VDPHL01 for Female Pattern Hair Loss
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new oral drug, VDPHL01, for treating female pattern hair loss, scientifically known as Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). AGA is a genetic condition where certain hormones cause excessive hair loss. Participants will receive either the new drug or a placebo (a harmless pill with no active drug) in different regimens over 13 months to compare results. Women diagnosed with mild to moderate AGA and who maintain stable hair care habits might be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to the potential availability of a new treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
You may need to stop taking certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, if you are using hormone replacement therapy, oral treatments for hair growth, or certain other medications, you must stop them for a specific period before the trial starts. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to see if they are affected.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that VDPHL01, a new oral drug being tested for hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia), is currently under study for safety. Although specific safety data is not yet available, the drug is now being tested in larger groups, indicating that earlier tests generally found it safe.
In past trials, participants rarely reported serious side effects. It's important to remember that the drug remains under study, and this research will further clarify its safety. For those considering joining the study, the drug's safe tolerance in earlier tests is a positive indication.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for hair loss?
Most treatments for female pattern hair loss, like minoxidil or finasteride, work by stimulating hair follicles or blocking hormones that lead to hair thinning. But VDPHL01 works differently, offering a novel approach by potentially targeting different pathways to promote hair growth. Researchers are excited because it is taken orally, providing a convenient alternative to topical applications. This could mean a new, effective option for women who have seen limited success with existing treatments.
What evidence suggests that VDPHL01 might be an effective treatment for female pattern hair loss?
Studies have shown promising results for VDPHL01 in treating female pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Research indicates that VDPHL01 reduces the hair follicles' strong reaction to hormones, a main cause of AGA. Previous patients experienced improvements in hair thickness and quality, suggesting the treatment's effectiveness. Early findings suggest that VDPHL01 could become a preferred option for managing hair loss in women. This investigational drug is still under study in this trial, where participants may receive VDPHL01 in different dosing regimens or a placebo, but the initial data is encouraging.13467

Trial Overview
The trial tests VDPHL01, an oral medication taken once (QD) or twice daily (BID), against a placebo to see if it's safe and effective in treating female pattern hair loss. The study is double-blind, meaning neither the researchers nor participants know who gets the real drug or placebo.

Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Placebo will be taken orally once a day (QD) in the AM or PM. VDPHL01 will be taken orally once a day (QD) in the AM or PM for the first 6 months of the study. After month 6, subject will continue this same dose regimen for an additional 6 months.
VDPHL01 will be taken orally twice a day (BID), once in the AM and once in the PM for the first 6 months of the study. After month 6, subject will continue VDPHL01 BID for an additional 6 months.
Placebo will be taken orally twice a day (BID), once in the AM and once in the PM for the first 6 months of the study. After month 6, subject will switch to VDPHL01 BID group, and take VDPHL01 orally twice a day (BID), once in the AM and once in the PM for an additional 6 months.
Placebo will be taken orally twice a day (BID), once in the AM and once in the PM for the first 6 months of the study. After month 6, subject will switch to VDPHL01 QD and Placebo QD group, and take placebo orally once a day in the AM or PM; VDPHL01 will be taken orally once a day in the AM or PM for an additional 6 months.
