Has there been any new studies published on the use of dutasteride for hair loss? I thought a study in Korea was being done.
I’ve mentioned the Korean study before (here, here, and here), but the ClinicalTrials.gov site just says that it was last updated this past September, though no results were posted. So that doesn’t appear to be much help.
The only dutasteride studies I can find relating to the drug as a hair loss treatment are:
- Bioequivalence Study of Dutasteride Five 0.1 mg and One 0.5 mg Soft Gelatin Capsules in Healthy Male Volunteers (currently recruiting participants)
- Sexual Function in Men Receiving Dutasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia (not yet open for participant recruitment)
I don’t know more beyond what you can find in those links, though.
I seriously doubt avodart will ever be approved for hair loss and studies are very slow. Nobody seems to care about the drug much in the medical field for hair loss
Hi, GSK are also currently running a 12 month study -http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01831791?term=avodart+alopecia&rank=5
Also a study of dutasteride versus finasteride was released last year -http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01231607?term=avodart+alopecia&rank=2
