Spencer Kobren Speaks With RepliCel Life Sciences' CEO and President David Hall

[greatjob!]

I saw one guy who on another hair loss website who was part of Aderans's trial. Apparently what he got out of it were little pores that hair was supposed to grow out of, but either it didn't or the hair was very small and insignificant. But then again Aderans is part of the Bosley enterprise now and your average crack whore has better ethical standards than Bosley. Anyway though, I have much more confidence in Replicel as Mr. Hoffman and Mr. McElwee seem like very decent people. But yeah, I saw one of the Aderans trialists on another hair loss forum, but have yet to see any trial people for Histogen or Replicel on the hair loss forums.

I would imagine the participants in most trails would have to sign a non-disclosure agreement otherwise the company would have no control over when and how their results are released

Difference between Replicel and Histogen?

Dear Spencer...

Thanks for the valueable info that you are providing us about future treatment. However im lost...

Whats really the difference between REPLICEL AND HISTOGEN?

They sound the same and the 2nd part of my question is

Which do you think make more sense and could be achieved sooner?

[DepressedByHairLoss]

Whenever i delve into hairloss research and see the latest possible hairloss cure, i always wonder who the people having the latest treatment done on them, are.

Which people have signed up to these trials, who are they, where they live, what do they do for a living, what do they have for breakfast, i feel they are almost verging on being nonentities and faceless (aswell as hairless) beings from the land of hairloss, but they play the 2nd biggest role in creating 'results'.

Hey, just my thoughts going out to this hairloss soliders that's all!

how come he couldn't answer kobren when he asked if they've replicated a hair or rejuvenated a hair at all yet?


it doesn't sound like they've really done much yet at all... I'd tone down the excitement


I do hope it works though

Until they can provide clinical proof with the study they can't offer any answers on whether they've had any success in humans. I love the quiet confidence. I think you can read between the lines and the absolute confidence in David Hall's voice that they believe they've cracked the nut. They are doing the right thing by letting the science speak for itself. I believe they've done it and we'll all soon know.

[uninformed]

Spencer, I did not have a chance to post prior to your interview with David Hall. Excellent interview and very informative. Aside from his insight, I thought his calm, confident demeanor was very encouraging. But I was wondering if would be possible for you to ask him 1 additional question:

In light of all of the past failures of products/concepts/treatments/procedures that have succesfully grown hair on mice yet failed at the human level, why does Replicel believe (not to mention project a great deal of confidence) that their procedure will be different?

I ask this question, not in a negative light, because I believe they will succeed on a level that has not yet been attained by others. I have read as much of the detailed research as I could find, theirs and other patents, the fact that DSC cells seem to be immune privileged (Jahoda), and everything I can find about their competitors. As positive as that all looks on paper though, what really puts them at the top for me is an intangible: the fact that they raised funding and moved into high gear, seemingly out of nowhere, after Aderans was already in Phase II. Other than assume they might have done a bit of self or under the radar testing, I am curious if there are other scientific reasons behind their confidence. Certainly, their late stage investors must have seen a very encouraging presentation of some sort. Thanks

This is a very good point. Hope everything is well and those big 4 all come up with good results Q1 2012!

What's wrong with being realistic ? These guys haven't showed any results yet and you think it going to come around 2015 ? Get real son.

It's ten years away.

Or it could be a year away or even a month. Who knows ? What if someone discovers a real simple treatment that won't require much on the part of the FDA crooks ? I don't consider myself as an "optimist" but this 10 year crap is just being said to agitate people. It could take a year or 50, we just don't know.

[CAlex]

I dont understand how you saying 10 years is any more realistic then someone saying 5 years.

In the interview it was explained how long trials are expected to take. 3.5 years was the number that kept being talked about. I obviously expect a few setbacks to occur so I think 5 years is a "realistic" time frame for replicel to be released somewhere if it shows shows high enough density regrowth.

you are just saying 10 years because it sounds so far away and will upset others hoping for it. Your timeline is based on zero facts. The guy stated he is not sure if they have created new hairs because it is a double blind study but still explained if it does grow hair 3.5 years is a loose timeline hat is doable.

mojo and richarddawkins just have nothing better to do with their time then to lurk on these forums. All the hair in the world wont fix these two guys.

Additonal Replicel Question

The problem with all forums is that, just like in life, there will always be negative, rude, unhappy people. I trust Spencer Kobren’s opinion because it’s the only one that really counts here as far as if this is a real potential solution and when it might be available. The guys that venture over here from hairsite and the other negative forums, which I can’t stand to read, don’t know anything about anything. They are just fools who like getting a lot of attention on hair loss forums. People who conduct themselves like that should just be ignored.
This is exciting and I have a very good felling about it. I'd prefer not to allow these idiots to dictate how I feel about the future of this treatment and will go by the facts. I think everyone else should do the same!

[follicle]

More than likely its not going to be 10 years....there's a huge race between all of these companies to make a lot of money....there not going to wait around for the competition, because of this, I'm sure we will see some sort of cure before 10 years.

Just adding my optimism

It's 10 years away.

DepressedByHairLoss. No my comments were not aimed at you. There are 3 guys that I just see patrol so many threads and just try and cause problems and one of them is already posting on this thread. They basically have destroyed the histogen dr ziering thread.

lots of interesting things in that interview. Great to know some companies already challenging the fda overstepping its role. Might definitely speed things up down the line.

Basically between histogen, Replicel, Follica, and aderans we currently have 4 different methods being tested. Some using drug concoction and others using different types of our own cells to try and coax new growth. Lets just hope one of them is able to produce high density regrowth.

even if nothing arrives until 2017 Id be fine waiting.
