Bimatoprost finishing up Phase IIb trial!

[rambo007]

From what I understood - nothing will ever be an effective treatment because Rogaine doesn't do much. That is basically what baldybald was trying to tell us

[wilymon]

Right, Lantanoprost should work easily as well as the Bimatoprost. I used Latanoprost for several months and noticed no change, nada. I use to buy 6 bottles at a time from Costco for about $58 I believe. I am not sure the opthalmic strength was appropriate for hair growth however.

Wow! That is cheap. What brand were you buying? Did you need to have a prescription?

[jman91]

does anyone think that, if the results released in jan are good, it would affect allergans stock price at all?

[35YrsAfter]

fin is 'supposed' to maintain ... important part in there is "supposed" (same goes for Dut)
I've been on Fin and Dut for over 10 years ---> still going bald , only slower than I would have without the meds (I'm guessing)

I have seen some impressive finasteride results. Hopefully you're not using the generic version that can be purchased online without a prescription.

Yes, dramatically you'd have to assume that if the investors like what they see.

This would be a monopoly on the market, FIN is the only alternative and Minoxidil is practically useless.

It is, and the fact that it's seen as a viable treatment option is laughable. It's nothing but another bit of snake oil.

Hey Chuck, have you ever heard of anyone switching from generic fin to brand name and had a lessening of sides etc? I've had tremendous success with generic, but there are the sides. Thanks!

I've seen minor positive results from users, but 99% of them were older, and did not have agressive loss.

Ive yet to see a guy that was young and started using it as he was thinning out and get results.

for me i use it as it gives a slight thickening affect to my hair the next day when I apply it, nothing major or too noticable, but just slightly better than if I dont use it.

BIM on the other hand seems very promising, at least from grey market results at a low dose.

A friend of mine was using Latisse on her eyelashes but was sloppy about applying it. As a result she started sprouting some thick hairs on the side of her face. The stuff is pretty powerful even at a low dose.

If this turns out to work well, it could prove a lot with regards to prostaglandins and hair loss. Very exciting.

I agree its exciting just to see how well the prostaglandins approach might work. It also makes you curious about further research into pgd 2 to see if removing bad ones combined with increasing good ones like this has some exponential effect.
The prostaglandins approach could be a cure if you untangled the right combinations you needed.

Does anyone know the date clinical trial results are released?

[Illusion]

Yeah I wonder when they're going to publish results... As far as I know, the study is finished in january so I don't know how long it takes to collect and publish data? I could be wrong though about the study itself being finished in january and not necessarily the results being posted in january.

Have you seen this clinical trial by Duke University? There are results published on July 2014.

How come we haven't seen this yet if it was published months ago?
Results are very good with 0.03%... I can't imagine what higher concentrations would yield!

This is a Duke University study and it says it's for Phase 2. It's been completed with great results. Phase 2? They're actually going through the FDA gates?

Is Latisse coordinating it? How about the trials that were supposed to be completed in January '15?
