The trial for TDM-105795 has been completed, and it was in phase 2A. The discussion seeks input on the next phases, 2B or 3, based on safety and efficacy.
A user was prescribed Alpicort E, which contains Estradiol Benzoate, Prednisone, and Salicylic Acid, for hair loss and is seeking others' experiences due to concerns about potential side effects.
The conversation is about the use and application of CB-03-01-2 (Breezula) for hair loss, including questions about its form, how to apply it, and the duration 10g would last. Specific treatments discussed are Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Kintor apologized for using misleading images in their advertisements and promised stricter review processes. They are also considering developing a topical dutasteride formulation.
The potential of using a specific antibody, HMI-115, as a treatment for hair loss alongside traditional treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride. The user suggests trying either a 240 mg or 30 mg dose to see if it works.
PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hair follicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.
Two Chinese suppliers provided legitimate RU58841, confirmed through a free drug testing service. The vendors were Shaanxi Greenyo Biotech and Lyphar, found on Made-in-China.
Finasteride not only inactivates the 5a reductase enzyme but also affects the 5b reductase enzyme in a dose-dependent manner, which can impact sexual behavior and brain activity. The user experienced significant hair regrowth and side effects on 1mg of finasteride, which diminished after reducing the dose to 0.5mg, leading to no side effects and further hair improvement.
RU58841 from rudirect caused more hair shedding and itch, while anageninc's RU58841 improved the situation. Users are concerned about the quality and authenticity of RU58841 from different suppliers, including those from China.
The conversation discusses the approval of Kintor Pharmaceutical's AR-PROTAC (GT20029) for clinical trials in China for acne and androgenic alopecia. One user expresses optimism about new treatments being developed and seeks clarification on how the new drug works, specifically if it temporarily degrades the AR protein to reduce DHT sensitivity in hair follicles.
The conversation discusses organizing group buys and tracking progress for Kx-826 Pyrilutamide, a hair loss treatment. Participants express optimism about upcoming results and concerns about self-reporting bias.
PP405 shows initial promise for treating androgenetic alopecia, with safety confirmed in early trials, but skepticism remains due to limited data. Further trials are needed to determine its true efficacy and potential market impact.
Dutasteride may inhibit androgen receptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.
Kintor Pharmaceutical's Phase 2 results with the drug Pyrilutamide, a potential alternative to 5-ARI drugs like Finasteride and Dutasteride but without the side effects. It could be used in combination with other topical treatments such as Minoxidil. The safety of the drug has been demonstrated in 6 months of use, however there are still questions about long term efficacy and systemic absorption.
The conversation lists hair loss treatments including finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, pyrilutamide, breezula, and fluridil, and suggests ketoconazole as another option. Some users warn against using certain treatments like cyproterone acetate, bicalutamide, and spironolactone due to their strong anti-androgen effects and potential impact on masculinity.
Oral minoxidil is more effective than topical for some users, increasing hair density and thickness. Lack of response to topical minoxidil may be due to insufficient sulfotransferase enzyme, which can be upregulated with tretinoin.
Oral minoxidil may be more effective than topical due to uniform distribution and systemic activation, but can cause side effects like puffiness. Adding tretinoin to topical minoxidil can enhance its effectiveness by aiding conversion to its active form.
The conversation discusses the variability in effectiveness and safety of generic finasteride from different manufacturers, with some generics potentially containing impurities. Users shared their experiences with various brands, questioning if different brands affect hair loss treatment outcomes.
Combining Minoxidil with Finasteride or RU58841 may cause interference, irritation, or reduced absorption. It might be better to apply one topical at a time and wait an hour before applying another.
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
The conversation discusses creating a topical catalase solution with phosphate buffered saline, glycerin, and polysorbate 20 for hair loss treatment. The user seeks advice on preparing this solution.
Using topical finasteride alongside oral finasteride likely won't provide significant benefits and may increase the risk of side effects. The "4-in-1" spray offers a higher minoxidil concentration but may not be worth switching if oral finasteride is well-tolerated.
Pyrilutamide's systemic degradation is unclear, unlike fluridil, which becomes inactive in the body. The discussion focuses on whether pyrilutamide shares this property.
Follicium XR™ is a topical treatment for hair loss containing RU58841, AHK-Cu, GHK-Cu Peptide, caffeine, D-Biotin, methylene blue, keratin, and spermidine. RU58841 is considered the most effective ingredient, but concerns exist about its stability in water.
