    Follica European Trials

    I'm not sure if anybody has seen this before. It looks like follica concluded phase two trials in Europe at the beginning of last year. Click on the DE to get more info.

    good find, although i have no idea what it means and it's quite old.

    It's nearly 2 years since Cotsarellis announced clinical trials for a PGD2 inhibtor could start in "2 years" - still no word on that. Cotsarellis is very elusive.

      This is the first time I've seen Follica's clinical trials listed anywhere.

      If they've finished Phase II, would it not mean they'll be starting Phase III soon...???

                im sure they are conducting or have conducted phase 3 somewhere. Their CEO said they are close to releasing the product. With this recent find we see they have concluded phase 2 over a year ago and just recently around September they released an article saying that they are close to unleashing a product. This implies that at least through phase 2 their technology works. In august 2013 they got their patent for the laser that's going to damage the skin. Cleary after testing the laser through clinicals and seeing that it works, they got the patent. The facts are there, they are very close.

                  *fingers crossed*

                  Replicel, Histogen and maybe Follica are gonna be battling it out now for 2015... Thats some serious competition.

                  Too bad Aderans is out of the game...

                    aderans closed shop because they got news that follica was onto something and the Japanese pulled the funding. Think about it, would you fund money into developing a technology when you hear that another better method that works is being developed? Purely a business decision by the Japanese and a smart one too.

                      They we're supposed to release their product in 2014. SUPPOSED TO. Let's say they did... they'd get a ton of sales until 2015. I'd go in for sure. I mean, zero donor loss, no scarring and a decent bump in density? Sign me up.

                      Even if they we're to go and compete against a superior method, they could have just dropped the prices to compete well. You know, I'd probably go in for both an Aderans and Follica treatment.

                        I've remained quietly optimistic about Follica since things have gone quiet. I still think it's a Follica vs Histogen head-to-head for the first 'next gen treatment' to be released. Right now my preference would be Histogen because I've seen how effective it is - I'd love to see some before and afters from Follica. Exciting stuff boys.

                            if they are heading into phase III, this is the best news of the year. sign me up for cutaneous perturbation ASAFP so i can stop reading thru contless pages of forum threads, fueling my OCD, depression, and general frustrations associated with this BS disease.

                              Sources where Ceo said they are "close" to releasing a product. How close is close, close could be 5-6 years. What clinical trial is this for. What were the results.

                              They could have completed a clinical trial that yielded poor results years ago, and now just started a new one in order to improve on results. There is too much hopeful assumptions in this post.

                              You guys keep on scraping from the bottom of the internet and post it on here and everyone jumps on it with hope and then run wild speculation. Seriously just inferring a novel out of a sentence.
