Active clinical trials for "Alopecia"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the medicine is changed and eliminated from your body after you take it) and pharmacodynamics (effects of the medicine in the body) of the study medicine (called Ritlecitinib) in children of 6 to <12 years of age with Alopecia Areata, a condition of scalp hair loss. 12 children with alopecia areata will be participating in this study. All participants will receive study medicine with a dose of 20 milligram (mg) orally once daily for 7 days. 5 blood samples will be collected on day 7 for pharmacokinetic evaluation and 2 blood samples each at screening and on Day 7 will be collected for pharmacodynamic evaluation. Participants will take part in the study for about 10 weeks.

This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ATI-501 for the treatment of Alopecia Areata (AA), Alopecia Universalis (AU) or Alopecia Totalis (AT) in adult subjects.

The aim of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of 5 x 0.1 milligram (mg) capsules compared to 1 x 0.5 mg capsule of dutasteride in healthy male subjects. The results of this study are expected to support registration applications for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Japan and other international markets.

This study aims to evaluate the Impact of a topical Lotion, CG428, on permanent chemotherapy induced hair and scalp disorders in Cancer survivors. This is a double-blind, single center, randomized, controlled trial in breast cancer survivors. Hair condition and parameters of 61 breast cancer survivors who were previously included in DERMA study (a prospective cohort study to assess appearance changes due to breast cancer treatment completed in July, 13th,2013) will be assessed. Patients whose hair parameters are below the baseline as measured before the start of the chemotherapy or who complain from incomplete hair regrowth will be eligible to participate in the randomized controlled trial. Patients who agree to participant in the study will be randomly assigned to two parallel arms (Arm 1: CG428/ Arm 2: Placebo). Patients will self-administer the study product or placebo twice per day (morning, evening) for 6 months, for the efficacy assessment. Primary endpoint was recovery of hair thickness 6 months after intervention as assessed using Folliscope 4.0. Secondary endpoints included hair density at 6 months after intervention, distress due to chemotherapy induced alopecia, scalp skin parameters (water and sebum). Patient-reported hair quality improvement, body image and quality of life, and time to first visible improvement based on global photographs of hair and nails.

It is thought that alopecia areata occurs as the result of an inappropriate response of the body's own immune system to certain substances in or around the hair follicle. We will be examining the efficacy of Aldara Cream 5% in treating extensive alopecia areata and observe its affect on the hair follicle.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether cosmetic investigational product containing NGF-574H is safe and effective in the treatment of androgenic alopecia in asian adults.

Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is one of the most common and emotionally distressing side effects of cancer therapy. In this study we sought to assess the feasibility and the effectiveness of scalp cooling system DigniCap® to prevent alopecia in primary breast cancer patients receiving an anthracycline containing adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). A prospective two-stage design clinical trial conducted at a single Institution of women with primary breast cancer scheduled to receive anthracycline with or without taxane-based adjuvant CT. Patients were enrolled from July 2014 to November 2016, with ongoing annual follow up for 5 years. The scalp cooling period initiated approximately 30 minutes before CT. Scalp temperature was to be maintained at 3-5°C throughout CT and for 90 to 120 minutes afterward, depending on the CT drug and dose.

According to the World Health Organization data, one out of every five Chinese men has a hair loss symptom, and the hair loss is as high as 84% before the age of 30. Based on the experience of clinicians, there seems to be an increasing trend of alopecia patients who seek the treatment in Taiwan. Treating pathological hair loss requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent conditions that could lead to permanent hair loss. The current methods of treating hair loss include oral drugs, topical medication, laser illuminating treatment, platelet-rich plasma and hair transplant surgery. However, these treatments also have different disadvantages. Prolonged continuous use of oral and topical medications may be accompanied by side effects. Other treatment modalities may require higher costs, require return visits, or be more invasive. Previous study found that the composition of small DNA fragments (SF DNA) possesses not only toxin-free in primary human skin cells and nude mice, but also inhibits inflammation and ROS generation in the process of skin aging. SF DNA also contributes to promote the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicles, and stimulates the hair growth in nude mice through affecting JAK-STAT pathway. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical application of SF DNA scalp conditioning solution attenuates inflammatory responses, promotes the proliferation and differentiation of hair follicles, and increases the hair of hair loss patients and inspires the quality of life.

Phase II clinical trial

The purpose of this multi-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, conducted for Lifes2Good, is to evaluate certain physiological effects of Viviscal Oral Supplement compared to a placebo in female subjects with self-perceived thinning hair associated with poor diet, stress, hormonal influences, or abnormal menstrual cycles. Viviscal is an oral food supplement specifically designed to promote the quality of existing hair growth and/or to promote new hair re-growth for women suffering from temporary thinning hair. It does not contain hormones, drugs, or industry by-products. Viviscal has been marketed in Europe for over 15 years. The key ingredient is AminoMar C - a protein rich compound of marine extracts blended with soluble silica and fortified with Vitamin C. Viviscal provides essential nutrients to nourish hair naturally from within. Viviscal works over several months of use to improve the appearance of thinning hair.
