Eirion's CEO & President, Jon Edelson, MD, will present "A Novel More Effective Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia: Clinical Comparison of First in Human Trial Results of Topical ET-02 with Topical and Oral Formulations of Minoxidil" during the poster sessions that will take place on Friday, September 18, 4:30 PM – 5:00 PM CET and on Saturday, September 19, 11:00 AM – 11:30 AM CET.
"The BCN Hair Meeting is a premier forum for advancing hair research, and we are excited to share the promising results from our first-in-human trial of topical ET-02," said Dr. Edelson.
