Shiseido is starting in late spring.

Unfortunately I got the same response a couple of months(about 2) ago. Seems like an e-mail template to me.

Well at least it seems that all the news that comes out on Replicel talks about them being one of the first companies utilizing the japanese stem cell rules to get products to market faster. That being said we know they are going to do everything they can to get it to market, and that all depends on Shiseido's results at 12 months, I would assume.

Well... It's late spring now. Are they gonna get the ball rolling or not?

In their twitter feed they say they are starting trials this year, they also ssy they have some 'exciting news' about rch-01, I wonder what it could be

Have they completed a phase 2 trial, can't they allow access to the treatment after a phase 2 is complete in Japan

They have not completed a phase 2 trial, but they will be able to release it with it complete.

Hey guys,
I e-mailed them and asked whether there was any opportunity of being a participant of german trials cause I'm currently living in Germany. They told me they would send out details on how to participate in the trial as soon as they receive approval to conduct the trial from German regulators. Is there anything I might be aware of? I'm currently on FIN, should I rather stop using it to be allowed to participate? Are there any risks regarding future treatments which might not work no more after this?
Thank y'all

U should of asked when will trials begin? So frustrating all the delays.

[baldingdawg]

Honestly I had thought of 2015?

[Renee]

Personally I'm not to excited about replicel. What excites me are the research teams of:
1) dr Lauster's
2) dr Christiano
3) dr Thangapazham
4) dr Tsuji

Replicel as shown through there clinical trials won't be very good. The phase 1 results varied from person go person a true cure will cure all and that will come when the above researchers work out the final step. Shieshedio is a huge billion dollar company and the 4 million they paid is like us paying 4 dollars. So not much risk for Shiesheido. However I believe shiesheido is also engaged in other research for hair loss with dermal papilla cells, etc.

Does anyone know if Shiseido have begun their Phase 2 trial? It was scheduled to commence in spring 2015.

I had sent an email to Replicel and Shiseido a month back to get some kinda info about the overall update around RCH-01, but I didnt receive any response yet. Anyone closely tracking their clinical trials ?

[Renee]

My hunch is shisheido won't trial replicels technology. However I do believe they will start a trial involving replicels dermal sheath cups cells and ips cells. This is based on a recent article claiming shisheido will have the cure by 2018. http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/07/0...arket-by-2018/

IPS cells? That would be exciting as hell. Hopefully that will happen.

[joel203]

I'm sure shieshedo specifically said they won't be working on the iPS for the 2018 release date (cannot find the link was on the fb site)

you can't just bung some extra stem cells in it. Especially stem cells which have currently only been involved in as many clinical trials I can count on one hand, with most being postponed due to safety. iPSC's are big news but a phase 2 clinical trial of RCH-01 will not involve them.

If they want to do trials with iPSC's then great, but it will certainly be later than 2018.
