@The 7TH Sense so they're saying they may not actually release the results? I don't understand. Also is this info from Beps given to the moderator for Ieson
did he get that from Beps or is it his own assumption?He says effectiveness is secondary.
That's kinda strange but perhaps they're double checking the side effects of the updated lotion they've created? Maybe the original lotion had good/decent results, and they believe they can improve upon them but at the risk of possible sides so that's the main thing they're looking at? Maybe that's also why they stated they may not show the results from this trial because if there are sides with the updates lotion they will instead stick with the original formula and not show the results of their enhanced one. That's about all I can think of in terms of why they would go this route. Any thoughts @That Guy ?Marlin says the trials are in reality carried with the purpose of getting the certainty it has really no sides. He says effectiveness is secondary.
I do not fully believe it; to reach the market, a cosmetic should have an effectiveness, if not, people won't buy and FIDIA does not hope to have wasted money buying the patent, financing the organization for the trials, and organizing the market plan. Also, it's a complex cosmetic, full of expensive molecules, they will be hard times for FIDIA if it reveals scam. If it will be marketed, there's no point to believe in its uneffectiveness.

there's 2 ways to perceive that message..
1) either they're trying to scam us and cover their asses on side effect cases and potential lawsuits on a cosmetic product that doesn't work.
2) Theyre so confident in its effectiveness that they just need to clear the side effects to be released as a cosmetic.
Either way studies on effectiveness would help market and sell the product much better.
Will you prepare commercialization and industrial scaling up before gaining any test results?I'm not sure I see the logic there.

It seems perfectly reasonable to outsource the trials to a more equipped organization. It happens all the time, for basically everything. I don't see how it would impede the process whatsoever. Do you think the organization Fidia is having do the trials is not communicating with Fidia? Because that would be really weird to believe. I genuinely don't understand what you think is happening.
So the moderator on Ieson just posted this

In February, the report will be ready for these tests (as he said Beps), it is said to be made public, for sure will be delivered to Phidias.
And in the meantime, let us continue to talk (even) of the microcirculation, it is not forbidden to non-experts ... Hello MA - rlin![]()
and then this
The trials are made by third parties on behalf of Phidias (so he told me Beps) and then the report is presented to Phidias February.
Hello
MA - rlin
Guess its just waiting time for the next couple of months so put on your hats for now and enjoy what is left of your bald life![]()
New post from Marlin:
It should be noted that trials have been made in the first place to establish the safety of use of the preparation with these "new" substances, the efficacy is not required for a cosmetic, it is sufficient that does not do damage. Sorge also no doubt that if it was too effectively perhaps might have problems to be classified as a cosmetic. Fidia is waiting for the end of the test, but not so much to know if the product is effective, but to finally proceed to production and marketing, we say that removing an obligation imposed by law and can proceed.
So all this anxiously awaiting the outcome of the trials is another big mistake that some are taking misunderstanding about the real meaning of these trials.
Hello
MA - rlin
And it's a private company.You would absolutely prepare commercialization before pharmaceutical trials begin if there is proof of adequate gains from brotzus personal procedure and trials. It would mean pre-tampering and tweaking from fidia, brotzus original lotion was convincing enough for Androgenetic Alopecia.
If they DIDN'T prepare for immediate commercialization after trials I would wonder if it was weak results and only a pump and dump ploy to inflate company share prices due to ineffectivness
So the reality is that it is the former we are waiting for.
I am quite worried about how the FDA will classify this lotion. It technically qualifies as a cosmetic, but can easily be argued as "articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease" and "articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals. If by some miracle this is out in Europe in 2017, I'm not sure if it will be out in the US for potentially much longer, if ever. Unless there's some insane public outcry and heavy lobbying. I could be wrong though, and I hope to god I am.
As I look more closely at FDA regulations, I'm now very convinced that this lotion will be considered both a cosmetic and a drug and will not be FDA approved for a very long time. But I still could be wrong.
If someone knows about any regulations regarding importing an FDA unapproved product from overseas, could you share your knowledge.
This page http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/Transparency/Basics/ucm194904.htm seems to say that it is illegal to import drugs, but there are circumstances where it's fine including:
"-There is no commercialization or promotion of the drug to U.S. residents;
-The drug is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk;"
So that gives me some hope. Also, wasn't Nizoral not FDA approved until very recently? But people have easily had access to that for years. So yeah, hopefully everything will be fine.
Well the whole point is that there are no drugs used in the formula. PGE1 being the one drug, which was replaced with DGLA being an amino acid. However, just because there are no drugs in it doesn't rule it out from being classified as a drug itself. This excerpt from FDA site:
"Such claims establish the product as a drug because the intended use is to treat or prevent disease or otherwise affect the structure or functions of the human body. Some examples are claims that products will restore hair growth."
So unless I'm super mistaken, that essentially guarantees that the lotion will 100% be considered a drug in the USA. However, because it won't be sold in the US, it is fully legal to import it, if I understood what I read about importing FDA unapproved drugs.
