- As such, Aclaris believes the next step is initiating a double-blind, randomized, controlled Phase 2 dose-ranging clinical trial with higher concentrations of ATI-502, with potentially a female focus, in the first half of 2020.

So 8 new hairs in a cm², that is sh*t right?
I’ve been following this since they initiated the trial, so I feel the need to defend Aclaris a little bit. They stated from the beginning that this was purely “exploratory” and it was a small trial so it’s not like they had a ton of confidence in it from the beginning. It just sucks for us as patients, but at least they tried. Hopefully there is something there for women and maybe there is some legitimacy to the higher concentration working better.
I’m just a little disappointed because it’s not the finasteride killer we’re all dying for. I think your point on many treatments being used in the future to synergistically treat Androgenetic Alopecia is valid, so maybe this will have so utility going forward.

Iv said it before jaks wont do sh*t for Androgenetic Alopecia, a guy regrew hair in a Norwood 4/5 pattern, he was suffering from aa and Androgenetic Alopecia, the pics showed it helped with aa but not Androgenetic Alopecia.People need to stop getting so offended by people not hyping up everything and just have an objective view.
And what were the results for 0.46% minoxidil ?

If that’s the case then the cures have been around for decades.

Nothing to defend, I'm sure we're all happy for any financially-backed organization to try to tackle this horrific problem. Unfortunately, in this case, it's looking like another resounding failure. Let's be honest, it never made sense anyway - we know the mechanism behind AA is completely different than the one behind Androgenetic Alopecia. No way this was ever going to work.
Be happy for people with AA who have it MUCH WORSE than us.

I think instead of finding single drug they should try to clone the doner area hairs. That will be feasible and more practical..

guys as one of the docs explains during webcast you cant really trust hair count per cm^2 as depending if you measure from center of bald spot vs edge will make a big difference. It is better to use visual and doctor/patient opinion, these are the most honest photos I have seen, no bs lighting or bad angle. For me there is pretty good regrowth of hair considering these guys have never taken any treatments to slow hair loss down.
It has also only been 6 months when human anagen phase last 3-5 years. Plus low dosage
Imagine higher dosage with optmised formulation and combined with needling + minoxidil, could get very good results.
Regarding pill form regrowing AA patients hair in Androgenetic Alopecia pattern, you need to read the literature where is shows topical has far more potent effect of hair growth.

They were all supposed to be out by 2020
Now they are postponed for 5 years and finally they will disappear. No hope even if you are 10

Cloning and genetic editing are the only things that will cure this. I agree with @petersonKj . I’m ready to throw in the towel of life.
Lol sure, f*****.
Enjoy your nearly-invisible improvement from this sh*t while throwing probably 40+ for a month's supply of it.
