Bill - Seemiller Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Well, it sure sounds promising but so many things have sounded promising over the last two decades and yet nothing has ever materialized into a treatment let alone a cure. So I suppose we will see yet again what happens with this. But I certainly won’t hold my breath. Other thoughts? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted June 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2019 8.6 hairs/CM2 is nice but still limited. It will obviously help patients of HT to increase hair thickness, but that means you need other treatment too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member VicTNYC Posted June 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2019 Trial results at 6-months are not really impressive but I’ll hold judgment until they release a 12-month result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 20, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yea, honestly I feel like this treatment will probably work better on Alopecia Areata instead of MPB.

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted June 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2019 limited information in the article but it’s good to see people are really trying out there lol. 8 extra hairs is 8 extra hairs... are phase 2 trials always that low of a sample size? i don’t get the point of such a low sample size. also would be nice to know the NW of these patients, if they’re diffused, etc... i dont know the process of getting FDA approved. is stage 2 far in the process? if things go smoothly how much longer?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 20, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well it’s 8 hairs per cm2 which is actually a lot of hair if you consider the average norwood 6 area is about 200cm2. So you figure that’s roughly 1,600 hairs. Definitely an improvement. The FDA requires 4 clinical trials, the 3rd and 4th phase are make or break because they are randomized, double blind placebo-controlled studies. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
