Active clinical trials for "Alopecia"

Subjects, non pregnant/lactating and over 18years old, with 40% alopecia areata will take vytorin (statin/ezetimibe) for 24 or 52 weeks and be monitored for hair regrowth. The investigators hypothesize that Vytorin medication may have an effect on the inflammatory process of alopecia areata. Inactivating the inflammatory process may help in permitting hair regrowth in those subjects.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 3% Minoxidil lotion and 3% Minoxidil with 0.1% Finasteride lotion for 6 months in male pattern hair loss.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Low Level Laser and Light Therapy system configured in a novel product called the TopHat 655 system, for promoting hair growth in males and females diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia of the head.

This is a safety and efficacy study of bimatoprost in male subjects with androgenic alopecia (AGA).

Pantovigar - a high effective product designed primarily for the treatment of diffuse hair loss in women as well as for the treatment of damaged hair, in the combined therapy can be successfully applied in other types of alopecia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy Pantovigar plus 2% minoxidil vs 2% minoxidil. To collect tolerability data for combined treatment Pantovigar plus 2% Minoxidil course therapy.

The purpose of this six month study is to show that dutasteride is safe and more effective than placebo, and at least as safe and effective as finasteride in treating hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia. Three doses of dutasteride will be investigated.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intralesional botulinum toxin type A injection for recalcitrant alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis. Treatments of recalcitrant alopecia totalis and universalis remains an challenge issue for medical practice.The application of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) is still being an standard treatment for the condition, however, there are at least thirty percentage of patients recalcitrant to this treatment. The complete etiology of this disease has yet to be clear.Nevertheless,recent studies have demonstrated the hypothesis of neurotransmitter involvements. There is numerous evidence in support of an imbalance of transmitters, including substance P and Calcitonin gene-related peptide. Botulinum toxin A injection has been used to treat a neuralgiform headache and diffused alopecia areata. Both headache and hair loss have been made much in improvement. This data may support the neurotransmitter imbalance theory. The investigators have been informed about possible effects to the alopecia condition, therefore, this study is conducted to assess the efficacy of botulinum toxin A as the novel treatment for recalcitrant alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.

The purpose of this study is to measure the hair growth response to topical NEOSH101 when applied twice daily to the balding scalp for 16 weeks. One hundred eighty men with Norwood/Hamilton grades III-IV with thinning in the top and center of the scalp will participate. Three equally sized treatment groups (60 men each) will receive either topical NEOSH101 2.0%, minoxidil 5%, or placebo.
