Bimatoprost Trial Results

[waynakyo]

Not sure this is old news, but a trial of different formulations of Bim againts placebo against minoxidil has results.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/results/NCT01325337?term=alopecia&rank=62&sect=Xb870156

My reading of the results: No good. minoxidil did much better. The increase in # of hairs and their thickness from placebo was larger than placebo (but less than minoxidil) but was NOT significant. The standard deviation is too large.

Let me know if I missed something...

Yeah sorry this is sort of old news. Someone mentioned that they were going to try a much higher dose of bimatoprost in another clinical trial but I don't think that eve happened, probably because bimatoprost is too expensive and would be financially unrealistic.

Damn, so much for having another option in our tool box.
