In terms of the main product CU-40102 (topical finasteride spray), CU-40102 is the world's first and only topical finasteride product approved for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, and the first topical finasteride product to be accepted by the National Medical Products Administration. Finasteride, as a specific type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the scalp, and can treat androgenetic alopecia in male patients. Unlike oral finasteride, the topical formulation of CU-40102 allows patients to apply the medication directly and accurately to the surface of the scalp, maintaining high concentration at the site of application, while reducing the side effects often caused by oral medication. The NDA of CU-40102 was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration in January 2024 and submitted to the Hong Kong Department of Health in April 2024.
