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.
Potential success with the hair loss treatment Pyrilutamide, and possible group buying opportunities for it along with other treatments such as Finasteride and Minoxidil.
The user switched from oral finasteride to dutasteride due to libido issues and is seeking advice on the timeline for libido recovery and potential hair gains. Some users suggest exercise to alleviate side effects, while others discuss the rarity of sexual side effects and recommend switching back to finasteride if issues persist.
PP405 is a new drug in Phase 2 trials for hair loss, generating cautious optimism among users. Some users are currently using finasteride and experiencing side effects, while others are skeptical about unapproved products being sold.
The user started using minoxidil 10% in July 2024 and added 1 mg finasteride daily a month ago, experiencing initial shedding with both treatments but noticing some hair density improvement. They seek feedback on progress and advice on managing shedding, with suggestions including patience and possibly adding microneedling.
New hair loss treatments like stem cells, hair cloning, and gt20029 are unlikely to be available in the next 5-10 years, with some trials possibly starting by 2026. Current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride have been used for decades, and new developments depend on funding and successful trials.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment showing promising early results, with hopes for market release by 2028, but skepticism remains due to inconclusive data and past disappointments with similar products. Current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride have side effects, leading some to anticipate PP405 as a safer alternative, though its effectiveness compared to placebo is debated.
There is skepticism about new hair loss treatments, with the belief that current options like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are the best available. Concerns are raised about the systemic side effects of androgen-related treatments, even those marketed as topical, and doubts about the effectiveness of emerging treatments like clascoterone.
Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to genetic differences in the SULT1A1 enzyme, affecting how well it converts to its active form, minoxidil sulfate. Hyper-responders may experience rapid hair growth and increased side effects, such as pericardial effusion, even at low doses.
Switching to Amazon for finasteride prescriptions can save money, with a 90-day supply costing around $17 for Prime members. Oral minoxidil requires monitoring, so a local doctor is needed for that prescription.
The user has been using topical minoxidil for over a year and added kx826/pyrilutamide to improve hair growth, avoiding finasteride due to side effects like lowered libido and panic attacks. They report positive results with reduced shedding and healthier hair, particularly in areas previously unresponsive to minoxidil.
Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.
The user is frustrated with the lack of visible hair regrowth after 7-8 months of using finasteride and minoxidil, despite initial vellus hair growth. Others suggest patience, switching to oral minoxidil, or using additional treatments like dermastamping, microneedling, and red light therapy.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on a new slow-release oral minoxidil compared to topical minoxidil and finasteride. The results show that twice-daily dosing of the new treatment is slightly more effective than once-daily, but concerns about cost, side effects, and the accuracy of reported results remain.
Kx-826 at 0.5% shows limited effectiveness for hair loss, while 1% is more promising but expensive. RU58841 is considered a more feasible option until 1% kx-826 becomes affordable.
RU58841 is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with questions about its availability on Amazon and daily application dosage. Minoxidil and finasteride are also mentioned as treatments.
A dutasteride simulator predicts that daily 0.5 mg dosing results in higher DHT suppression compared to less frequent dosing. Twice-weekly dutasteride may be as effective as finasteride 5 mg, providing a balance between efficacy and ease of use.
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of dutasteride in halting hair loss for the user and explores the potential of PP405, which works through a different mechanism. Suggestions include considering a biopsy to determine the cause of hair loss and exploring other treatments like RU58841.
Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
RU58841 is preferred over finasteride for blocking DHT on the scalp, especially for those with aggressive MPB. Creatine is associated with increased hair shedding, even when using RU58841.
Supplements like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed oil may target the remaining 10% of DHT not affected by Dutasteride. Users discuss whether these supplements are beneficial when already using Dutasteride.
New hair loss treatments like VDPHL01, PP405, Gt20029, and Breezula are anticipated, with VDPHL01 possibly releasing in 2027/28. Current treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, but new options are eagerly awaited.
Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.
Pelage plans to conduct two Phase 3 trials for PP405, a new hair loss treatment, which may take about a year to complete. Users discuss various hair loss treatments, including pyrilutamide, minoxidil, finasteride, and clascoterone, with some expressing impatience over the lengthy trial process compared to faster drug approvals like the COVID vaccine.
The conversation discusses the potential of new hair loss treatments, with a focus on pyrilutamide, gt20029, and topical alfatradiol, and the possibility of improving their effectiveness through methods like increased concentration and microneedling. Dutasteride is also mentioned as a stronger option.
PP405 is being discussed as a promising hair loss treatment, potentially effective when combined with minoxidil and pyrilutamide. Some users are skeptical about rapid hair regrowth claims, while others are considering alternatives like GT20029 and pyrilutamide instead of finasteride.
PP405 is being discussed for hair regrowth, with mixed opinions on its effectiveness and legitimacy. Some users report early signs of regrowth, while others are skeptical about its authenticity and results.
The conversation is about finding a reliable source for oral minoxidil and finasteride in the EU after a previous supplier stopped offering them. Suggestions include Pharmacy Tristaina in Andorra and bgpharma, with users sharing their experiences and dosages.
