Minoxidil for Better Blood Flow in Breast Reconstruction
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying minoxidil (a hair growth medication) to breast tissue during surgery can improve blood flow to the reconstructed breast. It is for women who are having both breasts removed to prevent cancer and have reconstruction on the same day.

This study tests a new treatment called BLOOM43, given before surgery, in women having a mastectomy (breast removal) with immediate breast reconstruction. The treatment aims to improve the success of the reconstruction by preparing the breast tissue.
This trial studies whether a lab-made skin graft (called ADM) used with tissue expanders can improve breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help people who are planning a specific two-step implant reconstruction approach.
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
This early-phase study tests whether using minoxidil as a lotion (topical) or by mouth (oral) can improve hair loss caused by breast cancer hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help you keep or regrow hair while continuing your cancer treatment.
This study tests whether using minoxidil (a hair regrowth lotion) alone or with a low-level red-light therapy cap can help breast cancer patients regrow hair after chemotherapy. It aims to find a safe and effective way to improve hair regrowth after treatment.
This trial tests a 5% minoxidil foam to treat female pattern hair loss. It may help women who have been diagnosed with this condition and have mild to moderate hair thinning.
