https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clascoterone
Clascoterone, sold under the brand name Winlevi, is an antiandrogen medication which is used topically in the treatment of acne. It is also under development for the treatment of androgen-dependent scalp hair loss.
Pharmacodynamics
Clascoterone is an steroidal antiandrogen, or antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).[1][4][5] In a bioassay, the topical potency of the medication was greater than that of progesterone, flutamide, and finasteride and was equivalent to that of cyproterone acetate.[10]
It's only approved for acne for now (as of August 2020) but there's no way it would fail on hair loss patients looking at the pharmacodynamics.
