Technoderma Medicines Inc. has made significant strides in the development of a potential solution for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a condition commonly known as male pattern baldness. Through their Phase 2a clinical trial, the company evaluated TDM-105795, a topical solution aimed at combating AGA. Titled “A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle Controlled, Parallel Group, Multi-Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TDM-105795 in Male Subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia,” this trial has yielded promising results. Notably, both low- and high-dose formulations of TDM-105795 showcased substantial increases in total area hair count (TAHC) when compared to baseline measurements. With 71 male participants experiencing mild to moderate AGA in the temple and vertex regions, the trial delved into the effectiveness of TDM-105795 across various dosage levels. This introduction sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the trial’s methodology, results, and implications for the future of AGA treatment.
WHAT IS TDM-105795
TDM-105795, an experimental medication designed to mimic the actions of thyroid hormones, is currently under development as a prospective topical remedy for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Encouraging findings from both preclinical and initial clinical trials have been reported. The suspected mode of action involves the activation of dormant hair follicle stem cells and the promotion of the hair follicles’ growth phase, thereby stimulating hair growth. Notably, early data suggests that TDM-105795 exhibits minimal absorption into the systemic circulation and demonstrates a favorable safety profile.
PHASE 2 TRIALS OF TDM-105795 CONCLUDED
Technoderma Medicines Inc. has concluded a Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating TDM-105795, a topical solution designed to address androgenetic alopecia (AGA), commonly known as male pattern baldness. The trial, titled “A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle Controlled, Parallel Group, Multi-Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TDM-105795 in Male Subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia,” yielded promising results. Notably, both low- and high-dose formulations of the topical solution demonstrated significant increases in total area hair count (TAHC) compared to baseline.
The trial involved 71 male participants with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in the temple and vertex regions, as indicated by scores of 3v, 4, or 5 on the modified Norwood-Hamilton Scale. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: low dose (0.0025%), high dose (0.02%), or a placebo group. The treatment regimen consisted of applying the solution once daily for a duration of 16 weeks. The study assessed the mean non-vellus target area hair count (TAHC) at both baseline and endline within a 1cm2 test area. Results revealed a TAHC change from baseline of 24.3 hairs with the 0.02% treatment dose, 20.3 hairs with the 0.0025% treatment dose, and 14 hairs with the placebo treatment. Furthermore, both treatment strengths were well tolerated, with no reported safety issues and minimal systemic exposure.
CONCLUSION
The completion of Technoderma Medicines Inc.’s Phase 2a clinical trial marks a significant advancement in the quest to address androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a condition that affects millions worldwide. Through the evaluation of TDM-105795, a topical solution designed to combat AGA, promising results have emerged. The demonstrated effectiveness of both low- and high-dose formulations in increasing total area hair count (TAHC) underscores the potential of TDM-105795 as a viable treatment option for individuals with mild to moderate AGA. Furthermore, the favorable safety profile exhibited by TDM-105795, coupled with its minimal systemic exposure, highlights its potential as a well-tolerated therapeutic agent. As research continues to evolve in the field of hair loss treatment, the findings from this trial offer hope for those seeking effective solutions for AGA. Moving forward, further investigation and clinical trials will be instrumental in fully elucidating the efficacy and safety of TDM-105795, paving the way for its potential introduction as a novel treatment for AGA.
