Active clinical trials for "Hypotrichosis"

The scalp-limited for of hereditary hypotrichosis simplex (HHS; MIM146520) is an autosomal dominant form of non-syndromic alopecia which is caused by heterozygous nonsense mutations in the CDSN gene, encoding corneodesmosin (1). The disease features diffuse gradual scalp hair loss that starts in the middle of the first decade of life and progresses to total alopecia till the third decade of life. Recent studies have shown that aminoglycosides have the potential to induce readthrough of nonsense mutations in human cells. The aim of this study is to investigate whether topical aminoglycosides (Gentamycin) may be beneficial for the treatment of HHS patients carrying nonsense mutations by inducing readthrough. The Study goals: To assess the short and long term efficacy of topical gentamycin for the treatment of hereditary hypotrichosis simplex caused by nonsense heterozygous mutations in CDSN. The primary end point: To assess scalp hair growth during study period as compared to baseline. Hair growth will be evaluated during enrollment and every 4 weeks. The secondary end points will be time to regrowth for determining efficacy.

NUTRAFOL® Women's Balance supplement is a novel nutraceutical supplement, scientifically formulated to specifically target the multiple underlying causes of hair loss and thinning in women. NUTRAFOL® Women's Balance capsules are comprised of primary and secondary ingredients, designed to restore hair health from the inside out. In addition to the necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins to support the nutritional needs of hair, it also contains nutraceutical-grade botanical bioactives that are standardized and clinically tested. The formulation leverages the multidimensional properties of power plants, which possess a full spectrum of phytochemicals with innate capacities to work in synergy with each other to fulfill their specific therapeutic roles. Using the latest biotechnology, these ingredients are bio-optimized and standardized, extracted with patented methods that preserve their bioactive integrity and made more bio-available and bio-absorbable via specific patented technologies. Ingestion of NUTRAFOL® Women's Balance supplement over a six (6) month period will strengthen and promote the growth of hairs in perimenopausal, menopausal, and post-menopausal female subjects with self-perceived thinning hair when compared to baseline and those using the placebo tablet, with further improvement during the subsequent six (6) month open-label extension period.

The purpose of this research is to test the effects of an herbal combination formulation on hair growth in women with self-perceived hair loss.The information from this study may help to better understand how certain herbal supplements can affect hair growth. This may lead to better understanding of the hair, hair loss and help develop naturally-based treatment regimens in the future.

This is a post-marketing surveillance study in Japan that will evaluate the safety and patient satisfaction with GLASH VISTA™ (bimatoprost cutaneous solution 0.03%) in the treatment of hypotrichosis of the eyelashes.

This is an observational study of patients treated with bimatoprost 0.03% (Latisse®) for at least 12 months for hypotrichosis of the eyelashes.
