Active clinical trials for "Alopecia"

The purpose of this study is to examine prospectively the safety and efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) injections in the treatment of patients with alopecia areata of the scalp.

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a topical 5% minoxidil formulation in males for the treatment of pattern hair loss. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the safety of a topical 5% minoxidil formulation in males when used twice daily for the treatment of pattern hair loss and to obtain the safety data on the investigational product when used twice daily for up to one year.

This study investigates the impact of mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on social anxiety in adults with alopecia areata. A single-group case-series design will be adopted.

The REVIAN study is designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the REVIAN System in male participants with androgenic alopecia. An Active modulated light therapy REVIAN System will be compared to a Placebo Comparator non-active REVIAN System in participants using the device for a daily 10-minute treatment over the course of 26-weeks. At each follow-up visit, participants will be interviewed to determine if any adverse events (AEs) were experienced since the previous follow-up visit. All participants will be required to complete self-administering scalp hair growth and life quality questionnaires at each follow-up visit. Investigators will be required to complete global assessments of scalp hair growth for each enrolled participant at each follow-up visit. Macrophotography evaluations will be performed at baseline, 8-, 16-, and 26 weeks for all participants using standard Canfield blinded reviewer. Global photographs of superior and vertex scalp will be taken by participants and by PI to be assessed by a blinded reviewer once all photos have been captured for each participant per visit.

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in men, and affects approximately 50 percent of Caucasian men by age 50. The condition is characterized by the progressive loss of terminal hairs on the scalp in a characteristic distribution. The anterior scalp, mid scalp, temporal scalp, and vertex of the scalp are typical sites of involvement. "Male balding" and "male pattern hair loss" are additional terms used to refer to this condition. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of microneedling in androgenic alopecia

The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of fractional carbon dioxide laser versus microneedling in the transepidermal delivery of triamcinolone acetonide and platelet rich plasma in treatment of alopecia areata.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous preparation of human plasma with high concentration of platelets. Platelets release numerous growth factors, which stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of PRP injection for treatment of hair loss. Clinical outcomes will be assessed by noninvasive techniques including dermoscopy, multiphoton microscopy, optical coherence tomography, optical Doppler tomography and multispectral imaging.

The trial was a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 2 trial. 60 healthy bald male subjects diagnosed with alopecia, who are between 18 and 55 years old and provide written informed consent were eligible for inclusion. The trial period consisted of a screening period of up to 3 weeks followed by 12 weeks of dosing, three times per week. Each subject received two doses of the five trial treatment doses (placebo, 0.00625, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.100 μg respectively). The doses were given as intradermal injections. On each volunteer, two treatment areas were placed on the head and the two selected doses were allocated to the respective treatment areas according to the randomisation scheme. The treatment areas were selected on the border between the bald surface and the surface with hair. The effect on hair growth was measured by the use of Trichoscan imaging and measuring method at week 8 and 12. A baseline measaure was taken at day 0.

This is a single-center, open-label clinical study to study the efficacy of apremilast in the treatment of mild to moderate central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. The investigators hypothesize that the anti-inflammatory properties of apremilast may play a role in the decreasing scalp inflammation in patients with CCCA and may prevent further hair loss and potentially induce hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate disease.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common, immune-mediated non scarring alopecia and can be associated with severe psychological consequences . Alopecia Areata affects 2% of the global population. Alopecia Areata prevalence is lower in adults than children, is increasing over time, and significantly differs by region. Its etiology is unknown but it was hypothesized to be an autoimmune disease mediated by T-lymphocytes. It has been suggested that inflammatory T cells induce growth arrest in hair bulbs in the anagen phase of the hair cycle . Cytotoxic T cells secrete tumor necrosis factor, granzymes, and Fas ligand which trigger apoptosis in affected hair follicle and disrupt hair growth
