Replicel 2016

[TowerT]

Does anyone know if the phase 2 trials of replicel have begun ? They were supposed to start in the first 6 months of this year from what I could read.
Also I guess it's far to early to hear has an estimated price for treatment been rumoured ?

A price was mentioned in a Japanese article somewhere. It was a very cheap price, around 1000 dollars. Not sure how accurate that is. I don't think it's very relevant yet, we don't even know what the results will be.

I think $800 was the starting point, but the price will be set by each individual clinic.

^ This. The amount regulatory BS involved in bringing out a treatment is just unbelievable! We can all thank the Snake oil salesmen of 1900s for this mess. Sigh

Someone should send a email asking what's going on. They should have started their trial.

I think they would have released a press release lol, wouldnt this be kind of a big deal since its the last trial in Japan theyd need before commercializing?

Last I've read, Shiseido was still being red-taped by the Japanese government.

 

[FWIW]

This source claims Shiseido along with Tokio uni started hairloss trial.I guess its replicels technology. Anyone speaking Japanese coul translate better than google?

"By the way, Toho University, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and Shiseido announced starting clinical trial in news of today.

More concretely, Professor of this two university will conduct clinical trial, and Shiseido will make and increase hair bulb root sheath cells.

I think this theory of cure is same as replicel."

The quote above is from a guy who can read Japanese. So I guess these universities will probably conduct the clinical trial for Shisheido..?

 

[distracted]

Finally! Trials are starting!

Wow, It's finally starting. This is fantastic news!

Didn't Replicel already perform trials with very underwhelming and lacklustre results? So why should the results of Shiseido's trial using the same method as Replicel be any better?

I think Replicel sold Shiseido a dud technology. Shiseido will either can it or commercialise it anyway; they already said that the cost of the treatment will be quite low (less than 1k dollars), which doesn't bode well for high efficacy.

It didn't have great regrowth but it may halt further hair loss.

 

[Breaking Bald]

Wouldn't Replicel be making an announcement also!? Aww man I really hope this leads to something...

Didn't they measure results pretty quickly too? So better results may have transpired, but we don't know that yet... That coupled with the idea that we aren't limited to being injected once seems like it has the potential to do much more than halt hairloss... From everything hellouser has said from his discussions with the company is the goal is regrowth from Replicell, not just halting it.

Breaking Bald hahah I love your name. :,D

Haha cheers!

The only trials they've performed were for safety, not efficacy, so it's not surprising the results were lackluster.

The next trial they'll increase dosing.

Some update... Credit to that nosyu guy

These universities and shiseido cooperate for same treatment and this treatment is different from Tsuji lab’s.

This figure of pink and blue shows relationship of this cooperation.

I don’t know expected result, even don’t know when they start a clinical trial.

Interestingly, researcher thinks effectiveness of only a single treatment is permanent.

I wonder how the injections could cover the whole scalp because replicel only talked about 50 injections and 1 injection? Scalp is 600cm2 so you'd need hundreds of injections, from temple points to nape.
