The Phase 2 LILAC study (N=132) demonstrated the efficacy of litifilimab in reducing disease activity in patients with active cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), as measured by the CLASI-A score, which evaluates five clinical subcomponents: Erythema, Scale/Hypertrophy, Mucous Membrane Lesions, Recent Hair Loss, and Non-scarring Alopecia. Significant improvements were observed at Week 16, particularly in sunlight-exposed areas, with up to 33.3% of participants showing a 1-point improvement in Erythema. The study confirmed that no single subcomponent solely drives the CLASI-A score, highlighting the importance of all subcomponents in assessing CLE disease activity.

1 year ago Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
community The Placebo Group Has It Worse Than The Standard Prescription 0.5mg Group. -The fear is all in your head.
Dutasteride at 0.5mg may have fewer sexual side effects than expected, with many side effects attributed to psychological factors (nocebo effect). The placebo group experienced more side effects, suggesting fear and anxiety might contribute to perceived side effects.
