Description:
A COMPOSITION FOR TREATMENT OF HAIR LOSS AND REGROWTH

STIMULATION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[001] This invention is directed to a composition for treating and preventing hair loss for male and female, for regrowth stimulation of hair, for replenishing the previously colored hair in male and female, and for the stimulation of healthy and strong finger nail growth, wherein the composition is a nutrition supplement.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] Hairs are elongated filamentous structures projecting from the hair follicles that have an almost unique ability to regenerate. Hairs vary in size and color from coarse, highly-pigmented terminal hair that is produced by large-diameter long follicles, to tiny almost invisible vellus hair produced by miniaturized follicles. The growth of hair is a cyclical process made up of successive phases. These phases include growth phase (anagen) during which the hair is produced, a short regressive phase (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen) during which a new hair is formed and the original hair is shed. The length of time that the follicle is in each phase and the size of the follicle is regulated by androgens.

In non-balding scalp, more than 90% of scalp hair is in anagen. However, in men with Adrogenic alopecia, shortening of the anagen phase lead the hair follicles to undergo progressive miniaturization, shrinking from terminal to vellus-like hair which contributes to a decrease of visible hair over affected areas of the scalp.

[003] Hair loss, also known as alopecia, affects both males and females, and may be caused by genetic factors, auto-immune disorders, chemotherapy, aging, local or systemic disease, etc. Men susceptible to male pattern baldness usually experience the onset sometime in their 20's and it becomes more common as they age.

[004] Alopecia may occur in various parts of the human body, such as scalp, face, limbs, and trunk, and may be generally grouped in the following categories: male or female pattern baldness (e.g., androgenic alopecia), toxic alopecia (e.g.,hair loss due to chemotherapy), alopecia aerata (i.e., hair loss occurs in demarcated areas), and scarring alopecia (e.g., hair loss due to inflammation and tissue destruction).

[005] Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia is a patterned, progressive loss of an excessive amount of hail' from the scalp. Significant Androgenetic alopecia occurs in 50% of men by the age of fifty and 50% of women by the age of sixty. The key factor in the pathogenesis of AGA is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a metabolite of testosterone converted by the enzyme 5a-reductase. DHT was shown to shorten the anagen phase of the hair cycle and mediate miniaturization of the follicles that produce progressively finer hair.

[006] Alopecia areata is a nonscarring form of hair loss which occurs in humans and other species and is thought to be due to an inflammatory reaction caused by autoimmune response directed against the anagen stage hair follicle structure, other factors may influence hair loss, many of which are temporary include stress of an illness or major surgery, medicines, such as those used in chemotherapy, blood thinners, antidepressants, excessive amounts of vitamin A and certain disease states like diabetes.

[007] A variety of treatments that inhibit the activity of 5a-reductase were shown to promote hair regrowth in clinical studies.

These include the orally delivered FDA approved prescription drug Propecia

(finasteride lmg) as well as several botaniceuticals. Unfortunately,

sexual dysfunction side effects were found in post-marketing studies of Propecia.

Other FDA approved treatments for AGA that do not specifically target the

DHT mechanism include the over-the-counter topically administered drug

Rogaine

(minoxidil 5%) and the LaserComb phototherapy device. Hair transplant surgery currently done by follicular unit graft transplantation is an expensive option for hair restoration. In this technique grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding are transplanted to the bald scalp

[008] There exists a need for (i) hair loss treatment in male and female; (ii) for hair regrowth stimulation compositions in male and female; (iii) replenishing the previously colored hair in male and female and (iv) for promoting healthy and strong finger nail growth using nutrition supplements with minimal side effects and/or health risks.

EXAMPLE 5

Formulation B for treating androgenic alopecia in men

[0089]A study design was performed including double blinded, randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial for six months. The study population included 33 healthy male subjects at the age of 18-40 with mild to moderate androgenic alopecia. Randomized study was at 2:1 ratio (23 active and 10 placebo), wherein only 29 where analyzed (3 lost follow up, 1 protocol deviation). Each subject received 90 pills for 6 months. Demographics: The average age was 30.7 ±5.1; average weight: 79.8 ± 13.4; diet: 31 of 33 omnivorous, 2 pescetarian; smoking: 25 never smoked; 8 previously/currently smoking; use of medication: 5 were using medications for stress/anxiety.

Hair characteristics: Hemilton-Norwood classification: 2-5; age hair loss first seen: 22.8 ± 4.2; white hair: none=21, few=ll, many=l; hair loss treatment: Finasteride=4; Minoxydil =5; other=4; none=20.

Dandruff: none.

Methods

[0090]The results were determined using global photographic evaluation, hair count, subjective evaluation, safety and personal experience.

Photographic method

[0091] Photographs taken by the OmniaSystem (Canfield), specialized for esthetic and dermatological indications.

[0092] Global photographs of midline and vertex of baseline vs 6 months were used for this evaluation. The regions assessed were the vertex and superio-frontal regions, as well as overall.

[0093] The validated improvement scale is used in all clinical hair studies and spans from -3=greatly decreased to +3 greatly increased.

[0094]Accountability: 2 subjects had drastic hair cuts and were therefore not included in this analysis.

Hair count method

[0095 ]The target area of hair count (TAHC) was selected from the anterior edge of the balding area, hairs were clipped, and the area was marked with a small medical tattoo.

[0096]A macro-photograph of the TAHC was taken. The photograph included a reference scale.

[0097]Hairs were manually counted in a 1 cm 2 circular area of clipped hair at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

[0098]Hair counters (n=2) were blinded to group allocation.

[0099] White/blond hairs were not counted. [00100] Hair counts included terminal hairs. In several cases it was possible to differentiate between terminal and vellus hairs.

Results

[00101] It was found that thevellus hair counts are decreased, while terminal hairs counts are increased (Figure 2A). In the macro-photograph it can be seen that the terminal hairs replace vellus hairs after 6 months of treatment (Figure 2B).

[00102] Subjects of the active group felt significantly more satisfied with all aspects of hair appearance, whereas the placebo group did not.

This included:

•Overall appearance (p*=0.002 vs 0.14, active vs placebo by Wilcoxon sign ranks test)

•Appearance of "Thinning Areas" (TAs) (p=0.006 vs 0.22);

•The amount of scalp in the TAs (p=0.025 vs p=l);

•The amount of hair in the TAs (p=0.028 vs p=l);

•The growth of hair in the TAs (p=0.002 vs p=0.66) ;

*The result is considered significant when the p value < 0.05.

[00103] No adverse events were reported in the active group.

EXAMPLE 6

Formulation C and D for treating androgenic alopecia in men and women

The study population included 105 healthy male subjects at the age of 23-67 with mild to moderate androgenic alopecia and 96 healthy female subjects at the age of 22-78. Of the total 201 men and women group, 54% were advised to stop formulation B and continue with the relevant gender-specific formula (C-men, D- women) whereas 46% have begun with the relevant gender-specific formula (C- men, D-women) without using formula B prior to that. Each subject that used formula C or D received one pill for a day.

Results [00104] It was found that in the group that used initially formula B and then continued with formula C or D, no setbacks of any kind were reported. In the other group that begun with formula C or D, hair lost stopped within 3-5 weeks of usage and the hair regrowth started within the same period of time. In 22% of the patients they reported a significant improvement. All patients reported an increase in general wellbeing.

It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
