This study compares two existing medicines — tofacitinib and methotrexate — to see which one is better at treating severe alopecia areata, a condition that causes patchy or total hair loss. If you have severe hair loss, this trial might help you find an effective treatment.
This trial tests a new drug, HCW9302, that targets the immune system to help hair regrow in people with alopecia areata (including extensive forms like totalis or universalis). It may be an option for adults who have not responded well to other treatments.
This study compares two medications, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate, to see which works better for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss at the front of the scalp. You'll be assigned to one of the two treatments, and your progress will be followed during routine care.
This study tests whether a methotrexate lotion or minoxidil lotion is better at regrowing hair in people with patchy hair loss on the scalp. You will use one of the treatments for a period of time, and the doctors will check your progress.
This trial tests if methotrexate, a medication that calms the immune system, can help adults with moderate-to-severe eczema that hasn't improved with creams or other treatments. You'll either receive methotrexate or a placebo to see which works better.
This study compares two treatments for patchy hair loss on the scalp: a vitamin D-like cream (calcipotriol) and steroid injections (intralesional steroids). It aims to see which is more effective at regrowing hair in adults with less than half of the scalp affected.
