Bull points
- 2026 is going to be a data-rich year for AppSci, with multiple readouts in front of us. We expect to share preliminary safety, tolerability, and PK data next month, interim 13-week regrowth data in the second half of this year, and full 26-week proof of concept data early next year.
- If successful, ADS-201 could represent the first new mechanism of action in androgenic alopecia in nearly three decades and a fundamentally different treatment paradigm for patients.
- Endometriosis has the same kind of opportunity as AGA, large, underserved, and underexplored.
Bear points
