Histogen Update from Ziering Medical

[Born To Be Bald]

I spoke to Histogen. HSC is NOT shelved and they are moving forward. As I presumed, Dr. Ziering was stating simply that he is not enrolling any more patients in his own sponsored trial. That does not mean they have given up, not by any stretch.

Your frustration is understood but I can personally attest to the credibility of the people running Histogen. They have a very good product and a great management team, these things just take a long time. Now everyone relax.

When did you speak to them? Did they go into any specifics?

[ryan555]

How did a discussion about Histogen trials turn into an argument over the efficacy of hair transplants? I hate the Internet.

[greatjob!]

Would you stop with that picture, after a hundred reposts, it kind of stops being funny.

Hellouser is just a troll at this point, not really any point in arguing with him.

Ryan, I would like to know the specific details about this.

How did you contact Histogen, did you do it via email, phone, or their website? Who were you in contact with?

You can't just say "I spoke with Histogen and everything is okay."

Amen to that first paragraph. I'd rather hear from Mrs. Naughton about how they are moving forward. They know that they have something potentially revolutionary and they're not just simply gonna shelve it.

I was on Histogen's website and came across this quote at the bottom of the page, which so succinctly and accurately sums up my view of the hair loss industry. If we had more people thinking the way that they think, and not just in it for the money, then we may actually have a treatment today that appeals to most hair loss sufferers.

The quote: "The hair loss market is both large and underserved, affecting over 40 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone, but with less than 7% of sufferers currently seek treatment due to the limitations of available options. HSC represents a potentially revolutionary new injectable treatment for the millions suffering from hair loss, offering benefits over daily-use, limited efficacy prescription products as well as invasive surgical treatments".

and the graphs, eventually falls out

Right, the "graphs". The grafts never fall out if they extracted from the safe zone. Why do you misinform people, do you want them to join you in your misery?

A lot of NW5-6 have had successful FUE's.

[hellouser]

And you think a full-blown cure will only cost 140$ of course.

Look, you want your hair back or you don't. You can have 4000 grafts done for 8000€ by a top doc in Belgium. I think it's more than fair to truly get a good part of your hair back. But no, people just like to moan.

You don't think rationally, do you?

Alright fine, you get a good part of your hair back. Then what? You continue to to go bald, and the other areas continue to thin out and eventually turn slick bald. That single and very costly hair transplant doesn't do jack shit. Some guys don't even respond to Finasteride.

But hey, looks like your method is 'good enough' for everyone! Let's all throw our hands in the air with praise because you've figured out a way to do a hack job treatment for hair loss using archaic methods!

My god.

[fred970]

You still have your frame do you? Wait until you turn slick, come back here and tell me the change is not dramatic.

Fill up the third front can completely change a person's look. Of course you don't know that because you're still a NW3.

I wouldn't know? Now you're being deliberately stupid.

[fred970]

What will you do when you'll be NW5-6? Nothing? Just stay bald and miserable because you find the solutions we have today useless?

I have an investment with them so I know people there. I don't have a lot of inside information or anything like that. I reached out for clarification when people started assuming that they were not moving forward. Anyway, I just wanted to pass on that Histogen are not shutting down or shelving HSC.

I don't think Dr. Naughton has time to keep the public updated on every move they're making, nor to field every rumor that surfaces on the Internet. I would assume much of the communication is also curbed by the FDA during this process. It's a long and tedious process.

she doesnt have time to tell us that they are trying to move forward with phase IIb?

it's been silence for months, we had the investment, then that dissapeared, IIb should've been started almost a year ago!

Yeah, a post like this just cries out for more information. What exactly did you ask them and what did they tell you? Did they confirm that phase IIb has started yet?

Doesn't matter what answer they give unless its 'we're releasing the product in....' or 'we're closing development'. Everything else is corporate bullshit. Only way to get a straight answer from them is to force it out of them or have their computers and pull out data from there.

Take everything they say with a grain of salt unless its 100% confirmed.
