Could be used to reduce sebum and dht In conjunction with other meds/therapies?They are looking into the efficacy with combating hair loss.

Senior Member ciaus Posted September 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yea the 1% is for acne, there's a hair loss version called Breezula, 7.5% strength seems to give best results. Blocks dht at the receptor level on your head instead of lowering the dht that flows through your body. https://hairverse.com/clascoterone-breezula/ //// Right now, Cassiopea has completed phase II trials for the drug. But they are waiting to finalize the development process with the Phase III program and FDA supervision. The company still awaits FDA approval for its phase III trial design and to grant them a special protocol assessment. Eventual approval by the FDA will depend on the results from phase III analysis. The trial cannot start unless the FDA first gives the company a special protocol assessment. With the current trajectory of things, Cassiopea projects that the phase III project will begin soon. Hopefully, the trial will be completed by 2022, and the formulation will possibly hit the market in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Struggle Posted September 4, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2020 I heard that the phase III trial will begin in Q4 2020 Or Q1 2021, it was delayed due to COVID spreading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GE90 Posted September 4, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) The phase 2 breezula trials showed efficacy at even the 2.5%BID category... as such it's possible 1% winlevi may have efficacy for MPB.... thoughts?
