The real question is if Japan, with new regulations, can complete a 3 trial clinical run in just a year?

 

[Blackber]

I believe they can release during phase II if it shows efficacy. That's what Replicel aims to do.

I believe you're correct as long as the same rules apply to them that apply to Replicel.

There's a chart floating around that was posted on other threads that shows how new treatments are classified and effected my Japan's new regulations.

Same rules WILL apply. There's no exceptions with the new regulations. I think it's about 2-3 years before a treatment can go commercial.

I just tried searching and googling for the chart I was talking about - I believe @Swoop had posted it. I couldn't find it but you're probably right. I can't see them mentioning their aggressive timelines if that wasn't the case.

The Japanese regulations state they can bring a new treatment to market during Phase 2 if they can show safety AND efficacy which is a good thing.

Yep. I've posted that chart many times before, plus it was also presented in January's presentation by Lee Buckler (the small conference in Toronto I attended).

I have a question regarding this. Is it normal for companies to partner up before the technology is even proven to work? Why would Kyocera jump on board and start developing before they even knew that this was going to fly. Is this a common practice in business?

i believe that they overcame a major hurdle propelling this thing into motion, and are now trying to get the equipment mass produced so they can get the clinical research started.

Yeah man. I find it hard to believe a company (kyocera) would spend time and money on something if they didnt really believe it was doable and profitable

 

[Bill Sussman]

Especially the fact that they have government funding is a good sign. a very good sign for us. either way, let's hope the interview confirms that the science behind this method is consistent with the original approach an. if it remains consistent its a good sign that they have overcome the hurdles regarding the cell manipulation and multiplication since they will not be taking alternative approaches (meaning something has failed)... after that we just wait until the clinical trials.

^No dude. It is almost unheard of in business. kyoceras support is the biggest indicator that they have something that works

Any idea if it should work for women too ? Our donnor area is less preserved/not the same.

Women's hair contains exactly the same types of cells needed for the procedure, so there is no way it wouldn't work in women as well.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but this interview and bit on Tsuji (and a few other methods) is quite interesting. I had never seen the results they got on the rats before.

Do you know of something??

Kinda wish they would give an update of some kind.

And here I am, trying to buy myself a surround sound system....

Haha I can't wait until we can all have hair like Tsuji's.

 

[Baldybald1]

Swoop you mention tsuji a lot but ignore lauster, tissuse are very close as well and they even have a name for their technique (SHT) !

True. I hope these guys engage into clinical trials too ASAP. It's just that Tsuji is really engaging in human clinical trials soon (2018).

Brotzu = trash
