Safety and Efficacy of a Topical Treatment (SM04554) for Androgenetic Alopecia: Results from a Phase 1 Trial

This document is a summary of three different studies related to hair loss and alopecia. The first study compared the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dutasteride versus finasteride in men with androgenetic alopecia. The study found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and improving hair growth. The second study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a topical treatment called SM04554 for androgenetic alopecia. The study found that SM04554 was safe, well-tolerated, and potentially effective in slowing hair loss and promoting hair growth. The third study reported a case of relapsing nail fibrokeratoma in a teenager, which is a benign epithelial tumor that can affect the digits.
