Aclaris Therapeutics Announces First Patient Dosed in a Phase 2 Clinical Trial of ATI-501 Oral Suspension in Patients with Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis

Aclaris Therapeutic, a dermatologist-led biopharmaceutical company committed to identifying, developing, and commercializing innovative therapies to address significant unmet needs in aesthetic and medical dermatology and immunology, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in Aclaris’ Phase 2 clinical trial of its JAK inhibitor product candidate ATI-501 oral suspension in patients with two forms of Alopecia Areata (AA) known as Alopecia Totalis (AT) and Alopecia Universalis (AU).

AA is an autoimmune dermatologic condition typically characterized by patchy non-scarring hair loss on the scalp and body. More severe forms of AA include AT, which is total scalp hair loss, and AU, which is total hair loss on the scalp and body.

This multicenter, randomized study, known as AUAT-201, will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ATI-501 oral suspension for the treatment of AU or AT in adult subjects. Aclaris intends to enroll approximately 80 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of stable AU or AT. Enrolled subjects will receive either ATI-501 or placebo for 6 months.

The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean change from baseline in the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score at Week 24. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include the change from baseline in the Alopecia Density and Extent Score (ALODEX) score and various clinician and patient-reported outcomes.

“This trial is the first step in evaluating the potential clinical benefit of ATI-501 oral suspension in treating patients with the alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis forms of alopecia areata,” said Dr. Stuart Shanler, Chief Scientific Officer of Aclaris. “This is an important step forward in understanding the clinical utility of our JAK inhibitors in patients with AA.”

About Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that results in partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and body. The scalp is the most commonly affected area, but any hair-bearing site can be affected alone or together with the scalp.

The onset of the disease can occur throughout life and affects both women and men. AA can be associated with serious psychological consequences, including anxiety and depression.

AA affects up to 2.0% of people globally at some point during their lifetime (i.e. incidence) and up to 0.2% of people are affected at any given time (i.e. prevalence). There are currently no drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of AA.

Over 200 Women Sue WEN Hair Products For Causing Severe Hair Loss And Scalp Irritation

Over 200 Women Sue WEN Hair Products For Causing Severe Hair Loss And Scalp Irritation

More than 200 women have joined a class-action lawsuit against the popular WEN all-natural hair products, claiming the sulfate-free shampoo and conditioners made their hair fall out.

Created by celebrity stylist Chaz Dean, WEN hair products are boosted as a natural alternative to regular shampoos.

The products clean hair without using damaging sulfates, a chemical compound used to separate dirt and oil from hair or skin, and according to the product’s website, “It takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner.”

Unfortunately, according to a large number of women from multiple U.S. states, the only results they saw from using WEN products was severe hair loss.

BuzzFeed News reported that one user noticed hair loss after just one wash. In addition to hair loss, many women claim that WEN products have caused multiple injuries to their head and scalp, such as rashes, scalp irritation, hair breakage, and hair discoloration.

One angry customer claimed that she had to quit her job as a professional model after she started using WEN products. “After using this product my scalp and face broke out in boils and my hair fell out in chunks.

This shampoo destroyed my life,” she wrote on a product review, as reported by The Daily Beast.

According to the court papers, the company was aware of the unpleasant side effect and still failed to warn users.

And although it’s true that many WEN users are happy with their results and praise theproducts,simply perusing Amazon reviews will show that many users also complained that the hair products caused them to lose large amounts of hair dating back many years.

According to Kelsey Smart, a stylist at Fox & Jane salon in New York, the reason for the mixed reviews may have to do with WEN’s effect on different hair types.

In response to the claims and the lawsuit, Joe Hixson, a spokesperson for WEN told BuzzFeed News that the complaints only represent a small fraction of its customers. “[We] intend to vigorously contest the allegations made against our products,” he said.

Unfortunately, baldness in women is a complicated health issue, which means it could be difficult to prove in court that WEN definitely led to these women’s hair loss.

WebMD claims that everything from genetics to certain medications can lead to female hair loss.

Nonetheless, a lawyer for the plaintiff told The Daily Beast that at the moment, the parties are attempting to settle their differences outside of court.

WEN has released the following statement to Buzzfeed:

“We take great pride in the quality of our products and believe every product meets our high standards. We want all of our customers to have positive experiences with our products, and we encourage any customer with any questions to contact us.

With well over 10 million Wen products shipped since 2008, our customers’ overwhelmingly positive response to Wen is a testament to the benefits it can deliver for its users. These benefits are reflected in consistently high rankings from independent consumer product sites as well.

Importantly, there is no scientific evidence whatsoever to support any claim that our hair care products caused anyone to lose their hair.

