Study to compare the effectiveness on hair growth and safety of a 5% minoxidil foam versus placebo foam over 24 weeks, when twice dialy applied on the hair thinning sites in male patients with androgenetic alopecia. After the 24 weeks period all willing subjects can participate in the open-label phase of the study, getting 5% minoxidil foam for further 80 weeks.
