Kintor reported top-line results from the phase III stage of its pivotal phase II/III trial of KX-826 tincture 1.0% and 0.5% for male adult androgenetic alopecia in China, and said the phase III stage met its primary endpoint. In an analysis of 666 patients treated for 24 weeks, target area non-vellus hair counts increased by 15.33 hairs/cm2 from baseline in the 1.0% twice-daily group and by 4.68 hairs/cm2 in the placebo group. The 1.0% twice-daily group showed a 10.65 hairs/cm2 increase versus placebo (P<0.0001). Kintor said no drug-related serious adverse events were observed, and adverse-event incidence was similar across the 1.0% twice-daily, 0.5% twice-daily, and placebo groups. The company said it plans to communicate with regulators in China and initiate near-term submission of a new drug application for KX-826 1.0%.
