Active clinical trials for "Alopecia Areata"

Alopecia areata is the second most common cause of hair loss following androgenic alopecia. It is affecting 2% of global population with an increasing prevalence. Briefly, it is a chronic, immunomediated disease characterized by acute onset of non-scarring hair loss ranging from small circumscribed patchy areas on the scalp to complete scalp and body hair loss. Until recently our understanding of the pathophysiology of alopecia areata is scarce, despite being so common. Methotrexate is an immunosuppressant drug that has been widely used for a range of inflammatory and immune-mediated skin disorders. Methotrexate has been recently proven to inhibit Jak/STAT Pathway. Triamcinolone acetonide as another type of treatment of alopecia areata either intralesionally or topically remains the first line of treatment.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex autoimmune disorder with an estimated lifetime risk of 1.7% where both genetic pre-disposition and environmental factors contribute. It typically presents with sharply demarcated round patches of non-scarring hair loss that may present at any age. Many patients with AA are dissatisfied with current medical treatments and use alternative therapies and cosmetics. This study will generate new data on the current situation of psychosocial and financial burden of AA. It will help to identify unmet needs and to understand the disease issues. It will also be the basis for the planification of future supporting measures.

Although it is well known that the clinical expression and course of chronic inflammatory skin diseases are highly variable, there are insufficient epidemiological data on this, and the factors that determine the manifestation, clinical features and course are also largely unknown. There are currently no reliable markers that could predict or delineate patient subgroups to support patient management. The aim of this project is to identify clinical and molecular factors that correlate with disease, disease subtypes and progression through in-depth long-term clinical characterization of patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases and examination of individual biomaterials.

This study will be a single center, open-label study of a single concentration of ANR- 001.1. The solution will be applied to the scalp of 14 male subjects by study staff once daily for 7 days.

The purpose of this study is to assess KL130008 is safe and effective in adults with severe alopecia areata

The purpose of the study is to see if Clascoterone can help people with male pattern hair loss to recovery and see if the treatment is effective and safe and how well the drug is tolerated by subjects. Within this study, the Clascoterone solution will be compared to a placebo. The study has 2 parts: Part 1 will see if Clascoterone solution is effective and safe compared to a placebo when applied twice daily for up to 6 months. Part 2 will see the long-term safety and efficacy of the Clascoterone solution compared to placebo for additional 6 months in subjects defined as ''responders'' in Part 1. A responder is defined as someone who have responded to the study drug, based on research data. Part 1 of the study is double-blind, meaning that neither the subject nor the study doctor knows which treatment subject is receiving. Part 2 of the study is single-blind and only the study doctor doing the study knows which treatment subject is receiving. Part 1 of the study will start with baseline visit during which subjects will be randomly assigned (by chance) in ratio 2:1 to apply either Clascoterone or placebo solution to their balding areas of the scalp. Subjects will have 5 clinic visits and 2 follow-up phone calls during 6 months of Part 1 duration. Subjects identified as Part 1 responders at Month 6 visit will be again randomly assigned in ratio 2:1 to receive either study drug or placebo. Part 2 of the study will consist of 2 additional clinic visits and treatment will last for further 6 months. Each subject will have also an end of study visit one month after the study drug treatment has been completed or discontinued (it will be one month after end of Part 1 for not responder subjects). For those subjects who complete the whole study (Part 1 and Part 2), the total duration of the study will be about 14 months, with 12 months of treatment with a total of eight clinic visits and two phone calls. Subjects taking part in this study will have the medical tests or procedures described below. They will be asked about their previous medical history and current medications. A brief physical examination will be performed. Vital signs, weight and height will be measured. Electrocardiograms will be performed. Subject's scalp will be checked for any signs of irritation. Two different types of photos will be taken during this study: "global photos", i.e. general photos of the subject's scalp and "macro photos", i.e. close up photos of a region of the subject's scalp. Global photos will be taken to help the subject and the study doctor to assess whether there has been a change in subject's hair growth. Macro photos will be used to count the number of hairs in a region of the subject's scalp and measure other properties of the hair (hair width and hair darkness). Blood draws and urine sample collection for safety laboratory tests. Subject will be asked to complete, on site, the following two questionnaires: Cosmetic Evaluation - a couple of cosmetic questions on acceptability and how easy the study drug is to use. Male Androgenetic Alopecia Questionnaire - some questions about subject's hair assessment. Eligible subjects will be given a supply of the study drug and shown how to use and store it. The first study drug dose will be applied at the clinic under the supervision of the study staff. Subjects will be instructed to apply about 1.5 ml of study drug with a dropper to the balding areas of the scalp on the vertex and the temples twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Subjects will be asked to bring back all used containers of study drug and all unused study drug to each study visit. Subjects will also be given a diary, shown what things have to be recorded on it and asked to bring back the completed diary to the study center at each visit.

Treatment of alopecia using the injections of cultured stem cells from human hair follicles,(which contain epithelial and mesenchymal cells stem cell)

This first in human phase 1 study to Study will evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of Single Ascending dose (SAD), Food effect (FE) and Multiple ascending dose (MAD) of OR-101 Administered Orally in healthy subjects

The study team will assess the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma therapy, a special blood product which is from the participant's own body, in the treatment of androgenic alopecia (also known as male pattern hair loss) in females.

To compare the efficacy and safety of topical pentoxifylline 2% gel and topical metformin 10% gel versus topical betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream, in treatment of patchy alopecia areata.
