When are the Replicel trials?

[It's2014ComeOnAlready]

I think in terms of the limited approval it's more that they can only offer treatment to residents in Japan. I might be pulling that out of my a** but I think I read it somewhere.

That's nonsense. People get sex-changes, plastic surgery, and other highly invasive medical procedures in other countries around the world as foreigners. This is a punch biopsy in the back of the head, and injections into the scalp. Could be done during lunch.

Find the literature and I'll believe you.

Phase II should have started late spring of this year, but they had ,,manufacturing issues'' which are the reason for this delay. They wrote on their facebook, that the isssues are solved now and the trials will start this year.

Oh no! The trials got delayed again! This means we wont have the data for Phase 2 till 2019!

Where do you see that please?

And you don't talk about Sisheido own trial right?

Wrong. Even after the delays, they've stated they plan on releasing it in Japan in 2018.

Thnaks to Arieux for posting this new pdf from replicel : http://replicel.com/wp-content/uploa...-June-2015.pdf

The sisheido trial will take 24 months, and the safety point take 52 weeks. So they could have the temporary approval before 2018. But maybe they won't want to commercialize it before the results of best doses, and big marketing plan, etc..
Anyway that sounds good

Man I wish we could see some pictures of that first group. Also did they do a follow up? It would be interesting to see if it prevented any more loss, which is obviously very important.

Which means 2019...when have they kept to schedule?

@JayM
In 2014 they stated clearly that prevention for futher hairloss is their main aim:

I mean you no longer have cells that are affected by androgen running in your hair follicle on top of your head. So that is a permanent solution. It’s not like you’re taking a drug, which basically juices the performance of what cells are left, but it doesn’t actually change the inevitable outcome. We’re changing, we’re going to reverse and change the inevitable outcome, so those hair follicles no longer are compromised by androgen. That is the goal, and as I said it’s a matter of dose, and frequency that we’re trying to figure out between ourselves and Shiseido.

Yeh dude I know but like am I just meant to take their word for it? I just want to see what tests they did or something to show the new androgen resistant hair compared to the previously susceptible hair. Obviously regrowth is a good sign but that doesn't mean resistant.

I haven't missed anything regarding that have I?
