In the study, KX-826 has demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in hair growth as measured by&nbsp;target area&nbsp;non-vellus&nbsp;hair count (TAHC). In addition, its&nbsp;safety profile was favorable.<\/p>\n<p>This trial is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KX-826 for the treatment of AGA in female adults. Professor <span class=\"xn-person\">Jianzhong Zhang<\/span>, chairman of the Department of Dermatology, Peking University People&#8217;s Hospital, is the leading principal investigator (Leading PI). The primary endpoint for the trial is the change from baseline versus placebo in TAHC at the end of week 24.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 160 female AGA patients who have met Savin Scale (D3-D6) were enrolled in the phase II clinical trial. 119 patients were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, including KX-826 2.5mg (0.25%) once daily (QD), KX-826 2.5mg (0.25%) twice daily (BID), KX-826 5mg (0.5%) QD and KX-826&nbsp;5mg (0.5%) BID; and 41 patients were assigned to placebo groups (QD and BID). The results haven shown that,<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The TAHC of the KX-826&nbsp;5mg&nbsp;(0.5%)&nbsp;QD group has increased by 11.39 hair counts per cm<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;compared with the placebo group from baseline&nbsp;after the treatment of&nbsp;24 weeks, which was statistically significant (<em>P<\/em>=0.0087). In addition, KX-826 has demonstrated efficacy as early as at the end of week 12.<\/li>\n<li>The recommended dose for phase III clinical trial for female AGA in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> is determined as KX-826 5mg (0.5%)&nbsp; QD.<\/li>\n<li>The overall safety profile of KX-826 was favorable. The majority of treatment emerged adverse events (TEAE) were mild and similar to those of placebo. No TEAE resulted in patient withdrawal from the trial, nor death was reported.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Professor <span class=\"xn-person\">Jianzhong Zhang<\/span>, chairman of the Department of Dermatology, Peking University People&#8217;s Hospital, commented, &#8220;AGA is the most common type of hair loss greatly affecting male and female adults. The market&nbsp;potential&nbsp;for unmet medical needs is huge. In particular, treatment options for female AGA adults are more limited than those for male AGA adults. We are pleased to&nbsp;announce&nbsp;that the first-in-class topical drug, KX-826, has shown a good efficacy and safety profile in the female AGA phase II trial. This result paves the way for the pivotal study which would kick off very soon. Meanwhile, the enrollment of&nbsp;pivotal&nbsp;study of KX-826 for treating male AGA adults is ongoing in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span>. We look forward to KX-826&#8217;s commercialization to provide benefits to both male and female AGA adults worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Youzhi Tong<\/span>, founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kintor Pharma, commented, &#8220;1) Compared with the clinical trial&nbsp;design for male AGA adults study,&nbsp;it is more challenging for the phase II clinical trial of treating female AGA adults, due to changes in their hairline shape, hair loss rating and hair density and lack of detectable biomarkers; 2) Minoxidil and Finasteride are available for male AGA&nbsp;adults, however, for female AGA&nbsp;adults, the topical treatment is limited to Minoxidil only; 3) Even the incidence rate is 1 in 20 for female AGA adults, which is less than that for male, women have a higher desire for appearance and are willing to pay. Therefore, the market&nbsp;size&nbsp;of treating female AGA&nbsp;is large in both <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> and overseas.&nbsp;We expect to kick off the&nbsp;pivotal&nbsp;study in <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> soon. In the meantime, we&nbsp;will continue to actively look for partners to expand into the international market. We hope that KX-826 would be an effective and safe first-in-class drug for male and female AGA adults around the globe as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About KX-826<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>KX-826 is an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist and a potential first-in-class topical drug for the treatment of AGA and acne vulgaris.
