As presented in the slide reproduced above, over the 135 day study, both treatment arms showed an increase in hair count and hair density objectively measured by macrophotography. By contrast, the vehicle group showed a decline in both measures. Under the a priori statistical analysis plan, between Day 90 and Day 135, the 0.15% treatment group had a statistically significantly higher increase in both hair count and hair density, as compared to vehicle (Figure 1).

Samumed's investigational drug is a topical solution of its novel small molecule compound SM04554. The 302-subject, multi-center, randomized (1:1:1), double-blind, vehicle-controlled Phase 2 trial studied the safety, tolerability and efficacy of two different concentrations (0.15% and 0.25%) of SM04554 in male subjects with AGA between the ages of 18 and 55 with Norwood-Hamilton Classification scales of 4, 5, 5A, 5V, or 6. The study involved a 90-day once-a-day treatment period and a 45-day post-treatment follow up.