There are many reasons why individuals may lose their hair, all unrelated to Wen hair care products. We intend to vigorously contest the allegations made against our products.”

Almost a Third of Women in UK suffer hair loss

Almost a Third of Women in UK suffer hair loss

New research commissioned by hair expert Philip Kingsley reveals that hair loss and thinning in women is a real problem.

In the study of over 2,000 women in the UK, more than one in five (21%) said they are suffering from hair loss or hair thinning while 9% of women had previously suffered and a further quarter who did not have the problem themselves, had friends or family that do.

Combining those women suffering and those who have suffered before, numbers swell to almost 30%. Philip Kingsley clinics also report that 80% of all female clients that attend their clinics in London and New York present with this concern.

Whilst it is clear that hair loss and hair thinning is age-related, with over half of sufferers being aged between 45-64 (51%), the research supports the fact that it can happen at any time in women’s lives with 1 in 8 being under 35.

Suffering from hair loss or hair thinning is devastating with many admitting that the condition causes them to withdraw from general day-to-day activities such as having photos taken (51%), going out to social events (47%) and meeting new people (40%).

In addition, the majority of women said that the condition made them feel self-conscious (58%) and anxious (51%), others stated embarrassed (45%), concerned (43%) and less confident (40%).

Philip Kingsley, the esteemed trichologist, hair and scalp expert comments: “The percentage of women with hair thinning (reduced volume) is much larger than is commonly thought as many suffer in silence.

Sadly, a third of those suffering said that they haven’t done anything to address the problem, perhaps as they feel too embarrassed to seek help.

These results show that hair loss and thinning in women is a real problem – we are all familiar with male hair loss and thinning as it’s more visible, but the study shows that a significant proportion of women suffer from it too.

Of course, adverse changes in hormones affect the hair, but crash dieting, processed foods, increased day-to-day stress and certain oral contraceptive pills are also factors that play a role.

“Hair loss is extremely complicated and the unfortunate aspect is that the person is not aware of reduced volume (thinner hair) until they have lost 15% of volume, which means it started long before they noticed it.

Some do not seek help early enough or from true hair and scalp experts to solve the problem successfully.”

“Female hair loss is the main focus of the work we do in the Trichological clinics in London and New York and we have seen a significant rise in its prevalence in recent years.

In fact, over 80% of the clients we see each week are suffering from some kind of female hair loss. I think that this in part, is due to hair loss becoming less of a taboo subject. Women are speaking out about hair loss more – and are also seeking help earlier.

Unfortunately, what is also clear is that they are not seeking specialised enough help to address the problem i.e. trichologists who are experts in scalp and hair health,” adds Graham Fish, chairman of the Philip Kingsley Group.

Seven practical tips from Philip Kingsley to help women identify the early signs of hair loss and thinning:

1.  Your hair is shedding more than is normal for you for longer than two months. You will notice more hair fall than usual when you shampoo, when you brush your hair and perhaps on your pillow and clothes. However, it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day, so if you leave more days between shampooing than you usually do, the amount of hair fall you see will be more noticeable.

2.    You feel your ponytail is thinner than it once was.

3.    Your scalp is becoming more visible and/or you notice a reduction in overall volume or density.

4.    You find your hair is not able to grow as long as it used to.

5.    Your ends are finer than they used to be, yet it is not breaking. In this instance you may notice many new hairsof different lengths growing from your scalp.

6.    You notice your hair is gradually becoming finer at the front, crown or temple regions of your scalp.

7    You notice excessive growth of hair on other parts of your body, such as your face, chest or arms.

“If you notice one or more of the above, you should seek help as soon as possible to preserve what you do have and to best maximise hair growth,” says Kingsley.

Hairdressers can also play a vital role in helping to identify the problem, often before the women themselves as they are well-placed to notice differences between visits whereas women themselves often don’t notice gradual changes.

Taking a holistic approach, one that addresses the problem inside and out, is the best way to treat and minimise the issue at home.

Trichotherapy by Philp Kingsley combines a protein spray, scalp drops and dietary supplements for a three-pronged approach.

Philip Kingsley urges women to not leave it until it’s too late and seek treatment as soon as they notice signs of thinning or excessive hair loss.

Flora Fuentes to present at West Palms' first hair loss seminar for women

Capilia by Hair Professional To Host Women’s Hair Loss Solutions Seminar

Capilia by Hair Professionals in West Palm Beach, FL, will be hosting a Women’s Hair Loss Solutions Seminar on Monday, November 2, 2015 from 6pm- 8pm.

Women are invited to come learn about the causes and solutions for women’s hair loss.

