The conversation is about the potential cost of GT20029 if FDA approved, with estimates around $150/month. Comparisons are made between GT20029, finasteride, and their mechanisms and side effects.
JeremySoCa's DHT level was 29 ng/dl, considered low, and Estradiol was 26.1 pg/dl within the normal range. They are using topical finasteride for hair loss and had a thyroidectomy due to Graves' disease.
The efficacy of degrading the androgen receptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
The conversation is about the anticipated release timeline for a hair loss treatment called GT20029. It may be available on the gray market in 1-2 years and officially in 3-4 years after completing clinical trials.
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
The conversation discusses the potential availability of GT20029 for hair loss treatment, with one user noting promising Phase 1 results and inquiring about gray market access. Another user humorously suggests it will take 50 years to become available.
Trans women discuss using finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss and whether to continue after testosterone suppression. One user reduced dutasteride dosage after achieving undetectable testosterone levels.
The conversation is about using micro needling and PTD-DBM for hair loss treatment. The user applies PTD-DBM drops on weekdays and performs micro needling weekly.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including finasteride, microneedling, minoxidil, and PTD-DBM. The user has not noticed significant regrowth and is considering cost-effective options like valproic acid.
A peptide from Japanese water chestnut fruit may help with hair loss by suppressing DHT's effect on hair follicle cell death, potentially serving as a finasteride alternative. The treatment's effectiveness and safety in humans remain uncertain.
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.
Oral PTD-DBM was discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but it was deemed ineffective in humans despite promising results in mice. The conversation concluded that trying it without VPA might be unwise.
The user is seeking alternative hair loss treatments due to side effects from finasteride and minoxidil. They are inquiring about the availability of gt20029 from u-lab.
A user shared their experience with a second hair transplant by Dr. Gokhan Gur, focusing on the midscalp and crown with 1849 grafts. Their current treatment includes dutasteride, finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and Nizoral shampoo.
The conversation discusses using GFM Gel, a topical gel with polypeptides that mimic growth factors to promote hair regrowth and strengthen hair. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.
Stem cell-related treatments and drugs like RCGD423 and WAY are being tested for hair growth. Clinics are conducting tests on patients who haven't had previous treatments.
The conversation is about the progress and development of a hair loss treatment called GT20029. People are discussing updates on its status and speculating on how long it will take to become available.
CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hair loss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of tablet forms of dutasteride for hair loss due to poor absorption compared to soft gel capsules. It suggests switching to FDA-approved soft gel capsules for better results, as tablets may not adequately suppress DHT levels.
GT20029, a new hair loss treatment, shows promising results but only a slight improvement over placebo. People are cautiously optimistic, discussing its potential and combining it with existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
There are no updates on GT20029, and concerns about its safety and effectiveness remain. The phase III trial has not started, and there are no new studies or data releases.
GHK-Cu peptide injections are discussed for hair growth, but users report mixed results and suggest focusing on DHT management first. Some users combine GHK-Cu with treatments like Minoxidil and Dutasteride, but emphasize its benefits for skin rather than hair.
Dutasteride can cause hair shedding even with suppressed testosterone levels due to previous damage from DHT. Hair shedding is often a sign of damaged hair being replaced by healthier growth.
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
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.
The conversation discusses using gartanin from mangosteen mixed with castor oil to degrade the androgen receptor for hair loss treatment. Alternatives like setipiprant, minoxidil, and dermastamping are also mentioned, with concerns about cost and potential side effects.
