Investigational medications in the treatment of alopecia

Georgann A Poulos et al. Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2005 Feb.

Abstract

Androgenetic alopecia (hereditary thinning) is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. Chemotherapy-induced alopecia is another distressing cause of hair loss. With a better understanding of follicular biology and the signals responsible for hair growth and regression, targeted therapies for hair loss are being investigated. This review summarises investigational medications for androgenetic and chemotherapy-induced alopecia that are in preclinical stages or later.
