I agree they do need to give more specific information, but they said they are not going to do this yet, not until the end of phase II, yes they could end up giving us another load of vague results and if they do, for me this would confirm they are definitely going nowhere.

Maybe they feel they don’t need to give specific data yet, or maybe their investors don’t want to know the fine details just as long as they know they are making progress, why would they want to present their findings to other scientists at this stage? who knows?

Well they say they are going to analyze data and photos at the end of phase II, I’m just assuming that they would be presented to the public, of course they may not (probably wont).
They are not quite canceling further research, they are going to continue monitoring the phase II patients and analyze their findings at the end, If they get a “partner” phase III or commercialization could commence. If they get no “partner” then yes they have said further research will be stopped.

I see where your coming from, but maybe its the wording you use and the way you come across that gets to people. Remember this is a board for people who are ‘suffering’ from hair loss come (if hair loss didn’t bother them they wouldn’t be here) They come here to seek advice and as this is a HM forum (something not yet available) people that come hear are hopeful that something will come out near term to ease their ‘suffering’.
Your right to say people shouldn’t be too optimistic and plan their whole lives around the next little update and view all the news as good news but at the same time there is a reason to be optimistic as there was some good news in the announcement and one day there will more than likely be some form of HM, maybe not from ICX but from Follica or even Aderans.
For all we know ICX could believe their results are extremely promising and the “partnership” thing could just be part of their plan to get ICX to market as soon as possibe(but again they could just be up sh*t creek without a paddle).
some people are just trying to envisage HM being here soon to help themselves feel better about their hair loss. Hope is good for morale, if we didn’t have that then every one would be hopeless and depressed.

Well some people are trying to contact ICX to get the answer they feel they deserve.
I get the feeling you would mock people for trying to contact ICX and see them as having no chance of getting a reply(getting a detailed reply would be unlikely) at least they are trying and not just writing about how much they want real answers and doing nothing but moan about it.
» why not issue hair counts? is this so difficult? that would give some idea
» of the progress of the studies, yet they refuse to do that,
I agree they should issue hair counts ect it would make everyone feel happier about where they are with the technology, but I’m sure they have their reasons (good or bad).
Maybe because they want to gather all the data they need before making and/or releasing detailed analysis, maybe they are making the analysis now but I’m sure they are not holding out on releasing them just for the sake of misleading people. There is the possibility that they don’t think that every wants/needs the specifics right now (I know we want them, but why should that concern ICX?) These are just possibilities and could be miles away from the truth, as could saying they are flat out refusing to release info.

Yes I understand how marketing works and how press releases work.
Your right they have to use words to make it sound good, they would also have to word it so that the broadest range of their current target audience can understand.
If they were not doing well and knew that they would soon have to drop the product they would have to say and they would as ICX are a legitimate company(they did hint that it would be over if they run out of money).
Again the only reason it doesn’t inspire confidence is because it didn’t contain the words you wanted to hear.
This partnership thing is either them crying out for more cash or they were planned this all along, remember they are not selling TRC, merely sharing it.

Okay so you weren’t completely wrong, but you weren’t completely right either, it’s your pomposity that makes people not want to believe you altogether.

Again this is what you are also doing.
Remember just because it is your opinion doesn’t make is right. You have every right to your opinion but so does everyone else.
Healthy skepticism is great, but there is a fine line between skepticism and unfounded slander, very few of your posts were “healthy skepticism”
I’m sure most people on this board are capable of weighing up all the options and seeing most possibilities, you don’t seem to have that ability.
There is also room for healthy optimism, hoping and dreaming but that should not replace the actual truth nor should the optimism be to great as there is a possibility of heartbreak or despair if things go wrong.
I’m not claiming everything I have said in this post is right, I’m just trying to show you that there could be other explanations to what you think is right. You don’t know anything about TRC that is fact.
