Can a tiny pill reverse permanent baldness from chemo?
NCT ID NCT03831334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests whether a low-dose oral medication (minoxidil) can help regrow hair in people who have permanent hair loss after chemotherapy. Fourteen adults who finished chemo at least six months ago will take the pill and be checked every 12 weeks for hair regrowth and quality of life changes. The goal is to see if this simple treatment can ease a long-term side effect of cancer therapy.
