About this study

Official title: Neurotrophic Effects of Immunophilin Ligands on Human Hair Follicles Grafted Onto Service Combined Immunodeficient (SCID) Mice

The purpose of this study is to determine if immunophilin ligands may have the potential to reverse hair loss.

Read the detailed description

Preliminary experiments in C57BL/6J mice showed that immunophilin ligand FK506 and its non-immunosuppressive analogs, GP11046 and GP11511 were capable of promoting telogen to anagen transition. Since GP11046 and GP11511 possess the neurotrophic properties of FK506 without its immunosuppressant capability, the neural action of these immunophilin ligands may play an important role in the hair cycle. This finding has significant clinical implications in that immunophilin ligands may have the potential to reverse alopecia. To further investigate this possibility we propose to explore the response of transplanted miniaturized scalp hair follicles to topically applied immunophilin ligands.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FK506, GP11046, GP11511Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The average number of terminal hairs per graft will be compared between the control and the treated group.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number of follicles in anagen, catagen and telogen per graft will be averaged for each group. The results will be compared between the control and the treated groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FK506, GP11046, GP11511 in people with Alopecia, run by Hordinsky, Maria K., MD at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The average number of terminal hairs per graft will be compared between the control and the treated group.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Nov 2006.
