Replicel results released on yahoo

[Davey Jones]

To start things off, I want to remind everyone that the injection was into the temple area. I saw several people wonder why they did that, as they thought it would be impossible to grow any hair at all there. So...that's good, right? This wasn't amazing news, but let's keep the faith, guys. They are doing okay when they're even growing hair in the placebo injection sites! (Har-har.)

All in all, I am happy it worked a little, which means that they can continue research (and I might not lose anything on those 500 stocks). How do these results stack up against Histogen and Aderans results from Phase I at six months?

ccmethinning, you are so right. My apologies to all.
Thanks for clarifying .

LOL


where are 2020 and Kiwi?


now can I say I told you so?


I told you that them not giving a date means they could push back results

I told you that the results would be a weak and/or vague letdown



wow... am I some sort of prophet?

The results could either have been good or bad.

I think you'll need higher odds than 50/50 to predict something accurately and be labelled a prophet.

Maybe you're just a pessimistic person.

Prophet of talking bollox.

In terms of regrowth the numbers are horrible considering it was an insanely high dose. They may have a cellular based treatment to maintain and keep your hair which at least would mean a norwood 3 could put a freeze on hairloss and then fill up the hairline with FUE.

I'm assuming Aderans are miles ahead of this.

[25 going on 65]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this trial was to determine safety and whether or not Replicel can grow hair (in the temples nonetheless). Now we know the answers are yes and yes. No one can predict whether it will succeed or fail, or how much hair it can ultimately grow, or whether Replicel's timetable can compete with those of other companies like Histogen or Aderans. But these results are precisely what was needed for R&D to continue on this treatment. In fact they are pretty much exactly what I expected out of a successful trial.
Was anybody thinking they would announce a miracle cure at this point? Why all this worrying?

This is how medical research works in the USA and in other countries. "Bad news" would have been 0% hair growth. "Terrible news" would have been problems with safety and health. Neither of those things happened.
Relax guys.

I can’t stand the negativity and mean spirits that some people on this forum have. It’s like they have no soul and want these treatments to fail.

That is how it looks to me.

Folks need to learn how to pull their heads out of their butts. This is great news. This is one step closer to bringing a real cure to market.

BTW, a 12% increase would help someone like me a great deal. A little bit can make a big difference. Since it is reasonable to believe these results are compoundable, there is no reason to be so gloomy about it.

[Follicle Death Row]

Thing is though, the number of cells was an order of magnitude or 2 higher than the envisaged treatment dose. Like 10 or 100 times more. They were talking about greater than 20% to beat finasteride. They have certainly fallen way short of expectations.

Consider this, finasteride and minoxidil were serendiptous findings. In other words it was visible with the naked eye. Replicel's treatment is clearly not.
