Details and patient eligibility

About

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

AGA (or pattern of hair loss) is a genetic disorder caused by an excessive (too much) hair follicle response to androgens (hormone) that causes hair loss. VDPHL01 8.5 mg Tablets for males and VDPHL01 4.5 mg Tablets for females are an investigational oral drug to treat male and female pattern baldness.

This multiple center, open-label, 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). Male subjects that meet the study eligibility criteria will be administered VDPHL01 once daily for 12 months. Female subjects that meet the study eligibility criteria will be administered VDPHL01 either once or twice daily for 12 months.
