Histogen's FINAL Phase I/IIa Results (2013)

[Arashi]

I do not get too depressed .... at least until they are confirming this information! I just sent an e-mail, I hope that they will respond. To be honest, I've given too much hope in Histogen.

Hehe. I always try to remain positive. But man ... these data suck. I hadn't expected the effects to wear off over time, let alone so damn quickly !! And they can't really up the doses much because of the health risk (adverse effects on hemoglobin count). So to me it seems we can scratch Histogen as one of our future treatments. Or am I missing something ?

Man, I've accepted the fact that our only hope is Dr. Nigam.

Scratch it off already? Geez...just last week histogen would be the dam cure

This really sucks. Histogen has been keeping me positive this last year, now were back at nothing promising.

Don't forget he's also been using (pretty much the same) growth factors as Histogen. So this is bad news for Nigams too.

Maybe I'm underestimating those results and there's still hope for Histogen, but I don't see it. Desmond maybe ? Anyone else ?

Who knows what this could do combined with other treatments though....

and at least we got good news about Replicel this week.

This really sucks. Histogen has been keeping me positive this last year, now were back at nothing promising.

Well replicel just found a (huge) investor, throwing money at them, so at least this investor sees some possibility of their trial II becoming a success. And don't forget Jahoda et al succeeded recently at biogenerating a human hair follicle and have it grow on human skin. So Histogen most definately wasn't the only one to bring hope. But yeah, agreed, it still sucks hard.

[Arashi]

Dr Nigams relativated the importance of this to his methods . Let's all hope he's right. We could use some positive news after this for once ...

Is it not just the temporal regrowth that's rubbish (5%)? The rest doesn't seem too bad. And I don't really respond well to fin and minox so this wouldn't be too bad for me
