Can your own blood help regrow hair? new trial tests PRP for scarring hair loss
NCT ID NCT06998433
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help treat central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a scarring hair loss that mostly affects women of African descent. PRP is made from a patient's own blood and is thought to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The trial will compare PRP to a placebo in 56 women, with all participants continuing standard topical steroid treatment. The goal is to see if PRP can stop hair loss and encourage regrowth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a type of scarring hair loss that currently has no standard treatment guidelines.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. PRP is generally safe but may cause minor discomfort from injections, and there is a small risk of disease progression.