This event will address the newest options, technological advances and most recent FDA approval for treatment of women’s hair loss.

More than 30 million women in the US have noticeably thinning hair loss, yet it’s still a taboo subject.

While 90% of baldness in men is caused by genetics, there are so many more factors that can impact women.

Not knowing where to go or who to trust, many women withdraw socially and suffer in silence. Celebrities will talk about their hair extensions and fashion wigs, but few speak out about the real issues of hair loss.

“This is why educational seminars are so important,” says Andrea Green, co-owner of Capilia by Hair Professionals, who has regularly featured articles in the “Ask the Expert” Health and Beauty Section of the Palm Beach Post.

“Once the medical field has ruled out any underlying health issues that need treatment, there is little else they can offer these women.

It takes years of training in this specialized field to understand the phases of hair growth, what causes hair loss and what the newest solutions are.

All women attending our seminar will receive a free microscopic scalp and hair analysis which will help evaluate their individual situation.”

The guest speaker will be hair loss specialist Flora Fuentes from NYC, who has over twenty years’ experience in hair restoration and is also the U.S. representative for Cesare Ragazzi out of Italy.

Well-known in Europe for their scientific research into hair and scalp disorders and effective treatments, Cesare Ragazzi Laboratories introduced their expansion into the US Market in 2014.

Capilia by Hair Professionals in West Palm Beach, FL was one of the originally chosen hair loss studios in the US to team with CRL.

Dan and Andrea Green, having over 50 years of combined experience in the field of hair replacement, have attended several national and international conferences this past spring and summer where the newest products and services for women’s hair loss were featured. “We are eager to share our information with women in the Palm Beach area.”

There is no charge to attend this Women’s Hair Loss Educational Seminar, which will be held on Monday, November 2nd, from 6 pm to 8 pm at Capilia by Hair Professionals, 5651 Corporate Way, Suite 2, West Palm Beach, FL.

Refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres will be served, along with raffles for hair and beauty products.

Having lost her hair at age 11 due to Alopecia, Kayla understands the emotional toll of losing your hair and not knowing what to do.

Kayla competed for Miss Delaware, at first without hair, then she found her best solution and went on to win Miss Delaware 2010 and was a finalist in Miss America pageant in 2011.

So many female entertainers admit to wearing wigs and having hair extensions, but no one ever admits to hair loss.

It’s still a taboo subject, and most women feel ashamed as if they have caused their hair loss. It’s kept a dark secret!

Kayla is speaking out, bringing focus to women’s hair loss and education on what are the causes and newest solutions now available to women.

Additional speaker will be Rhonda McCarthy, national-renowned hair loss expert from Ft Lauderdale, FL. “Thirty-million women in the US suffer from obvious hair loss, and most, not knowing what to do or where to go, tend to be depressed and often drop out of life socially,” says Rhonda.

“Our role is to connect women to local studios within their geographic area. We seek the most reputable hair loss studios that offer multiple solutions and they must qualify to our standards before being approved to be included in the Women’s Hair Loss Seminars.

We’re excited to be returning to Hair Solutions of Long Island.”

These no-obligation seminars are being hosted by Hair Solutions of Long Island on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, in Levittown and on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, in Commack. “Women lose their hair for so many more reasons than men,” says Donna Emerson, manager of Commack, “Knowing what’s causing your hair loss is the first step to finding a solution.”

Dena Caprioli, manager of Levittown, adds, “The women who attended our March seminars had so much fun, they didn’t want to leave.

Kayla was so warm, friendly and encouraging.

Learning that there are options inspired everyone.”

Spironolactone Seems Effective for Female Pattern Hair Loss

Spironolactone may be an effective treatment for female pattern hair loss, especially among patients with signs of hyperandrogenism, according to a study published in the October issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Spironolactone may be an effective treatment for female pattern hair loss (FPHL), especially among patients with signs of hyperandrogenism, according to a study published in the October issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Shannon Famenini, from the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues examined the effectiveness of spironolactone therapy in women with FPHL in a retrospective study involving 166 patients.

A survey study was performed in 64 women to examine the severity of disease, history of thyroid disease, and presence or absence of acne or hirsutism. Use and evaluation of the effectiveness of spironolactone was also reported.

The researchers found that none of the 19 patients on spironolactone reported worse thinning in the retrospective study.

In the survey study, of the 20 patients on spironolactone, 15 percent reported worse thinning, while 45 percent reported no change, and 30 percent reported mild improvement or increased thickness.

There was no correlation between spironolactone response and being on an oral contraceptive pill (P = 0.7); patients with acne or hirsutism had a significantly better response to spironolactone (P = 0.05).

