    TLDR The drug combination was safe and showed promise in treating advanced tumors.
    In this Phase I study, 25 patients with advanced solid tumors were treated with SU-014813 and docetaxel to determine the maximal tolerated dose, evaluate pharmacokinetics, and assess anti-tumor efficacy. The recommended phase II dose was 75 mg/m² of docetaxel with 50 mg/day of SU-014813. Dose-limiting toxicities included neutropenia, neutropenic fever, fatigue, and diarrhea. Common side effects were fatigue, alopecia, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, rash, hypertension, and hair discoloration. The clinical benefit rate was 37.5%, with 2 patients achieving partial responses and 7 patients having stable disease for over 6 months. The combination showed manageable safety and promising anti-tumor activity, particularly in melanoma and sunitinib-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumors, warranting further development.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
