[Xaser94]

The row with Fol-004 clearly states topline results from pivotal study and fda filing under 2020!!!

So this means its not just minoxidil after all?

Not sure, but even if it is, it's still gonna help a lot of peopld

The Superman is posting means there is still some good news! Thanks for the news Xaser.

Missing the panda guy also

About to head into phase 3. There's the microneedle pen lol.

 

[PaulFr29]

Is there any indications on where the participants will be recruited?

 

[Member 139756]

We're all gonna have great hair like these two.

Most of what I've heard about follica has been kind of vague info. Does anyone have an edjucated guess how much this will actually do? Could it half hair loss + maybe add some new stuff?

 

[MrJolly16]

Then I hope they can make it, because we need something new. Besides they have never given up and they haven´t released any crappy product so far.

FDA filling in 2020? What does it mean? Can it even be sold in 2020 or 2021? What do you think?

 

[Pephair]

Late 2022 seems fair.

It’s all in the press release, just not spelt out explicitly.

If you read the press release, they claim the following:

“Follica device has shown significant therapeutic advantages in scalp treatment versus commercially available skin disruption technology”

Let’s assume that the other commercially available products are dermapens and rollers. What they are claiming here is that follicas device is better than them, however they haven’t ruled out that the head to head comparison yielding a better result for follica is due to chance. This might be because their sample size was too small, poor research design or maybe the follica results weren’t substantially better. I suspect it’s the latter.

Based on this, I would guess the device would be similar, and maybe slightly better than Needling.

If you look on the needling thread, you’ll see some insane results for some people. Follica will probably be suited for those who aren’t comfortable needling at home due to Infections/lack of knowledge/queasiness and prefer the comfort of a doctors clinic. This probably applies to most consumers including myself.

Meanwhile, they are also working on compounds that will improve on their treatment, which I think will be released at a later stage. I’d be more excited by this..

Those of us who actually bother to read already knew that - just say’n

They mention having tested "next generation compounds" and multiple IND's? I would guess minoxidil at the very least, and that an improved protocol and regimin of new drugs is in the works.

The exact bullet point in the slide is:
Identified and tested next-generation, proprietary compounds
So this is not minoxidil. However Identified and tested might mean they were only tested in vitro or mice... And they have yet to be tested in humans...

Exactly. NOT MINOXIDIL.

I highly doubt it’s only been tested in mice based on the phase they are on. Jeez.

Cotsarelis and Follica have experimented with a number of off the shelf as well as new and *novel compounds over the years.

 

[JimmyB]

They've been saying this, but there's no evidence they've started, or close to starting, their pivotal study, so their timeline likely won't hold up.

Their micro-abrasion device has been tested with various compounds in three previous clinical trials, meaning human trials, all of which showed they are inducing neogenesis (new hair follicles).

This is awesome news! Cassiopeia also updated their website and are initiating Phase lll for Androgenetic Alopecia 1Q 2020. Follica Samumed and CB sounds like a plus 1/2 norwoods and maintenance

Well it depends on "how slick is the targeted area".Many will see an improvement while others will not.
All in all in some cases that treatment will lower the cost in some cases of a hair transplant.
What is great is that many people will achieve a "functional" cure this way
