Four hair loss drugs are in trials, but none is approved yet

ISTANBUL — November 13, 2026 -- Four hair loss drugs are in clinical trials, but as of November 2026 none has regulatory approval for pattern hair loss. Smile Hair Clinic, an Istanbul hair transplant provider, set out where each candidate stands in a briefing from its co-founders, Dr. Mehmet Erdoğan and Dr. Gökay Bilgin.

For readers weighing a transplant against waiting, the practical point is this: none of the four can be prescribed as an approved treatment today. By our count, two of the four have reported Phase III results, and only one has a stated filing plan.
