             control during the study treatment period until 90 days post last dose of study
             medication

          -  Current skin disease (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, skin cancer, eczema, sun
             damage, seborrheic dermatitis), cuts and/or abrasions on the scalp or condition (e.g.,
             sunburn, tattoos) on the treatment area that, in the opinion of the Investigator,
             might put the subject at risk or interfere with the study conduct or evaluations

          -  Previous exposure to SM04554

          -  Use of any products or devices purported to promote scalp hair growth (e.g.,

             prior to study start

          -  Subjects with a history of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia as determined by
             the Investigator

          -  Subjects with clinically significant findings from medical history, clinical
             laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), or vital signs that, in the opinion of the

             risk

          -  Subjects unwilling to refrain from sperm donation during the study treatment period
