ja, the same old tale. You people never learn. Remember that ICX was also saying they would try to launch TRC outside UK to avoid regulations and speed up the launch. Now we have nothing, and the impression that this has been a total fiasco.
So please, ignore these foolish predictions. Just ask for hard proof that they have something working now.
True. But the problem with ICX was that it didn´t work that well. Histogen doesn´t seem to work that well either (the pictures are unimpressive,you would not even notice that the guys grew hair if you saw them irl imo), but we dont know how good it is with multiple injections yet.
Has Histogen been proven to be more effective than the drugs that have already been approved by the FDA to treat hairloss, i.e., Propecia and Rogaine?
I mean, are we talking about a drug which is QUALITIATIVELY better here, or are we talking about just more of the same, something that can keep your hair growing for a while, but which ultimately will not “cure” hairloss or make a big cosmetic difference?
Are we just getting excited about “more of the same”?
Where is the hard evidence, apart from just claims made verbally by Histogen?

Histogen uses WNT signalling, which is the ‘newest thing’ in hair loss research. We do not have concrete proof that this will be better than rogaine/propecia, but we have a pretty good idea that it will be.

Their core WNT-signalling science is WAY more powerful than anything in the past, but the Histogen research itself is not showing signs of major improvements.
Aderans & Folica are liable to make medium-term gains of real significance. Histogen is more of a coin-toss IMHO.

FIve years? Really? They couldn’t have gone with something original like, say, 7 years? That’s why I have more faith in Aderans or Follica - they don’t say a word. The only time you don’t hype is when you’re trying to keep a valuable secret.

You have to love America’s priorities.
You can have a gun today, but your medicine is always 5+ years away.

Hard evidence?.. you mean aside from the WNT research, the photographic proof, and the diligent reports assembled by Histogen? None really, so I guess you’re right. It’s time to go see Dr Rassman for a hair transplant.

multiple injections? well, we also asked this question about TRC. We hoped that maybe repeated treatment with TRC would add more density. HAHA! if it was so easy, ICX would be right now testing that and plenty of investors putting money into it.
Remember that TRC phase I was a “safety”, “low dose” test, where hair was not expected. And they said that they grew some hair. We were enthusiastic, thinking that Phase II, with a higher dose, would produce tons of hair!! but Phase II gave no much better results than Phase I.
Vavelta high-dose gave poorer results than low-dose.
Its not so easy. More dosing doesn’t always mean more results.
It seems that Histogen is repeating ICX’ steps to disaster. I hope I am wrong.
But lack of investors speaks for itself.

They are not saying 5 years. They are targeting 2015 and have been for the last several years.

Exactly, fckhrls. It seems in hairloss research, there’s a reliable inverse relationship between the amount of hype surrounding a product and its chance of failure.

Not necessarily, remember Washenik said in 2002/03 that they will have something in about 5 years, well it’s been 7 years already.

In 2002/03 there was nothing far enough into clinical trials to be out in 5 years. That timeline was illogical from the start regardless of who said it.

You’re calling a set of unimpressive pictures “photographic proof”?
That’s some pretty good spin! If you’re not already on Histogen’s payroll, you should be!!

Um, 2015 is within 6 years at this point, not five.
