PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hair follicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.
How diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) is not an invitation to self-diagnose oneself with aggressive AGA and that seeking a specialized dermatologist may help people experiencing hair loss. Treatment options discussed include topical clobetasol propionate, oral minoxidil, and discontinuing finasteride.
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.
The user experienced side effects from ecklonia cava similar to those reported with finasteride, including depression, brain fog, anxiety, and testicular pain. Despite these issues, the user is still considering using topical finasteride in the future.
Veradermics' phase 2 trial of slow-release oral minoxidil shows promising hair regrowth with minimized side effects, gaining significant attention and funding. PP405 is also noted for its potential as a side-effect-free alternative.
Microneedling on the vertex may require trimming hair to ensure needles reach the scalp effectively. Using a needle length of 1.0–1.5 mm is suggested, and longer hair might get damaged if not cut.
Pyrilutamide's systemic degradation is unclear, unlike fluridil, which becomes inactive in the body. The discussion focuses on whether pyrilutamide shares this property.
High frequency ultrasonography and HR-MRI can help identify hair shedding causes like inflammation and fibrosis. The conversation discusses the potential of using these technologies to evaluate treatments like Verteporfin for hair regeneration.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
TE (telogen effluvium) is often misunderstood and is triggered by severe stress or trauma, not minor daily inconveniences. Most hair loss cases are due to male pattern baldness (AGA), and treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride can help.
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.
