NCT ID NCT07563036

First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at a protein called JAK2 in the scalps of 25 men with male pattern baldness. Researchers will compare JAK2 levels in balding and non-balding areas, then see if 3 months of minoxidil 5% lotion changes those levels. The goal is to better understand the biology of hair loss, not to test a new treatment.
