Active clinical trials for "Alopecia Areata"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the HairMax LaserComb 2009 12 beam model for androgenetic alopecia in females when treatment is applied as directed.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 doses of bimatoprost solution compared with vehicle and over-the-counter (OTC) minoxidil 5% solution in men with androgenic alopecia. All treatments will be provided in a double-blinded fashion except for minoxidil 5% solution which will be provided open-label.

Systemic Pulse Glucocorticoids have been shown to be effective in widespread Alopecia areata but not the totalis, universalis or ophiasic type. Whether the failure is due to inadequate dosing, inadequate frequency or other factors is a matter of debate. The investigators decided to conduct this study using the oral pulse steroid, however with higher doses and more frequent pulses to patients with severe forms of Alopecia areata.

This study will serve as a pilot study to determine the efficacy and safety of topical gabapentin in the treatment of symptomatic scarring alopecia.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ENERGI-F701 Solution in female subjects with hair loss.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Tofacitinib in treating patients with extensive and recalcitrant Alopecia Areata (AA), along with to evaluate the economic impact of the patients that may be from changing in their quality of life. There are patients with severe AA who may have little or no improvement from the treatment by diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) or topical steroid with minoxidil but instead having positive response from the treatment with Janus kinase(JAK) inhibitor such as Tofacitinib or Ruxolitinib. For the best of my knowledge, there was no previous study in using Tofacitinib to treat severe AA before in Thailand.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for non-scaring alopecia in women. A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be performed where patients with non-scarring alopecia will either receive injections of their own PRP or injections of normal saline (placebo). Patients in the treatment group (Group A) will have a small amount of their own blood drawn and have their PRP injected into their scalp four times. The injections will be given at weeks zero, four, eight, and twenty four. The placebo group (Group B) will be given the same schedule but will receive sham injections only and will not have any blood drawn. Both groups will have clinical data collected at all visits, including a screening visit before enrollment and a final assessment visit at week 40, for a total of 6 study visits per patient. Data collection will include representative photographs of the scalp and measurements of hair thickness. The results from the two groups will then be compared. In summary, all study participants will have a screening visit before enrollment, four study visits for sub-dermal scalp injections, and one final assessment visit at week 40.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a nutraceutical supplement for the treatment of hair loss and thinning in females over the course of six months of continuous daily use.

This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted in Turkey, will assess the efficacy and safety of topical SM04554 solution (0.15% and 0.25%) applied daily to the scalp of male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) subjects.

Cetirizine is a safe and selective, second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonist, widely used in daily practice. A study showed that cetirizine causes a significant reduction in both the inflammatory cell infiltrate and PGD2 production. A pilot study on topical cetirizine showed that cetirizine increased total hair density, terminal hair density and diameter. Also, its lower potential side effects if compared with other drugs commonly used for AGA, as minoxidil, can promote a wider use and better compliance of cetirizine in the future for the treatment of AGA. Combinations of therapies are likely to be more efficacious than single treatments. Treatments to clinically improve scalp hair density and reduce mid-pattern thinning leading to improved scalp coverage are highly important for the affected women. On the basis of the above evidence and lacking studies that confirm the effectiveness of cetirizine in AGA treatment, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of topical cetirizine in female patients with AGA.
