Fingers crossed they do not delay!!!

Grumpy guy was talking about cetrizine. Do you have any opinion on that?

Also I would consider monoxidal again but I’m sh*t scared of triggering a shed!!!

That is an excellent read.

There are a few places listed to purchase Ceti. Which one do you recommend!

Puretech in the last few days has raised a $100 million. In the accompanying statement they say theyll use the money to progress their Phase 2 products into pivotal trials.

In the next 3 months, Follica should be in a Phase 3 trial. The first new treatment in decades?

Yus please!

If Follica has 4x minoxodil results like they claim that will be a huge step forward.

Hi,

Tbh I believe the minoxidil comparison (also from Follica) is quite diffuse because
of the large non-responder % treated with the drug.

But (!) I'm quite optimistic regardless given the nature of the working mechanism (neogenesis)
from their final product and the results from earlier studies as those allude to that their efficacy
comparison is indeed only to the responding % of patients treated with minoxidil! Hell, they've
even stated (hoping) it'll be an alternative to transplants which is quite bold...

Edit: Also, because of the neogenesis aspect, I suspect there may be some future potential
in combining the method with transplants for the least lucky of us, because the neogenic hair
in donor area should retain its ''DHT immune'' characteristics.

Cheers

Geezus, that would be an incredible number. If it were a true 4X, damn.

4 x 0 = 0

So what does optimization study mean? Is this part of phase II? Where exactly is this in the clinical trial process?

Essentially means exactly what it says on the tin. Its a preparatory phase between phase 2 and phase 3 to ensure that phase 3 trials are optimal; optimal in terms of results, different dose/method comparisons and price. Phase 3 is a rare stage for companies and its crucial to make sure they conduct it in the most efficient way possible. It can make or break the publicity, profitability and respectability gained by the company, project, research team and the product itself

Well said.

I talked to my dermatologist on monday. Its a big office in Dallas. I asked them if they heard of anything upcoming for hair loss.
She said no and tried to push PRP. Not saying that they should know for sure, but if this was imminent then it would make sense they had read about it or something, right? Do new products just show up at clinics doorsteps without notice?

It's definitely not close enough for PureTech or Follica to really be marketing it. They still have to run another clinical trial before commercial release. Dermatologists do a lot and aren't necessarily specialists on hair loss. So unless that's an interest of theirs and they read about ongoing research, there's not much of a reason for them to know about Follica if they can't yet offer it as a treatment.

Personnally i have a lot of HOPE on Follica......I really hope the will release the product...and when !

It comes after the "f***, we'll have to delay again because we are borderline charlatans, time to invent an excuse" phase.

 

[Johnt1997]

tin?

Its an expression lol. Means that it means what it says that it means. If you know what I mean hahaha

 

[hanginginthewire]

It means the clock is ticking for all the crybaby fucks out there.

This news is the bee's butt-fuckin' knees.

You can say whatever you like, but the reality is that a treatment that can grow new hair is close and this is it. We don't know that Shiseido will be able to provide much for meaningful regrowth yet and it will be a while before Tsuji (and his colossally expensive) cell therapy is around.

All the little b****s that piss, whine, moan and cry and look for every excuse to do so can keep at it, because my mug is sitting right here on the counter to catch those tears and devour them.

Doesn't matter if it's the team you're cheering for, doesn't matter if you think anything that provides less than f*****g sea otter density is unacceptable, and it doesn't matter what else you say: The rest of us in the land of the sane welcome such an option, will use it, and get the f*** on with our lives.

That won't stop some of you from sitting on these forums being miserable though. And I can't wait for that day because the amount of salt I'll be able to mine out of you all will be enough to supply every fast food chain until the end of time.

Until then, keep on praying to Brotzu
