TDM-105795 is a potential hair growth stimulant that works differently from minoxidil and could be used alongside it for enhanced growth. It completed phase 2 trials in 2024, with a medium to high chance of release in 2026, but lacks recent updates or phase 3 trial information.
Phase II for TDM-105795 for Androgenic Alopecia is set to begin in April 2023. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TDM-105795 in male subjects.
Results for PP405 are expected next year, with concerns about its pricing and potential black market availability. Some users believe it may be slightly more effective than finasteride and dutasteride, and combining it with treatments like minoxidil and microneedling could be beneficial.
The user "_Mad_Jack_" shared their progress pictures of using topical finasteride and minoxidil for 11 months.

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
PP405 is in phase 2 trials for hair loss, with discussions on its cost and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Users are skeptical about its efficacy and timeline, with hopes for market release by 2027.
