ATC-002 is an Investigational Pharmaceutical Product Candidate for Androgenic Alopecia
GREENVILLE, SC, –
• ATC-002 is a twice-daily treatment designed to stimulate new hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia.
• ATC-002 is being evaluated in a cosmetic claims substantiation clinical trial in a 180-day, 3-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in up to 96 people in the United States.
• ATC-002 uses Atticus’s proprietary Z-pod® technology to create a drug depot in the hair follicle and stratum corneum to deliver drug in a sustained-release manner.
Atticus Pharma Inc, a therapeutics company focused on immunodermatology and associated conditions, today announced the initiation of a human clinical study of ATC-002 in androgenic alopecia. ATC-002 is a proprietary product candidate that delivers a mitochondrial-activating molecule using Atticus’s Z-pod sustained-release technology. Several subjects have been screened and have received ATC-002.
“Initiation of the first human trial is a significant milestone for Atticus as we aim to evaluate the ability of ATC-002 to grow more and thicker hair in this double-blind, placebo-controlled study in people with androgenic alopecia,” said Atticus CEO, Leigh Hsu, Ph.D. “With limited options for those suffering from this condition, positive data from our trial will provide a pathway for future Rx development of a much-needed option.”
