First-in-Human Trial Demonstrates Promising Results for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia SAN DIEGO, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Amplifica Holdings Group Inc. (“Amplifica”), a privately held clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced results from its first-in-human trial of AMP-303, a novel intradermal injectable treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most common form of hair loss. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMP-303, while also evaluating its efcacy. The results suggest that AMP303 has a significant potential to address hair loss after one treatment cycle. 

The trial enrolled male participants aged 18 to 45 diagnosed with AGA, and stratified subjects based on the duration of their hair loss. The study divided participants into two distinct groups: those with recent onset of hair loss (3-5 years) and those experiencing more long-standing hair loss (over 10 years). A bilateral paired treatment design in the frontal temporal region was used, where each participant was randomized to receive AMP-303 on one side of the scalp and a placebo on the other, allowing for a direct comparison within individuals. This approach, combined with subject stratification by onset of hair loss, allowed for the analysis of AMP-303’s potential efectiveness across diferent timepoints and stages of hair loss while controlling for individual variability.

Key Study Findings:

• • Safety Profile: AMP-303 was observed to be safe and well tolerated. The majority of adverse events were mild in severity and no
    severe adverse events were reported. Local skin reactions to intradermal injections were similar between AMP-303 and placebo,
    and consistent with other intradermal injections.
  • Efcacy: A statistically significant percentage of study subjects (P <0.001) showed a greater than 15% increase in non-vellus hair
    count from baseline compared to placebo at 60 days post-treatment, and a greater than 10% increase compared to placebo at
    150 days post-treatment.
  • Durable Results: The study revealed that a single AMP-303 treatment cycle increased non-vellus hair count and sustained hair
    density and thickness over time (150 days post treatment), a marked improvement compared to placebo.
  • Hair Terminalization: The study results also demonstrated AMP-303’s ability to stimulate the transition of vellus hairs into nonvellus hairs, further emphasizing the treatment’s potential for reversing hair loss.

“The ability to demonstrate measurable improvements in hair regrowth with just one treatment cycle is a breakthrough in addressing androgenetic alopecia,” said Frank Fazio, President and CEO of Amplifica. “The success of the AMP-303 study not only validates our approach but also sets the foundation for advancing additional programs in Amplifica’s pipeline. With this momentum, we are excited to to accelerate the development of new therapies targeting hair regeneration, reinforcing our commitment of developing novel treatments to address androgenetic alopecia.”

William Rassman, MD, a pioneer in hair restoration surgery and Amplifica co-founder, added, “The results observed in the frontal temporal region are particularly encouraging, as this area has traditionally been one of the most challenging to demonstrate a clinical response. AMP-303’s potential to stimulate hair regrowth in this region underscores its unique potential and sets it apart from existing therapies. Findings from this initial clinical study ofers renewed hope for patients struggling with hair loss that have historically been resistant to treatment.”

With the results from this first-in-human study, Amplifica is poised to advance AMP-303 through additional clinical trials to further explore its therapeutic potential for both men and women sufering from hair loss. The company aims to develop AMP-303 as a highly diferentiated option in the hair loss treatment landscape, which is currently limited to daily-use topical and oral therapies.
