Brief Summary

This study is testing CG2001, a new medicine that is applied as a light foam to the scalp and is being developed to treat male-pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). The main goals are to find out:

1. Whether single and repeated daily doses of CG2001 are safe and well-tolerated

2. How much of the drug, if any, enters the bloodstream (pharmacokinetics)

Conditions

Male Pattern of Hair Loss, Androgenic Alopecia; Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)
