The phase 3 trial results for Pyrilutamide showed no significant difference from the control treatment in increasing hair count, leading to the company halting its development. Users discussed their disappointment and skepticism about hair loss treatments, with some mentioning other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community The second shed has been brutal (4 months and ongoing)
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using topical finasteride and minoxidil but faced a prolonged shedding phase, leading them to increase the finasteride dose and add oral dutasteride. Despite concerns about shedding, they remain hopeful for regrowth and are supplementing with Vitamin D.
community 2nd shed Update: Lost everything and still losing like crazy.
The user experienced significant hair loss after initially successful treatment with minoxidil and finasteride, leading to a second shedding phase. They are considering switching to oral minoxidil for convenience and are advised to continue treatment despite the shedding, as regrowth is expected.
community Another follow up. 2 years and 7 months on Fin and Min. For the first time in years, I can grow my hair.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using oral finasteride (1 mg) for 2 years and 7 months and topical minoxidil (5%) for about 13 years, with no side effects reported.

community The story of RU58841/PSK3841
RU58841, an anti-androgenic compound, showed early promise for treating alopecia but faced challenges after its patent in 1997. Despite advancing to Phase II trials, safety concerns and financial struggles led Aventis to abandon its development. Proskelia, which later merged into ProStrakan, couldn't prioritize the drug, leading to its eventual stagnation and failure to reach the market.
