Senior Member Pale_Rider Posted May 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) mahhong logically in financial way that scenario may be true because this is just another fin/dut "solution" and making money on desperate people bringing them half-cocked solutions. Personally, I think if they do not make a good solution affordable for the masses people will more less and less go to HT?s. That technique is middle aged, would you like to go and place leeches on yourself just because those "new" leeches now are mechanical and not swamp ones? now in the 21 st century? I believe not. Baldness is getting more and more accepted every year and people will simply not going to give their hard earned money to some half-ass solutions that give again bad results and shove poison "medications" down their throats for the rest of their lives. If people would boycott those primitive methods HT and potential future "half-ass HT?s" they would have made scientists to make something worth of their money.

Regular Member slowjo Posted June 13, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 13, 2010 Would the FDA have to approve this treatment since they are only using the patients own cells much like PRP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FinHairLoss Posted June 14, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have no professional knowledge about this...but it seems some other companys are marketing and selling stem cell solutions to hair loss (recoverup), so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have to be approved. However I think aderans is gettin towards the end of phase II trials regardless. There is probably a way bigger market if its approved by FDA etc. again I really don't know much about the drug world and its rules but thats my guess.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 14, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2010 Because some of these "future" therapies involve cloning (multiplication) mechanisms and stem cells (new therapies), I assume these companies will seek FDA approval. Especially for marketing purposes.

Regular Member Davis Posted June 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 21, 2010 Has HSC been evaluated for safety yet, or is that what this 2nd phase trial will find? If it has been found safe and they just want to see how well it can work.. I live in NYC and won;t mind adding an extra commute to my routine First transplant with karamikian 6/05, less than 1000 to my hairline, result was mediocre at best. 2nd HT with Feller 2/08, 3000+ to my front third.

Regular Member Davis Posted July 11, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2010 From what I remember the problem with ICX was that the multiplied hairs grew the first time, however they did not survive the hair cycle, and as soon as they fell they never grew back. Hopefully whatever procedure is being used here will work over the long run.. First transplant with karamikian 6/05, less than 1000 to my hairline, result was mediocre at best. 2nd HT with Feller 2/08, 3000+ to my front third.

The company is on target to enroll its 200th subject in its Phase 2 clinical study by the end of this year. Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 16, 2010 Aderans Research Institute (ARI) is approaching a key milestone in its hair regeneration program. The company is on target to enroll its 200th subject in its Phase 2 clinical study by the end of this year. This expansion reflects the advances in ARI’s cell engineering solutions for those with pattern hair loss. “The results are very encouraging and are reinforcing the scientific basis of our technology and product offering,” said Kurt Stenn, M.D., Vice President Research and Chief Scientific Officer. Ken Washenik, M.D. Ph.D., Executive Vice President commented, “This clinical study is starting to show how our innovative cell-based approach to hair restoration can truly help those who suffer from hair loss.” Launched in November 2008, Phase 2 is focused on finding the most promising cell product treatment from ARI’s Ji Gami™ family of unique products. The 200th subject will be a major landmark in the trial for ARI, as the company will be two-thirds of the way to its goal of almost 300 subjects. Phase 2 completion is expected by the beginning of 2012. Phase 2 is being conducted across the United States for individuals suffering from androgenetic alopecia. Vern Liebmann, Vice President, Operations added, “It is ARI’s hope that our state-of-the-art cell engineering solutions will continue to both positively impact those in the study and eventually set the standard for the industry as a whole.” “We are very pleased and excited by the progress of ARI. They are critical to the future of Unihair and pioneering the field of hair regeneration,” said Tadao Otsuki, President and CEO of Unihair, parent company of ARI and a leading hair loss solutions company.

Senior Member Pale_Rider Posted December 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2010 Finally, some concrete news from Adrerans research. Half of ARI Study Participants See Hair Growth After 1 Year in First Protocol Aderans Research Institute (ARI) recently completed the first of seven protocols of a hair regeneration Phase 2 clinical study, and the results are in: more than half of study participants showed significant hair growth one year after the cell product treatment was administered. Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 15, 2010 Aderans Research Institute (ARI) recently completed the first of seven protocols of a hair regeneration Phase 2 clinical study, and the results are in: more than half of study participants showed significant hair growth one year after the cell product treatment was administered. “The results indicate that our scientific approach, our research and understanding of follicular cell and hair regeneration is headed in the right direction,” said Vern Liebmann, Vice President Operations. “The fact that an increase in hair growth is apparent as far out as one year after treatment indicates our process has staying power. Nobody we know of has produced results like these.” Launched in November 2008, the current phase of the trial is open to select individuals who suffer from androgenetic alopecia. It is focused on finding the most promising cell product treatment from ARI’s Ji Gami™ family of unique cell products. The ongoing protocols are evaluating the additional variants in the family. ARI expects to have the one-year results from these protocols throughout 2011. Two new protocols are scheduled to begin this month, and based on the results to date, they are expected to produce even greater benefits with continued durability of response of observed hair growth. “We now have the building blocks for true cellular hair regeneration. We are excited by this knowledge and have great confidence in what is yet to come,” said Ken Washenik, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President. “The successive protocols will evaluate products that, based on our research, hold even greater promise for cosmetically valued hair growth.” For more information about the clinical trial, visit Follicle Neogenesis, Bio Engineered Hair Loss Solution - Aderans Research.

Senior Member gmonasco Posted December 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2010 Unfortunately, this press release isn't all that informative, as the phrase "significant hair growth" is vague and undefined. A five-fold increase in the number of vellus hairs could be considered "significant hair growth," but nobody experiencing MPB would really find that outcome cosmetically appealing.

Doing something to make the solution vs doing nothing, makes a whole lot of difference in an overall perspective. 10-20-30 years ago no one even tried to do anything about solving that problem.

Senior Member Pale_Rider Posted December 18, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Not so: "baldness cure" - Google News Archive Search Yeah, Colin Jahoda and Angela Christiano made a breaking point in 1990 when Jahoda transplanted a follicle from his head to arm and saw it grew. But no one till now gathered around a team of scientists in such numbers around the globe and actually made real experiments on humans. We haven?t had this for instance. http://www.biotechnologie.de/BIO/Navigation/EN/Funding/foerderbeispiele,did=104568.html?listBlId=77770 Edited December 18, 2010 by Pale_Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will know everything when the time comes for that. I want to see the pictures myself. I see some people are angry and that is understandable, but if it is time to throw "rocks" on someone, that "rocks" should fly on Follica?s windows. I am not trying to start a violence here, I hope you understand that. Cheers. Edited December 19, 2010 by Pale_Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
