas. Since CCCA is a scarring disorder, it can cause permanent hair loss, dyesthesias, and psychological distress which can affect overall quality of life. Affected individuals may complain of pruritus, pain, or tenderness.2 The management of CCCA is challenging due to limited current treatments and a lack of randomized controlled trails. Management focuses on behavioral and styling modifications, in addition to symptomatic relief. Any potentially damaging hair care practices such as chemical relaxers, heat application to the scalp, and the use of hardening gels and sprays are discouraged.3 Many commonly used therapies are anti-inflammatory in nature, including intralesional steroids, topical steroids, oral antibiotics and increased frequency of hair washing with antidandruff shampoos.4 These treatments not only lead to improvement in pruritus and tenderness, but in some cases result in increased hair density.5 Since there is limited investigation done to determine the most effective treatment approach for CCCA subjects, it would be of great benefit to determine if there is any advantage in using one particular anti-inflammatory therapy over others and whether one is more efficacious in relieving symptoms or promoting hair regrowth in follicles that have not yet become scarred. The Revian Red All LED cap is a dual-band LED light therapy wireless "smart" cap. It has been effective in androgenetic alopecia (used once daily, 10-minute treatment regimen) for both men and women. There are also reportedly minimal side effects, unlike with topical minoxidil which can cause pruritus and initial hair shedding in the first few weeks, or finasteride which can cause gynecomastia and loss of libido. In this study we hope to see if the anti-inflammatory capabilities of this cap can improve scalp symptoms, reduce hair loss, and promote maturation of vellus and intermediate hairs in non-scarred areas of the scalp in those affected by CCCA.
NCT03382184
This study is being done to evaluate the effects of fractional photothermolysis (known as laser resurfacing) using fractional laser for the induction of hair follicles via skin rejuvenation in subjects with scalp alopecia (specifically, alopecia on the superior forehead at the frontal hairline). Fractional photothermolysis has been shown to be effective in promoting hair growth. The investigators will study 50 subjects who will be treated 6-10 times at 2-4 week intervals. Each participant will have half of their head treated with a laser, either Fraxel DUAL 1550 or Halo by Sciton, and the other half of their head will be left untreated as a control. Half of the individuals will randomly be assigned to the group to be treated with Fraxel DUAL 1550, and the other half will be treated with Halo by Sciton. Visual observation and digital, photographic, non-invasive imaging will be used to compare the treated and untreated area to assess for differences in hair follicle stimulation rates, number and density of hairs. As noted above, the types of lasers we plan to use include the non-ablative fractional laser settings for the Fraxel DUAL 1550 and Halo by Sciton. A fractional laser is a laser that directs an intense burst of laser energy on the skin. The treatment deposits heat deep into the dermis to tighten skin and stimulate collagen remodeling. The necrotic (death of cells or tissue) injury heals rapidly and adverse effects are few. Laser resurfacing is commonly used for rejuvenation of the skin to improve quality, tone, and texture.

NCT07107841
(SINGLE SITE Study) The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of an autologous hair follicle derived secretome for androgenous alopecia. The secretome will be injected into the scalp at baseline, and days 30, 90, 180, 270 and 365. Hair growth will be quantitatively measured for density and thickness. PROs will also be collected from participants. This study will be run at a SINGLE SITE.
NCT07406204
This study will compare two oral medicines-tofacitinib and methotrexate-for treating severe alopecia areata, including alopecia totalis (loss of all scalp hair) and alopecia universalis (loss of scalp and body hair). Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that can cause significant hair loss and emotional distress. Adults aged 18 to 60 years with severe disease will be enrolled at the Department of Dermatology, MTI-Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, after ethical approval and written informed consent. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily or methotrexate 0.2-0.4 mg/kg once weekly for 12 weeks. The main outcome will be improvement in hair loss measured by the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score. Treatment will be considered effective if there is more than 50% improvement in SALT score from baseline at the end of 12 weeks. Safety will be monitored during follow-up visits. The findings may help guide treatment decisions for severe alopecia areata in our local population.
