Should email the company* and ask. Obviously Australia is an important market for them as they aren't even doing trials in China yet despite almost guaranteed clearance.
They are not doing a phase 1 to check if it's worth it, no one does that. Phase 1 is generally 100% safety related.
They're doing a phase 1/2 because Australia clearly declined to allow a P2 to start in their country without data for that dose level or on men at all.
You realize that they can still launch a P2 trial in the USA or EU right? There is no press release with this Aus trial, meaning they probably have other things ready to launch/announce before they start issuing the final press release.
Looks like you gained a bunch for sure even towards the back. You might get a better indication of progress if you did shave it though, easily to tell and probably a lot more manageable.
Some guy gave you a 4/10 troll but this is like a 2/10 at best. You're so dumb you don't even understand the slightest bit about how minoxidil works, yet are using it as your one and only argument.
It was tested on macaques before humans afaik. It's not actually very much less efficient on macaques then humans, I was using hyperbole to highlight how flawed the logic is to do comparisons based on dosage and efficacy to say it's easier to grow hair on one of the other.
The antibody we're...
So your rebuttal is you know what you know and that studies exist but we are the fools because we don't believe you?
Someone already explained to you why humans have a worse overall responder rate to topical minoxidil then macaques (the enzyme varies more in humans) but have the same 100%...
Hey 9 post account, can you provide even 1 study that isn't 2% minoxidil? Seriously link us a single study that showed hair growth in macaques but not humans, otherwise you're full of sh*t.
There are 4-5 readily available studies that prove the opposite of what you just said (finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil...
Although it is apparently more difficult to spell the word macaques then humans.
The macaque model seems to be basically interchangeable with humans for androgen related hairloss. If you could provide a single example of a drug that was successfully tested on them vs failed humans I'd love to...
It is going to be a 12 month treatment based on the macaques. They were not fully cured and the researchers made the comment that they did not begin to see a plateau in results at the 6 month mark.
Yeah, the price is irrelevant at this point. We should just be hoping that this actually is a step towards a legitimate treatment or even semi-cure if it corrects the root cause of the problem. After that's been validated, we can worry about how much it will cost us.
