Apparently, the topically administered drug proposed by Curis had a "poor safety profile".

This is another major blow to the hedgehog after failing in treating Basal Cell Carcinoma as well.

As far as Curis coming out with a drug that would treat male pattern baldness, that program is now officially over.

Too bad...

And also upsetting considering I just bought some Curis stock... doubly upsetting.

So this is the end for Curis male pattern baldness treatment?

NO SURPRISE HERE!!!!

this is how it has been with "promising new treatments" since I entered the hair loss game 5 years ago.

In that time nothing new has come out.

That sucks really, but I had a feeling it wasn't going to come out.
