Active clinical trials for "Alopecia"

The injection of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a relatively novel therapy, generating interest across a wide variety of medical specialties, such as orthopedics, dentistry, ophthalmology, and dermatology. Several recently published studies have demonstrated efficacy in treating androgenetic alopecia (aka male or female patterned hair loss), but each varies in the treatment protocol, and there is no evidence-based data to date guiding the dosing parameters of and intervals between injection sessions. We propose a single-center, single-blinded randomized pilot trial to investigate the most beneficial number and frequency ('schedule') of necessary PRP injections in men and women with androgenetic alopecia.

To investigate and compare the safety and effectiveness of the ARTAS™ System to manual hair follicle implantation method following a nine month period of post-procedure evaluation.

Preclinical studies showed the Nitric Oxide (NO) gel significantly promoted hair follicle formation and growth in both rat and mouse models. The NO gel induced major physiological, developmental, and structural changes in the skin of mammals to increase the number of hair follicles, follicle stem cell development and regeneration as well as hair shaft elongation, and accelerated hair growth rate. Based on our animal model findings, the investigators hypothesize that the nitric oxide releasing gel could be used as a medical treatment for hair growth in humans. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this NO gel (XN-001), in comparison with a placebo gel in subjects in a 24-week treatment schedule.

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of alopecia in both men and women. About 80 % of Caucasian men and 40-50 % of Caucasian women are affected by androgenetic alopecia. The psychological impact of hair loss due to Androgenetic alopecia can be profound.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of treatment with Platelet-rich plasma on Androgenetic alopecia (compared with placebo), between six months and baseline.

HALACAP-1406 is a prospective single-centre non-interventional study assessing the refrigerant helmet use as medical device to prevent alopecia induced by eribulin (Halaven®) in the conditions of use specified in its marketing authorization. Eribulin will be used alone for the treatment of the patients having a locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer which have progressed after at least 1 chemotherapy regimen for their advanced stage.

This is a multicentre, open label, randomized, pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of Human Platelet Lysate (HPL) in subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia. The study is being conducted at 2 centers in India. The primary endpoints are Improvement in Caliber & Density of hair and Improvement in Photographic assessment from randomization to end of study. The secondary endpoints are Physicians and Patients self assessment score.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or common baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women and is caused by the action of androgens in genetically predisposed individuals. This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a preparation of autologous plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret) in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.

Determine that the Orbis Paxman Hair Loss Prevention System is safe and effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in woman with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.

Alopecia Areata (AA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease causing nonscarring hair loss. Many treatment modalities have been found to be helpful in AA, however, none on them cure the disease. UVB excimer light has recently emerged as a new therapeutic modality in many dermatologic diseases. There are no prospective randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of UVB excimer light in AA. We plan on conducting a prospective split lesion single-blinded randomized clinical trial to assess efficacy and safety of UVB excimer light in the treatment of AA.
