PP405 is a new hair loss treatment targeting dormant hair follicles, with ongoing trials. Some users consider stopping finasteride and minoxidil to join trials, while others doubt its effectiveness.
PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.
Hair regrowth in transfems is more effective due to hormonal changes, specifically estrogen, which keeps hair in growth phase longer. Treatments mentioned include anti-androgens, sex hormones, and DHT blockers like finasteride.
Hair loss discussion includes treatments Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. Prolactin's role in immune system's antitumor activity raises safety concerns for HMI-115.
The conversation discusses HMI-115, a potential cure for hair loss. Users share mixed opinions, with some expressing skepticism and others sharing anecdotal evidence of its effectiveness, including photos of significant hair regrowth from a trial participant.
Pelage secured $120 million for PP405, a non-hormonal topical hair loss treatment, sparking debate on its potential as a breakthrough. Concerns about finasteride's side effects persist, with some suggesting alternatives like topical finasteride or dutasteride.
PP405 is progressing rapidly through trials, with mixed opinions on its potential effectiveness. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are still widely discussed, with some users reporting positive results from new formulations.
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
PP405 shows promise in treating severe hair loss, with 31% of users experiencing over 20% hair density increase in four weeks, faster than minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical about the results' significance and long-term efficacy.
Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hair follicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
Adipose-derived stem cells with ATP improved hair regrowth in male and female mice with androgenetic alopecia. The most effective treatments were low dose stem cells with ATP for males and medium dose stem cells with non-liposomal ATP for females.
A user applied the 8T3 product for hair loss, targeting LPP and AGA, and plans to update on its effectiveness. The product uses a saline buffered phosphate vehicle, suitable for those intolerant to ethanolic vehicles.
A dermatologist recommended PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) for pattern baldness, but online sources suggest they may not be effective. The user is seeking opinions on these treatments.
A new hair loss treatment, PP405, showed promising Phase 2a results with 31% of patients experiencing over 20% hair density increase without systemic absorption, avoiding hormonal side effects. The treatment is expected to be expensive, with Phase 3 trials starting mid-2026, and there is skepticism about the data's strength.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
New hair loss treatments PP405 and VDPHL01 are discussed with skepticism and hope, alongside existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. Users express frustration over limited progress since the 1980s but remain cautiously optimistic.
PP405 is a promising experimental topical treatment for alopecia that reactivates dormant hair follicles by targeting cellular energy, with large-scale trials planned for 2026. While it shows potential, it cannot regenerate permanently destroyed follicles, making hair transplants the only guaranteed solution for advanced baldness currently.
The user is applying topical finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and has noticed hair thickening but no regrowth after two months. They also report high SHBG and prolactin levels and a lack of morning erections, even on low doses of medication.
The user is asking for opinions on whether their hair growth is due to Pantostin and hormone treatments. One commenter confirms regrowth and asks about the hormone treatments.
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals' PP405 aims to treat hair loss by reactivating dormant hair follicle stem cells, showing promising results in early trials. The company plans to present their findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2026.
Norwood 7 hair loss is often excluded from trials to ensure treatments appear more effective and to reduce costs. Some believe treatments effective for Norwood 5 could work on Norwood 7, but companies prioritize market readiness.
