June 2021 in “EClinicalMedicine” The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ALRV5XR in women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or telogen effluvium (TE) through a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 46 participants. Results showed significant improvements in terminal hair density, with increases ranging from 30.1 to 33.9 hairs/cm² in the ALRV5XR group compared to placebo. The treatment had a high response rate (66.7%) and was well-tolerated with no severe adverse events reported. ALRV5XR demonstrated superior efficacy over standard therapies, suggesting its potential as a new standard of care for female hair loss.
