Dr. Neil Sadick’s Manhattan office, Sadick Dermatology, is one of 44 US sites participating in the Phase 2/3 clinical trial of VDPHL01.“I emphasize non-hormonal because the only FDA -approved oral treatment for pattern hair loss has a hormonal mechanism of action and is associated with potential hormonal side effects like erectile dysfunction , decreased libido and suicidal thoughts,”
“I can tell you that VDPHL01 has a unique profile unlike current FDA-approved treatments, which are associated with cardiac activity and unwanted sexual side effects,” he continued.VDPHL01 is a non-hormonal pill that shows promise in restoring hair without the hassle of topical treatments and the potentially serious side effects of hormonal medication.VDPHL01 is being studied as a once- or twice-daily pill.
While finasteride reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth, it’s intended only for men and can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased sex drive and depression, among other potential side effects.Minoxidil increases blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating hair growth. When asked about VDPHL01’s potential side effects, Sadick said that conversation is “best had between a study investigator and a potential trial participant.”Sadick is seeking healthy men between 18 and 65 living in the NYC area and experiencing pattern hair loss. Applicants must be willing to keep their hair at least a quarter-inch long throughout the study.
