Correct me if I'm wrong... but did we not get ANY new info from all this? Afaik the hospitals could still release trial data today and then all will be well. Or they could release it in 2019, who knows.
The thing that everyone is missing in this conversation is that the Shiseido and RepliCel are actually under no obligation whatsoever to release the data from the trial publicly. Especially given the large investments recently made in them, it seems the company is needing to do less to get overseas companies to invest millions in them.
More than likely what will happen when Shiseido gets the results back and shares them with RepliCel, they'll just make a press release saying that milestone has been hit, and that's all you'll ever know.
A lot of people here seem to be actively waiting for this information and to see what happened, the reality is that even if it's successful — it's highly probable you won't know the details.
