learn HMI-115
Experimental antibody that blocks the prolactin receptor
- Is HMI-115 taken orally, applied on the scalp, or injected? In trials, HMI-115 is given by injection under the skin. It is an investigational drug, not approved or available anywhere.
- Who can benefit the most from HMI-115: men, women, or people in transition? There is no published trial showing that any one group benefits most from HMI-115: the only released human efficacy data is a company press release on a 16-person Phase 1b, and it reported hair-count results for the 12 men only.
- Is HMI-115 considered a safe option, or does it have strong side effects? HMI-115 is an experimental injected antibody, not a hormone blocker. Its published trials (a 29-woman Phase 1 safety study and a 12-week, 142-woman Phase 2 in endometriosis) reported acceptable tolerability but were too small and short to establish safety, and no peer-reviewed safety data exist for its use in hair loss.
