Androscience

Dr Rassman,
What are your thoughts on Androscience’s approach to hairloss treatments ?

The Androscience website states the lead compound ASCJ-9 is being developed as a topical treatment for acne and male pattern baldness. And they will have completed a clinical trial for there acne cream soon. And they plan to start trials for MBP toward the end of 2008 (PDF).

Should the acne treatment make it to market would you end prescribing it off label for MBP until a foam arrived?

I only know what I read in the above references. Thanks for sending these, as it makes for interesting reading, but nothing practical that I can see at this time while we wait for the results of the clinical trials. It is far too early to speculate on what I would or wouldn’t prescribe. I’d need to read and learn a lot more about this.
