Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 21, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2021 Sounds interesting. It would be great to have something that works with no side effects. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Hopefully we can get it in the next few years. I do hope Breezula will give some updates on the status of their phase 3 trials soon, things have been awfully quiet for a while now, but I assume mostly just due to the pandemic and I do believe this will most likely be available on the market to treat AA in the next 3 or so years. However, just for anyone reading who thinks it will be completely side free, it won't, at least according to the clinical trials so far. Whilst it indeed shouldn't have the usual reported sexual side effects (it shouldn't go systemic due to its rapid degradation to a harmless/non androgen interfering metabolite upon entering the bloodstream), the studies did show that some participants (I think it was around about 5 percent I can't remember at this point) experienced complete shutdown of their HPA axis, which is not ideal for obvious reasons. Not too dissimilar to people using exogenous hormones/abusing steroids who then need to go on to do a PCT to safely restart their endocrine system. I think all of the people who experienced this did recover completely on their own after a month or two, so it's not really overly dangerous if it did happen, but I don't really see how people who experienced this side effect would ever be able to use CB as a viable treatment as you cannot go about your life with a shutdown HPA axis... As a side note, whilst I hope Breezula/CB does come to market as it's another tool in the toolbox, I'm more excited about Kintor, a Chinese company who are moving extremely fast. They have just announced acceptance for phase 2 of clinical trials in the US for their topical called Pyrilutamide (something similar to breezula, perhaps arguably better than it) whilst they have completed phase 2 trials already for the drug in China. I assume the results must have been promising in the Chinese phase 2 trials if the FDA accepted them to do the same in the U.S so quickly. At this point I really wouldn't be surprised if it came to market before breezula did. Hopefully without any side effects at all. They are also about to start Phase 1 trials for another topical, this time an androgen degrader, which would blow both breezula and their own pyrilutamide out of the water in terms of effectiveness. Early days for it though, so who knows, but if there are no serious side effects etc, that could really be as close to a cure as we can get from a topically applied drug. Really it would be way more effective than finasteride, let alone breezula. Edited July 21, 2021 by JDEE0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairRun Posted July 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2021 Could we just apply winlevi to the scalp and see what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
