RepliCel Reports Progress on Shiseido Technology

[Artista]

I had spoken with Tammey George of Replicel last night (US time)
We have had a few talks in the past so it was great to speak with her again.
It was a very nice conversation- basically what we have been reading online here.
This is very positive advancement of theirs and not just with hair.

Any news about the progression?

It would be great if we could get confirmation that they have actually started the phase IIb trial that was supposed to start during the first half of 2014.

3 years, really?

damn it. this is so faaaar away.

3.25 years actually (39 months, specifically).... so 2017. And 2018 for a treatment if they plan on releasing it in Asian jurisdictions after Phase II trials. So 4 more years. Phase II should have started at least a year ago.

so they're going to start phase 2B? where are the results of 2A then? i thought the results i was looking at on their website were from phase 1.

Those are the Phase I results on their site.

It's another Aderans in the making.

artista, can you ask them when phase 2 results will be ready then?
is it possible for us to get an earlier insight into it? numbers and percentages about regrowth would be interesting. if they were able to increase the 14% average regrowth through different dosing this would be great already.

I was under the impression Replicel did a combined Phase 1/2a trial. I might have confused them with Histogen.

Now I was reading about this specific law Replicel is using to speed the delivery of their product in Japan and according to Market Watch - a reputable site dealing with business news "Japan's new policy requires an early stage clinical trial (call it a Phase I or small Phase II) at the minimum to confirm safety of the therapy and provide some plausible evidence of efficacy. Rather than requiring that the therapy then be evaluated in subsequent trials before making it available to patients, Japan's new law will allow for a "conditional approval" enabling the product to be brought to market, and for the product to obtain reimbursement in an accelerated manner."

So if I understand this correctly, does this not mean that they can start testing it on patients right away since they have already completed their phase 1 trial?
