Chime Biologics and Hope Medicine are speeding up the launch of a first-in-class antibodydrug, HMI-115, for endometriosis and androgenic alopecia. The treatment involves a series of subcutaneous injections, has shown promising results in phase 1, and continues to promote hair regrowth even after the treatment is stopped.
A new potential hair loss treatment called HMI-115, and the cost of this treatment which may be expensive due to production costs but could be competitive with other treatments such as hair transplants.
12 companies having drugs or therapies in clinical trials during 2023, with various molecules and phases of trial; the probability that some may fail; and progress being made in the field.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. HMI-115, a monoclonal antibodydrug, is in phase 1 and 2 trials for different conditions, but its availability on the gray market is unlikely due to high production costs.
A Phase 1 update for the HMI 115 clinical trial, which involves 16 participants and is expected to end in July 2023; as well as changes to the recruitment process, including treatment protocols with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
