Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 295393 0
To characterise pharmacokinetics of topically applied 0.25% SM04554 solution to male subjects with androgenetic alopecia, estimated using available concentration-time data for Cmax, tmax, AUC (0-24), AUC (0-infinite time) and t(1/2) from collected blood samples.
Timepoint [1] 295393 0
On treatment days 1 and 14 blood samples will be taken prior to study drug application and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours post study drug application.

Timepoint [2] 316245 0
Every day from first day study drug application to day 14 and at end of study day 15.
Secondary outcome [3] 316246 0
To characterise safety and tolerability of topical SM04554 0.25% solution to scalp of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia as determined by investigator skin assessment of the scalp and hands.
Timepoint [3] 316246 0
Treatment days 1 to 14 prior to study drug application and on follow up visit day 15.

Sample size of approximately 20 is selected based upon precedent set by other PK studies of similar nature and not based on power calculation.
The safety analysis set includes all subjects who received a least one treatment and PK analysis set will include subjects who complied with all study procedures.
PK parameters of SM04554 will be estimated using available concentration-time data and summarised with descriptive statistics. PK will be estimated for both safety and PK analysis sets

Summary
Brief summary
Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) which is also known as male patern baldness is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. Samumed Company is developing SM04554 for the treatment of AGA. SM04554 is a small molecule which activates proteins involved in maintaining hair growth
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and activity of a SM04554. This study drug is a solution to be rubbed onto the scalp once every day for 14 days. To obtain information on the how the body absorbs distributes and removes the drug form the body (pharmacokinetics), blood samples will be taken to measure the concentration of the study drug over the 14 days of application. This study will also check safety by measuring heart, liver and kidney function, number of blood cells, vital signs and scalp assessments.
