Clinical Trials for Avodart and Hypothyroid Hair Loss

Thank you for everything that you do. I truly appreciate your passion for Hair Loss.

I have 2 questions:

1. Do you have any news about the clinical trials that were going with Avodart as a treatment for MPB. I would think that those would be almost finished now?
2. What are characteristics of hair loss due to Hypothyroid, and how does that type of hair loss differ from MPB?

1. I do not know when the Avodart (dutasteride) studies on treating hair loss will be complete. It may depend upon what is found after the results on safety and effectiveness are evaluated.
2. Hypothyroid hair loss is non-patterned (diffuse) hair loss, whereas normal male pattern baldness (MPB) will follow patterns as outlined in the Norwood Chart.
