This would be amazing if it could bridge me(us) to Replicel. Praying for good results.

This probably won't be available for another 3 years if it goes into production - they still have to plan and run their phase III trial and handle everything that goes into production. If we're lucky, Replicel will be available in Mexico sooner than this.
However, I also have high hopes for this - can't wait to see the initial phase II results.

I have no medical or scientific background. Could someone please explain what the above implies? Does this mean that they are conducting another phase 2, or that they are extending the length of time that they are investigating the results of the phase 2? Alternatively, something else? Thanks.

They have finished first phase 2 (October 2014 - November 2015)

and now they are expanding their second phase 2 (biopsy)

Guess: they are extending the current trial by 45 days, so probably shit is still happening that they can monitor. If it was a dud, they wouldn't extend it.

Samumed has extended follow-up of it's scalp biopsy study to 135 days for secondary endpoints.

Hopefully this means that they've seen good results - and are hoping they get even better with time.

Can't wait to hear the formal results of their Phase 2 study.

I see two reasons of expending this trial.

1) They didn't see expected results in this time and gave it more time
2) They saw some results and want to study it more.

Just hope they show good results from their first phase 2 trial. That should hopefully be presented soon.

When has that ever been the case? When is it ever "good news" that a study has to be extended? Never.

Looks like we can take SM off the list.

Hopefully it's not the opposite and results have been inconclusive.

I guess we can't know for sure. But their main Phase 2 trial is completed - and they issued a press release saying the preliminary results are very promising - enough to justify moving forward with a Phase 3 trial.

So hopefully their extending this second Phase 2 trial (that involved Scalp Biopsies) is reflective of their believing that the results will be sustained (and hopefully get even better) even after therapy is stopped (treatment is for 90 days - and this extension is at 135 days - so 45 days after coming off treatment).

But who knows - as always - just speculation.

[champpy]

Good lord, isnt this the 2nd or 3rd time they have extended this phase 2? I beginning to worry that we wont have results on this till 2017
