A new drug for hair regrowth has emerged. It may be the most powerful solution for restoring hair. When combined with minoxidil, finasteride or dutasteride could be particularly effective
PP405 is a novel, non-invasive, topical small molecule designed to reactivate dormant hair follicle stem cells and restart hair growth. Through a regenerative medicine approach, the treatment focuses on addressing the metabolic processes that regulate the activation and inactivation phases of hair follicle stem cells. Early results from a Phase 1 trial show that PP405 was well-tolerated and demonstrated statistically significant activation of hair follicle stem cells. In 2018, Pelage Pharmaceuticals licensed the intellectual property to PP405 and related topical small molecules from UCLA. Information on the Phase 2a study can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov.