No link was seen between spironolactone dose and response in either study.

“Combining data from our studies, 74.3 percent of patients receiving spironolactone reported stabilization or improvement of their disease (n = 29/39),” the authors write.

Advance Techniques of Richmond Sponsors Women’s Hair Loss Seminar

womens hair loss

Advance Techniques is sponsoring a no-obligation Women’s Hair Loss Seminar on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The guest speaker is Kayla Martell, 2011 Miss America Finalist, who will be speaking out for women’s hair loss awareness.

More than 30 million women in the US struggle with hair loss, yet few know where to go or who to trust for answers.

Kayla lost her hair at age 11, yet went on to fulfill her dream of being in the Miss America pageant, something she accomplished years after struggling with her hair loss and not knowing what to do.

Kayla is now an advocate speaking out for women’s hair loss awareness.

When participating in a focus study to help women understand the causes and solutions available for hair loss, Kayla and national hair loss expert Rhonda McCarthy both realized a consistent theme: women’s hair loss is a taboo subject.

Other than the medical field evaluating and treating any contributory illnesses, they offer little advice on how to deal with hair loss.

Celebrities flaunt their full heads of hair and admit to using hair extensions or wigs, but little is ever revealed about their hair loss, if they experience it.

Both women say that society tends to accept balding men, but perceives women with hair loss as being ill or having bad hygiene.

Realizing there was a great need for education, Rhonda and Kayla started touring the US conducting free seminars.

Rhonda McCarthy from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, will be addressing the causes of women’s hair loss and solutions, including the newest FDA cleared laser treatment.

“Women experiencing thinning hair or obvious hair loss tend to withdraw from society, being ashamed and thinking they did something to cause their hair loss,” says Rhonda. “It’s a very emotional experience for these women to finally find answers!”

The October 6, 2015, Women’s Hair Loss Seminar is being hosted by Advance Techniques, 9550 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 201, Richmond, VA 23235, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

To RSVP or get additional information go to http://www.advancetechniquesva.com.

“We have been hearing about these seminars for years and are excited to now be bringing this event to Virginia,” says Advance Techniques’ Sally Peace. Co-owner Wendy Taylor adds, “Please come out and learn your options, meet Rhonda and Kayla, bring a friend or family member. It’s important to get the facts in a fun, and non-threatening environment.”

Tuesday, October 6, 2015, Women’s Hair Loss Seminar Registration: There is no charge to attend this event. Seating is limited.

Refreshments will be served.

All women attending will receive a complimentary, microscopic hair and scalp analysis in a confidential consultation to address their specific concerns.

Is Your Hair Trying to Tell You Something

/in /by

While it’s often said that clothes make the man, it can be argued that good hair makes the woman. A gorgeous, full head of shiny hair can be any woman’s best feature, hands down.

But hair loss experts warn that subtle changes in the hair can signal early signs of hair loss in younger women that should be addressed before hair loss progresses.

Paul C. Cotterill, MD, a hair restoration surgeon based in Toronto and past president of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), advised that younger women should pay close attention to these three warnings signs that could indicate the start of hair loss.

Here are 3 warning signs of hair loss for women:

1 – Increase in overall scalp hair shedding: Normal growing scalp hair sheds at a rate up to 100-150 hairs per day. When the body is under stress — both physiologically or psychologically — hair shedding can increase to 200-225 hairs per day.

2 – Decrease in the overall volume of hair: When women are losing their hair or experiencing rapid shedding, they may notice that their ponytail is getting less thick. There is less hair to tie back and more see-through to the scalp.

3 – Change in hair texture: Sometimes when early hair loss occurs, the hair may start to become finer, not grow as fast, and/or break more easily.

“There are many factors that can affect scalp hair growth, and extreme dieting coupled with extreme exercising — both of which can be common in women in their 20s and 30s — are frequent hair loss culprits that women may not suspect,” said Dr. Cotterill. “When there’s extreme weight loss, or rapid weight loss over a short period of time without proper diet, that puts more stress on the entire body, including more hair falling out than normal.”

Dr. Cotterill explained that in addition to extreme dieting and exercise, several other factors can contribute to hair loss or hair damage in women. These triggers include:

  • Chronic stress
  • Iron deficiency
  • Elevated male hormones
  • Thyroid condition
  • Family history of scalp hair loss
  • Harsh styling products
  • Chlorine left on hair after swimming

“It is important for young women experiencing scalp hair loss to not put off seeing a qualified hair restoration physician, as a thorough history and physical should be performed on women to determine the cause of the hair shedding, loss or breakage,” said Dr. Cotterill. “Many questions need to be asked to rule out a medical condition or a lifestyle change that can contribute to hair loss.

