Hair loss treatments, specifically about the effectiveness of RU58841 compared to Pyrilutamide. Molecular weights and side effects were discussed in terms of efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
A user is joining a clinical trial for Clascoterone, a drug approved for acne but being tested for hair loss. They previously tried finasteride with limited success and plan to share updates on their experience with the new treatment.
Adding vitamins like zinc, iron, biotin, and vitamin D to finasteride and minoxidil may help with hair loss. Some users are skeptical about the study's validity due to its precise numbers.
The efficacy of low doses of finasteride to reduce scalp DHT, and whether studies showing a 61% reduction are reflected in actual results. Replies discussed hair growth as an unintended consequence of minoxidil and finasteride use, as well as self-selective bias, potential side effects, and that studies measure effectiveness by hair count changes rather than DHT inhibition.
The user shared their personal experience with hair loss, hormone imbalances, and treatments including testosterone boosters, natural estrogen blockers, and DHEA. They suggest that low-dose finasteride and natural hormone therapy could reduce hair loss with fewer side effects.
Dutasteride mesotherapy in women with metabolic syndrome accelerated hair loss after initial regrowth, while women without metabolic syndrome saw continuous regrowth. The user with mild insulin resistance is hesitant to try topical dutasteride and seeks experiences from others with insulin resistance.
PTD-DBM is being explored for hair regrowth by targeting CXXC5, with clinical trials expected after pre-clinical studies. Users express anticipation and skepticism about its effectiveness.
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.
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
A Phase 1 update for the HMI 115 clinical trial, which involves 16 participants and is expected to end in July 2023; as well as changes to the recruitment process, including treatment protocols with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
A 22-year-old with high estradiol levels is considering starting finasteride for hair loss. They have an upcoming endocrinologist appointment to discuss whether they should proceed with the treatment.
The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemic absorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
The user is experiencing low libido and mood swings after starting a low dose of topical finasteride. They are considering further blood tests to investigate low testosterone levels and other hormonal factors.
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 is a potential hair loss treatment undergoing trials, with discussions on its effectiveness and comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is skepticism about its status as a cure, with hopes for future advancements in genetic treatments like CRISPR.
Treatments for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma therapy with or without minoxidil, ketoconazole, non-abative radio frequency, natural products, finasteride and cortexolone 17 alpha propionate. The post evaluates the efficacy and safety of these treatments in various studies.
Microneedling is supported by research as an effective adjuvant treatment for hair loss, especially when combined with Minoxidil or Finasteride, with minimal side effects if done properly. Concerns about long-term safety and potential risks like infection or fibrosis remain, but many users report positive results.
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
Hair loss research is important and contributes to overall scientific advancement, benefiting emotional well-being and potentially aiding other medical fields. Treatments mentioned include PP405 and SCUBE3.
A new stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss, but skepticism remains about its availability. Users humorously discuss the effectiveness of treatments on mice compared to humans.
The conversation is about someone looking for specific side effects reported in clinical trials for GT20029, a hair loss treatment. No results or data were found on the clinical trials site.
The conversation discusses a new study on topical pumpkin seed oil for hair loss in mice. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, Androgen Receptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
Evidence-based treatments for androgenic alopecia, such as minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, dutasteride, platelet-rich plasma, and topical ketoconazole. It discusses the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of these treatments, as well as future developments in understanding this polygenic condition.
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.
The conversation is about a user preparing to join the ABS-201 clinical trial for hair loss treatment, which involves a prolactin inhibitor. The user plans to update others on their progress if enrolled.
