Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The proposed trial is intended for comparing the efficacy and safety of fixed dose combination of Minoxidil (5%) + Finasteride (0.1%) lipid solution with Minoxidil (5%) solution in adult male patients with androgenic alopecia. In view of the different mechanisms of action, it is hypothesized that the simultaneous administration of both the molecules should have a synergistic action. The side effects associated with the oral administration would also be reduced. If the dosage of the individual drug could be reduced, it will further improve the safety profile of the therapy. It is also expected that topical administration of finasteride will reduce the systemic exposure of finasteride leading to less adverse effect on the reproductive system i.e. less incidence of loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, breast engorgement or tenderness and effects on testis (pain in testis, hormonal effects etc.). These events are important especially in young and middle aged males as they might demoralize the patient to undergo finasteride treatment for the AGA. The trial will be conducted in Indian patients within India only. First patient enrolment in the study is anticipated in the second week of February, 2010.
