Aderans

Some really good news for everyone following this thread- Aderans is already opening up screening (in select areas) for Phase 3 trials. Check out their clinical updates site posted below-

I always try to check the website once a week, and was pleasantly surprised this time.

Huh? For me it still only talks about phase II??

Only slide over the Radiant Research sites and you'll see it.

I think you're correct. They're starting the screening process and since phase II has completed enrollment it must be for the phase III study. That would be a very significant step forward.

Someone who knows there stuff, when do you honestly think Aderans will bring something to the market, and do you think their Phase 3 results will be good?

5 years.

Prob 2 years.

I believe their major setbacks/delays were in the first half of their elongated Phase II trials, meaning the remainder should roll out as scheduled. As I've said before, each trial lasts 52 weeks with the current trial ending in February and Phase III starting somewhere right along that time.

In reference to first half of your question, with Aderans being by far the largest company in hair loss trials (monetarily), having just bought Hair Club to add to their portfolio that includes Bosley, I would say they are very well prepared for a marketable product. Phase II enrolled 350 total participants, much higher than the 20-40 you see from other companies. While it's not the best solution, it's a really good stepping stone.

It is basically just unlimited donor supply right? If I knew for sure this was coming in the next 3-5 years, I'd be way less reluctant to get a HT now. I'd probably want a HT before it came out anyway from a reliable doctor I could trust with my hairline.

Also, when this stuff is out, you think all HT surgeons are going to incorporate it into their practice? Does it really change the procedure that much a part from the cloning process?

I figure this would make HT cheaper (they could be snakes though and charge more), so as long as money aint a problem, it is very close to a cure, everyone would be a candidate for a HT right?

Are they going to make the hair grow on one spot on the head and transplant it to another?

Initially Aderans may only offer it thru their own companies. But like everything on this forum it's only speculation.

How can bosley **** up a HT with unlimited donor hair?

Everyone is talking about this like Aderans is transplanting ready-made follicles onto the scalp. I thought that this was an injectable similar to Replicel just using different cell types. They take a donor plug, multiply and cultivate the cells and then re-inject them into the recipient area. I'm I wrong?

No, you're right:

http://www.aderansresearch.com/ari_science.html

A small piece of tissue is removed from the neckline. Cells are cultivated in controlled conditions where they are encouraged to multiply by the addition of proprietary growth media. When enough new cells are formed, they are returned to the scalp, where they are injected and elicit new hair growth and thickness, ultimately producing more hair than the client had before.

I think you need tissue engineering or something to create them outside and then transplant on humans.
