The Use of Auto-Antibody Testing in the Evaluation of Interstitial Lung Disease: A Practical Approach for the Pulmonologist

A user is interested in Absci's AI-driven antibody platform, ABS-201, for treating androgenetic alopecia, which shows promising preclinical results and potential for hair regrowth and pigmentation restoration. However, concerns are raised about the drug's development timeline and its advantages compared to existing treatments.

The conversation is about a user preparing to join the ABS-201 clinical trial for hair loss treatment, which involves a prolactin inhibitor. The user plans to update others on their progress if enrolled.

A user with alopecia totalis, borderline universalis, seeks advice on getting into a Xeljanz trial or appealing insurance for coverage. They experienced significant hair regrowth but are now seeing hair loss again and want to try Xeljanz.

The trial for TDM-105795 has been completed, and it was in phase 2A. The discussion seeks input on the next phases, 2B or 3, based on safety and efficacy.

Users discuss finding reliable sources for RU58841, focusing on lab tests, batch consistency, and community reputation. Some mention using alternatives like pyrilutamide.

Finasteride reduces DHT production, so blood tests can track hormonal changes. Pyrilutamide blocks androgen receptors without altering hormone levels, making blood tests less useful for detecting its effects.
