This is a phase III, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KX-826 for topical use in Chinese adult male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
In this study, around 740 adult male subjects with AGA (rating IIIv, IV and V on Hamilton-Norwood scale) were to be enrolled. All subjects would be evaluated with 1:1 randomized to receive active drug or placebo in a double-blind fashion (370 subjects in each group), and would be treated for 24 weeks at the specified dose and frequency of each group. During the study, the subjects would undergo periodic efficacy and safety-related examinations and evaluation.