A patient’s family history of hair loss also needs to be addressed, as this is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. Once the proper examination is performed, only then can the physician offer a valid opinion with proven treatment options.”

According to results of a new member survey conducted by the ISHRS, the number of women seeking help for hair loss is on the rise worldwide. The percent of surgical hair restoration patients that were female increased from 13.7 percent in 2012 to 15.3 percent in 2014 (a 12 percent increase).

Similarly, the percent of female non-surgical hair restoration patients also increased over this two-year period — from 33.2 percent to 40.1 percent (a 21 percent increase).

To help patients understand the causes and available treatments for hair loss, the ISHRS has produced a series of videos available on its website (http://www.ishrs.org) entitled “Why do women lose their hair?” and “Why do guys lose their hair?”

About the ISHRS

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) is a global non-profit medical association and the leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration with more than 1,200 members throughout 70 countries worldwide.

Trinity Lace Wigs & Unisex Salon To Sponsor Womens Hair Loss Seminar

Trinity Lace Wigs & Unisex Salon To Sponsor Women’s Hair Loss Seminar, Tuesday, September 15, 2015

Kayla Martell, former Miss America Finalist, will be guest speaker at a no obligation Women’s Hair Loss Seminar scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, 2015, sponsored by Trinity Lace Wigs & Unisex Salon in San Antonio, TX.

More than 30 million women have thinning or significant hair loss, yet it still remains a taboo subject and women are suffering in silence, not knowing where to go or who to trust.

This event is part of a national tour to help educate women on the newest technology and advancements in hair loss treatment.

Learn the specifics about recent approval for low-level laser therapy and success combined with trichology treatment.

At age 11, Kayla Martell lost her hair due to Alopecia. Yet, she dreamed of being in the Miss America pageant. She competed several times without hair, not knowing that she had options. She was proud to be herself!

After a judge suggested she do something about her baldness, she searched and found her solution. Kayla jokingly says “you need hair to pin on the crown!”

Attending a focus study for women with hair loss, Kayla and national hair loss expert, Rhonda McCarthy, were shocked to hear about the women’s frustrations of not knowing where to go or who to trust.

Neither their doctors nor hair stylists knew what to do beyond testing to ensure there wasn’t an underlying condition. “So many women blame themselves, thinking they did something to cause their thinning hair” says Rhonda. “Not knowing where to find help is the reason we started this national tour, now in its third year.”

“It’s so rewarding to meet with women throughout the United States and share our common bond” says Kayla. “We have so much fun at these events, sharing stories and seeing the look on their faces when they discover that they have options. No one wants to leave, it’s so emotional and joyful!”

“It’s a blessing to be able to sponsor the Women’s Hair Loss Seminar and to bring Kayla and Rhonda to San Antonio” says Stephanie Anderson, Trichologist and owner of Trinity Lace Wigs and Unisex Salon. “It’s like a ministry to me because before and after are so hugely different. Everyone wants beautiful hair that looks natural. It’s thrilling to see each woman achieve her goal.”

The Women’s Hair Loss Seminar will be held on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, 6:30 – 8:30pm at Trinity Lace Wig and Unisex Salon, 7400 Blanco Road, Suite 111, San Antonio, TX 78216.

The event is free and so is the complimentary hair and scalp analysis. Bring a friend or relative. With limited seating, please RSVP. Refreshments will be served.

Miss America Finalist to be Guest Speaker at Women’s Hair Loss Seminar

At age 11, Kayla Martell lost her hair due to Alopecia, but that didn’t stop her from being a finalist in the Miss America pageant in 2011.

Like Martell, more than 30 million women suffer from hair loss.

Now, she’s on a national tour to educate women on new technology and advancements in hair loss treatments. She will be at a free seminar on Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at Trinity Lace Wigs & Unisex Salon at 7400 Blanco Road, less than half a mile outside Loop 410.

Stephanie Anderson, owner of Trinity Lace Wigs, said because the advancements in hair loss, it’s making it easier for the average person to afford solutions – which was once something that was once beyond the average pocketbook and targeted mainly to businessmen.

“The realization of thinning hair or any level of hair loss can be devastating to a woman. We want you to know that no matter what your level of hair loss, there is a solution. You can have hair that looks natural and beautiful!” stated Mrs. Anderson

Martell, along with national hair loss expert, Rhonda McCarthy, started this national tour three years ago to help women with their frustration of not knowing where to go.

The Women’s Hair Loss Seminar will address the specifics about the FDA’s recent approval for low-level laser therapy and the success combined with trichology treatment.

It will also touch upon everyday things women can do to prevent further hair loss.
