Androgenetic Alopecia: Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Androgenetic Alopecia Overview

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetically predetermined disorder due to an excessive response to androgens. This condition affects up to 50% of males and females and is characterized by progressive loss of terminal hair of the scalp any time after puberty. In males, hair loss is most prominent in the vertex and frontotemporal regions, while in women, the frontal hairline is typically spared with diffuse hair loss at the crown and top of the head, with loss often marked by a wider center part.

Androgenetic alopecia is usually diagnosed clinically with a history of gradual onset after puberty and, often but not necessarily, a family history of baldness. A biopsy is usually not necessary unless the diagnosis is unclear. Dermoscopy shows miniaturized hair and brown perihilar casts, which can help differentiate from diffuse alopecia areata that mimics male pattern baldness as diffuse alopecia areata will have tapered fractures such as exclamation point hairs.

Topical minoxidil (ROGAINE) and finasteride (PROPECIA) are the two drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for androgenetic alopecia, both of which require at least a 4-6 month trial before noticing improvement and must be used indefinitely to maintain a response. Other off-label therapies used for androgenetic alopecia management include spironolactone, dutasteride, prostaglandin analogs, laser treatments, cyproterone acetate, platelet-rich plasma, and more. Besides drug therapies, hair transplantation is also a preferred surgical approach in androgenetic alopecia treatment. Various emerging drugs in development promise better hair loss control and promote hair regrowth.

Country-wise Androgenetic Alopecia Epidemiology

The epidemiology segment also provides the androgenetic alopecia epidemiology data and findings across the United States, EU4 and the UK, and Japan.

The total prevalent cases of androgenetic alopecia were more than 194,000,000 in the 7MM in 2021.

As per the estimates, EU4 and the UK had the highest prevalent patient population of androgenetic alopecia in 2021.

Androgenetic Alopecia Drug Chapters

The drug chapter segment of the Androgenetic alopecia report encloses a detailed analysis of androgenetic alopecia marketed drugs and late-stage (Phase III, Phase II/III, and Phase II) pipeline drugs. It also helps understand the androgenetic alopecia clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug, and the latest news and press releases.

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss, affecting most men and women. Some researchers have pointed out that androgenetic alopecia is associated with systemic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, endocrine diseases, and mental disorders. For physicians, comorbidities pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, in current clinical practice, androgenetic alopecia is still not fully understood or treated. As androgenetic alopecia can have a significant psychological impact, leading to anxiety and depression, early diagnosis is essential to stop the progression of the disease.

The current treatment plan for androgenetic alopecia mainly includes oral finasteride, topical external use of minoxidil, low-intensity laser, and hair transplantation. Finasteride is a 5a-reductase inhibitor that significantly affects the treatment of androgenetic alopecia; however, it can also exhibit unacceptable side effects in a small subset of patients. Occasionally, side effects persist even after treatment cessation in the form of post-finasteride syndrome. Additionally, minoxidil can cause undesirable adverse effects. Currently, low-intensity laser therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia; however, the effectiveness of its treatment remains controversial.

Androgenetic Alopecia Emerging Drugs

Drug developers are gradually shifting their attention toward androgenetic alopecia to meet the patient pool's current demands and counter the unmet needs of the therapeutic market.

Several companies are working robustly on many new therapies, such as BREEZULA (Cosmo Pharmaceuticals), KX-826 (Kintor Pharmaceutical), and XEOMIN (Merz Aesthetics).

BREEZULA (Cosmo Pharmaceuticals) is a novel topical AR inhibitor that directly inhibits testosterone and DHT binding to local hair follicle androgen receptors. It is quickly metabolized to cortexolone, a metabolite with a known safety profile. Due to its rapid metabolism and local activity, there appears to be limited systemic exposure to BREEZULA; potential systemic side effects are likely minimized. BREEZULA depicted positive results in two Phase II trials, based on which the company plans to conduct a Phase III trial in the second half of 2022.

KX-826 (Kintor Pharmaceutical) is a topical AR antagonist with a specific target and can inhibit the combination of AR and androgen in hair follicle sebaceous glands, thereby treating androgenetic alopecia. KX-826 demonstrated a preliminary positive safety, pharmacokinetics, and tolerability profile in Phase I and Phase Ib clinical trials in the US. Furthermore, KX-826 has shown good efficacy and safety profile in Phase II clinical trials in China for treating androgenetic alopecia male patients. Currently, Kintor Pharma is conducting a Phase II clinical trial of KX-826 in the US and is planning to conduct a Phase III trial in China for male pattern hair loss.

XEOMIN (Merz Aesthetics) is a uniquely purified neuromodulator that uses a patented process called Xtract Technology, which removes all unnecessary proteins from the active toxin molecule. XEOMIN is approved for aesthetic use in the human face, including the treatment of moderate-to-severe wrinkles in the glabella, and is also used as the first-line therapy for blepharospasm. The drug is being evaluated in a Phase II trial to treat androgenetic alopecia.
