BEIJING CHENGUANG PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. en_US PRN Asia Dayspring Pharma Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase II Clinical Trial of CG2001 for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) 2026-06-08 09:28:00 Professor Cheng Zhou presents the efficacy and safety results of CG2001, a topical combination of minoxidil and finasteride, at the 14th World Congress for Hair Research in Seoul, South Korea CG2001 is a topical fixed-dose combination formulation containing minoxidil and finasteride, being evaluated for the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia. The trial consisted of the following treatment arms: CG2001 (5% Minoxidil and 0.075% Finasteride) once daily (QD); CG2001 (5% Minoxidil and 0.1% Finasteride) once daily (QD); CG2001 (5% Minoxidil and 0.075% Finasteride) twice daily (BID); and a Control Group. The study met its primary endpoint: at Week 24, the group treated with CG2001 (5% Minoxidil and 0.075% Finasteride) twice daily demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) compared to the placebo group. Additionally, favorable safety and tolerability results were observed. Key topline results include: * At Week 24, the group treated with CG2001 (5% Minoxidil and 0.075% Finasteride) twice daily achieved an increase of 28.17 hairs/cm² from baseline in TAHC (p=0.006), a key efficacy metric, outperforming the placebo group, which showed an increase of 7.68 hairs/cm². * In the CG2001 (Minoxidil 5% and Finasteride 0.075%) twice-daily group, a trend of sustained increase in ΔTAHC was observed at Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24. * In the CG2001 (Minoxidil 5% and Finasteride 0.075%) twice-daily group a trend toward improvement in subject self-assessments, were also observed. * CG2001 was generally well-tolerated across all treatment groups, and no sex related adverse event were identified. * All adverse events were mild to moderate in severity. "Despite approved treatment options, androgenetic alopecia remains an area of significant unmet medical need. We are encouraged by the Phase II results, which support CG2001's potential as a differentiated treatment option and its continued clinical development," said Baohui Yu, CEO of Dayspring Pharma. Dayspring Pharma is currently engaging with regulatory authorities to define the next phase of clinical development. About CG2001 CG2001 is a topical combination of minoxidil and finasteride developed to harness the synergistic potential of two cornerstone therapies for AGA. Both are widely recognized as first-line treatments for male pattern hair loss: minoxidil promotes hair growth, while finasteride inhibits 5α-reductase and reduces dihydrotestosterone levels. CG2001 is formulated as a specifically designed foam with an optimized dose ratio and delivery system to improve local follicular delivery, enhance efficacy, and minimize systemic exposure associated with oral finasteride.

]]> Dayspring Pharma Announces Phase II Trial of CG2001 Foam Met Primary Endpoint in Chinese Adult Men with AGA 2026-04-22 11:09:00   ]]> BEIJING, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dayspring Pharma today announced top-line data from its Phase II clinical trial of CG2001 foam in male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The trial met its primary endpoint and demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful results, with a favorable efficacy and safety profile.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study enrolled 110 Chinese adult men with AGA. Led by Peking University People's Hospital, the 30-week trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of CG2001 and identify the recommended dosing regimen for Phase III development.

Key Findings
All CG2001 treatment groups demonstrated a markedly superior improvement trend compared to the placebo group at Week 24. Most notably, the group receiving 5% minoxidil + 0.075% finasteride twice daily demonstrated the best efficacy. Compared with other registered clinical data, including published data from existing Chinese minoxidil foam studies, efficacy improved by approximately 50%. In addition, the treatment showed a rapid onset of action, surpassing the peak efficacy reported in comparator studies as early as Week 12.

In terms of safety, CG2001 was well tolerated and exhibited extremely low systemic exposure. All adverse reactions observed during the study were mild, mainly pruritus and increased scaliness, and resolved spontaneously without medical intervention.

Based on the overall Phase II results, CG2001 has demonstrated strong potential in efficacy, rapid onset of action, and safety. Dayspring Pharma will continue to advance the Phase III clinical development of CG2001, further accelerate its research and translational efforts in hair health, and strive to bring patients more effective and accessible treatment options.
