Aderans

[Person]

I hate to be negative, but im also a realistic person. I follow aderans.

They are the definition of the "always 5 years away company". Quote me right now, in 2016 they will still be in phase II raising funds for Phase 3.

To be honest I will cry if aderans doesn't make it. Not because of being bald sucks, but i have gotten my hopes so much up.

They have already invested nearly $100 million?
~55 people in a 27,000-square-foot building?

What the hell have they done more than 10 years?

In the past, I really had high hopes for the Aderans guys, but the more I read about their science/knowledge in all their papers and patents during the past 3 years, I sometimes got the feeling that they still work completely in the dark.

Funds would not be a problem if they had a product worth of moving to phase 3

From all the companies involved in HM, they already have the infrastructure to commercialize a product as soon as possible with the biggest profit. The only thing they lack is a product that works

My money is on histogen.

If you read histogen's latest patient aderans have been supplying them with human hair follicle cells.

They are the only ones that have shown a cosmetically relevant result

Super close up pictures are great for graphics and the scientific side, but the bottom line is that, everyone wants to know how our scalp is going to look to a complete stranger some feets away.

Not so. Phase 3 testing alone eats up 90% of the costs of conducting clinical trials:

Yes, but Bosley has enough money or can get a credit if they need it

If it was any other company, I would agree, as they would need to talk to potential partners or just sell the product to a bigger company, but I'm pretty sure Bosley wants all the profits for themselves, which is bad news for potential customers if whatever Aderans is testing really works

I've no idea if and when Aderans will get to market, but I tend not to take anything Ken Washenik (their MD I think) says too seriously. I remember seeing a video in early 2008 of him proclaiming that hair multiplication could be with is in late 2009 / early 2010. I thought it was BS at the time, and therefore I've no reason to have much confidence in a possible solution (at least from Aderans) of being available in 2 or 3 years.
