Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VDPHL01 in male subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).

AGA (or male pattern baldness) is a genetic disorder caused by an excessive (too much) hair follicle response to androgens (hormone) that causes hair loss. VDPHL01 8.5 mg Tablet is an investigational oral drug to treat male pattern baldness.

This multi-center, double blind, study will last about 13 months and includes 11 study visits (screening, baseline (day 1), week 2, month 1, month 2, month 4, month 6, month 8, month 10, month 12, month 13).

The first 7 visits will be part of the placebo-controlled period. The next 3 visits will be part of the treatment extension phase. All subjects will receive active drug in the treatment extension phase.
