What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new topical solution, TDM-105795, for its potential to treat male pattern baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). The study aims to determine if the treatment can safely and effectively promote hair growth in men with moderate to severe thinning on the top of their heads. Participants will receive either the actual treatment or a placebo (a substance with no active treatment) to compare results. Ideal candidates are men with noticeable hair loss at the temples and crown, without scalp conditions like infections or eczema. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

Yes, you will need to stop taking certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you must stop using systemic prescription medications, herbal supplements, and over-the-counter medications within 14 days before the trial starts, except for acetaminophen at less than 3g/day, which is allowed until 24 hours before the trial begins.

Is there any evidence suggesting that TDM-105795 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that TDM-105795 has been safe for people in studies so far. Earlier research tested different strengths of the TDM-105795 cream. Participants handled these strengths well, and researchers found no major safety issues. This indicates that the treatment did not cause any serious side effects or problems for those in the studies. While the current trial remains in its early stages, existing evidence suggests that TDM-105795 is likely safe for people based on previous trials.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Unlike the standard treatments for androgenetic alopecia, which often include oral medications like finasteride or topical minoxidil, TDM-105795 is a topical solution that acts directly on the affected area. Researchers are particularly excited because TDM-105795 offers a new formulation that targets the hair follicles with varying concentrations, from 0.0025% to 0.02%, potentially increasing its effectiveness. Moreover, as a topical solution, it might minimize systemic side effects that can occur with oral treatments. This approach could provide a more targeted and safer option for individuals experiencing hair loss.

What evidence suggests that TDM-105795 might be an effective treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia?

Research shows that TDM-105795, which participants in this trial may receive, may help treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a common type of hair loss. In earlier studies, this topical solution increased the number of thicker, more visible hairs by an average of 24.3 in the treated area. Tests on mice also showed that higher doses of TDM-105795 led to more hair growth. Importantly, the treatment showed little to no absorption into the body, suggesting fewer side effects. These findings indicate that TDM-105795 could be a promising option for those experiencing pattern baldness.23567
