Replicel's update 23 October 2014

[FearTheLoss]

I'd guess if they get very positive results by the end of next year, they will try to get it out to the public as soon as possible.

The sooner they do that, the sooner they can get many thousands of dollars from me... and thousands times more from other people.

Japan's new legislation allows commercial release DURING phase II trials. So... any time
between now and the next 39 months is *possible*. Don't bet on it though... thats likely not in gods 'divine' plan.

What about Histogen then? If they are doing trials in Japan, could they not go ahead and release HSC?

can someone give a quick summary of replicell is and how it's supposed to work?

A certified clinician takes a small (4mm) biopsy of about 10-20 hair follicles from the back of the patient's scalp. Dermal Sheath Cup (DSC) cells are isolated and then replicated in a culture (3 months), and then reintroduced back into balding areas on the patient's scalp. The implanted cells are expected to rejuvenate damaged hair follicles. Expected treatment time is thirty minutes for tissue collection and less than an hour for cell injection.

In simplest terms, 1) extract hair, 2.) extract DSC cells from hair, 3.) replicate cells, 4.) inject cells, 5.) regrow hair, 6.) profit.

Not exactly 39 months. From my understanding ~24 months for the Replicel trial. There is not a whole lot of info out there about the Shiseido-trial. Call me crazy, but this time I think we might get lucky

I have a good feeling we are all going to be smiling soon.

If you watch Replicel's recent presentation at the Stem Cell meeting, their CEO says Shisheo will do their series of clinical trails (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS3MEz7BglM, at 0:54), and later he says they have to determine the right dose (12:23) (but they will share data with the phase II trail in Germany). So we still have to wait a while.

Do you think Replicel will be good for people after hair transplant?

Yes. why should it not? I believe that most of the small vellus hair you see under bright light will grow terminal or at least a good amount of them.
And its not about Replicel guys. its about Shiseido. billion dollar company vs. a small canadian research team + some CEOs or whatever...

Someone on this thread said that the new laws in japan lets companies sell their products to consumers during Phase II clinical trails

Alright so lets say theoretically, Shisedo gets really phenomenal results during its phase II trails over the next 24 months.

Could we get access to this treatment within the next 24 months?

Who said Shiseidos trial will last 24 months? The new law says, that a product can go to market after the safety is shown during phase 2 trial, since the safety was shown by Replicel after 6 months, it maybe 6 months. If they think, people are willing to spend money after "beta-version" they will provide it and why shouldnt they. I imagine sdsurfin will join the conversation with a 27line long answer about rainbows and unicorns.

Sorry I must have misread. Thanks for the correction

And heck yes, I would try a beta version of the product.

Yeah its hard to keep up with all this stuff. I mainly concentrate on Replicel/Shiseido, cause its the only thing I believe in.
So would I my friend, and so would a whole lot more guys, because of that I am optimistic...A product with which humanity can kind of play god, improve self portrayment and make a lot of cash...
