As a treatment for glaucoma? Are you f**** kidding me?

Well, I was waiting for some good news...

[JayM]

Well it is used for treating glaucoma...

Does that have any value to us?

[JayM]

Well the guy asked if they were kidding... so I thought it was best to mention that it being used for glaucoma hasn't come out the blue. So it certainly has value to the guy I wrote it to pal.

If BIM for hair was scrapped they would tell investors. Everybody take a chill pill. The waiting game continues.

If BIM was so promising as everyone had been led to believe then why not mention anything to the investors if it was successful?

There is ZERO speculation in my post. I don't know what to make of BIM and will just wait for an official statement.

2nd form of treatment BIM has gone to phase III on(first was eyelash growth which got approved).

Safety doesn't seem to be an issue here, something is up behind the scenes with the hairloss trial, patent issues maybe?

All signs point to this drug being safe and at least in theory effective, so what's the hold up!

Follicept. Failed.
Bim scalp. Failed
what potential treatment we are hoping for will be the next one to enter this treatment graveyard?
This is so discouraging. Even if they said yeah its coming and it works, but will be a year or more away, i would be elated. I just want hope. All we get is false hope and then we are smacked back to reality each time.

Follicept and bim were the only things we might possibly get our hands on in 2015. Now those seem dead and buried.

Does anyone know where is a reputable place to buy pure bim powder. Im tempted to just buy the stuff myself and do a test of 1-2%, even if its expensive as hell. Im tired of the waiting game. None of us are getting any younger.

Still no evidence that bim has failed. Technically, the last trial ended in September, because that's when the primary outcome measure was taken. It has been a very long time, and still, they haven't release results to investors. There is a difference between releasing results to the public and releasing them to investors. Something else is going on here.

When BiqqieSmalls (a shareholder) called them a few months ago, he was told that the results haven't been released yet because of the "complexity of bimatoprost." Also, that they would be released "in a few months." A "few" is a pretty loose term, but it could mean 3-5 months. It's been a very long time, and they could have said it failed.

Investor relations could have dissuaded him and said it didn't do well, without giving any actual details or figures. Instead, they were like a stone wall. There is no reason for this company to be afraid of poor results from this drug for the scalp, because it clearly works for eyelashes and glaucoma. Therefore it's not a total failure. No loss to say it doesn't work for the scalp. But they haven't said that, and they haven't said that for nearly a year.

I have said all along that they do not want the word getting out that it works, because labs, individuals, and maybe other reputable companies would go ahead and purchase bimatoprost in bulk and formulate it themselves. I've also pointed out that in the past, when they were developing latisse, many people tried to get their hands on it (as noted by David Pyott, former CEO of Allergan). This is MPB, not eyelashes, the demand would be greater. The main deterrent is that bim powder is very expensive, and nobody knows if it works. By not letting anyone know, they have the power. They will not release results until they have a product ready to market or sell.

Bim is not dead, but if nothing is announced between now and January, then it is dead imo.
