Huh?
Why isn't it getting more attention?
On pages 52 to 58 we can see photographic evidence of CB-03-01 for hair (now called Breezula) in action for the first time. They use a 1% dosage.
There are 3 cases shown where the thickness of thinning hair has increased to 90+ μm level (64 -> 97, 62 - > 94, 74 -> 96).
Now I've read that the thickness of human hair varies from 17μm to 180 μm. So as you can see 90μm is a pretty average thickness. This could mean the hair just returned completely to the natural pre-thinning thickness.
So we can either say that the hair have thickened by some percentage, respectively 51,5%, 51,6% and 29,7%, or that they re-thickened to the pre-thinning state (that would be totally awesome!!!). But to be sure of it, we would need to see if for example 20μm diameter hair would also thicken to around 90μm. I wonder what would happen then? Unfortunately there is no such example in the document.
Hell, even if we could get a drug that would thicken hair by 50% + maintain them it would still be great! Shame there is no info about maintenance.
Also, they already completed phase II for acne and proved that the drug is safe ("No adverse events").
IMO it doesn't look bad at all for CB-03-01 (Breezula) as for now.
Giving CB-03-01 names could mean that they are serious about bringing it to the market, both for acne and hairloss.
They plan to release phase III data for acne in H2 2017, so we might see Winlevi (CB-03-01 for acne) on the market sometime in 2018.
I believe Breezula (CB-03-01 for balding) is around 1 year behind Winlevi, so that means phase III results in H2 2018 and release sometime in 2019 or in the worst case 2020.
So far everything seems to be going well for Cosmo and they stick to their dates.
IMO Breezula sound rather promising. We should know more in late 2015 or H1 2016, when they plan to complete Proof-of-concept Phase II (I don't know whether that means only Phase IIa or Phase IIa + IIb though).
CB-03-01 is close. If everything goes well this might be the treatment that might actually fit the infamous "in 5 years" timeframe at last
.
If it's AT LEAST as good as Propecia, minus all the side effects, it will be a MAJOR breakthrough.
