Histogen Update - Spencer Kobren Speaks With Dr. Craig L. Ziering

[Davey Jones]

In the meantime, most of the laid-off employees are continuing to work without receiving pay, at least not right away.

It's a miracle that Histogen even recovered from that at all....

I want to kiss every single one of those people right on the mouth even more than I want SkinMedica to have a singular face that I can punch square in the nose.

LOL


ya just like their last timeline.....




these guys wont have anything anywhere until 2020

SkinMedica lawsuit set them back.... do you remember what happened in 2009?

Histogen, a San Diego company that revealed promising trial with a hair regrowth product last week, is about $1 million in debt and is staying afloat on the credit cards and cash of Chief Executive Gail Naughton.

Jan. 29, the day before the company was to close a $2.4 million funding round, investors pulled out, Naughton said. As a result, Histogen was forced to lay off all of its 36 employees until it could secure new investors, she said.

In the meantime, most of the laid-off employees are continuing to work without receiving pay, at least not right away.

“Basically we have 19 to 20 people working as if nothing happened because they believe in the product and the company. They don't want to shut down the experiments they are running,” Naughton said yesterday. “Obviously they cannot do this a long time. It's a short-term situation.”

It's a miracle that Histogen even recovered from that at all....

2020 release? They are well into clinical trials, with incredible results. I highly doubt it will take 8 years for this to be released.

2014 Asia, 2015 US. I'm still confident in this timeline.

[yeahyeahyeah]

LOL

Why not? They know their technology works. Why would it take so long?

[NeedHairASAP]

Phase 2 will last a full year - january to december.

Yes, phase 3(if even needed for Asia) will start sometime in 2013 and ends in probably 2014.

2014-2015 for asia and 2015-2016 is not unrealistic at this point.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that they were also developing a device for the treatment. I don't remember where, I'll see if I can find it. But nonetheless for me the number of injections is the last thing I'm worried about

that would be awesome. More injections means more time consuming procedure = more expensive. I dont care about the pain of multiple inhections tought

Or they might advance they findings, up the dosing take away a little of this add a drop a that and viuala , MAGIC....all u need is is one injection..

that would be excellent.

MY ONE AND ONLY PROBLEM WITH HISTOGEN -- the number of injections.... please keep it low...

on a flip note, how would you feel if you rushed over to Asia and get 1000 injections for mediocre uneven results looking like mange, then when it reaches the states and all you need was 4 for a perfect NW0?

wow I didn't need to see that....

Ouch.
Sounds no worse than the thousands of cuts made during a transplant though.

It would probably be less painful than a head tattoo (SMP). And a lot less painful than the emotional pain of losing one's hair....

I imagine it looking something like this:

Actually, that is exactly what I was thinking too. Ha ha

[Follicle Death Row]

Haha. Nice one gmonasco.

They could always map your scalp and create a template, similar to the way prosthetic hair is made, to get the injections right.

The number of injections it might possibly be does not bother me - as long as their treatment works. They could always map your scalp and create a template, similar to the way prosthetic hair is made, to get the injections right.

Exactly. Labour intensive but not moreso than HT already is. Like the mapping out idea.

[doinmyheadin]

If your treatment results in the agonizing death of 1 out of every 100 patients (maybe they have some rare, recessive gene, for instance), then a 50 person phase 1 trial isn't necessarily going to catch that. A 3000 person phase 3 trial, on the other hand, might. There is actually a reason for the way things are done. I agree it's frustrating, but personally I don't plan on rushing off to Asia the instant this is available.

1 in 100 thats on par with finasteride. I think a lot of people would be happy with those odds.
