Brief Summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle controlled, adaptive design phase 2/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical KX-826 solution in Chinese male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It consisted of two phases, phase 2 dose exploration trial and phase 3 confirmatory trial.

Detailed Description

In phase 2 study, around 90 adult male subjects with AGA (rating IIIv, IV and V on Hamilton-Norwood scale) were to be enrolled. All subjects would be evaluated with 1:1:1 randomized to receive KX-826 0.5% BID, KX-826 1.0% BID and vehicle in a double-blind fashion (30 subjects in each group), and would be treated for 24 weeks at the specified dose. During the study, the subjects would undergo periodic efficacy and safety-related examinations and evaluation. A Phase 2 statistical analysis will be performed when 90 patients complete the Week 24 visit or early withdrawal visit.

Blood samples will be collected at the following time points:

Day 1: 3 hours (pre-dose) W6 (Day 42): 3 hours (pre-dose) W12 (Day 84): 3 hours (pre-dose)

In phase 3 study, around 666 adult male subjects with AGA (rating IIIv, IV and V on Hamilton-Norwood scale) were to be enrolled. All subjects would be evaluated with 1:1:1 randomized to receive KX-826 0.5% BID, KX-826 1.0% BID and vehicle in a double-blind fashion (222 subjects in each group), and would be treated for 24 weeks at the specified dose. During the study, the subjects would undergo periodic efficacy and safety-related examinations and evaluation.
