Why would they compare it to minoxidil when they are clearly going down a "new mechanism" path of marketing? Even if it beat minoxodil in the trial they'd have pigeon holed themselves into the exact category you're pretending they're already in, another worthless money pit that hardly works. Except then it would be obvious to regular people as well and not a jr. hair scientist on a forum.
I'm not a fan boy in any way shape or form. I'm literally just saying to wait for real data before making your concrete judgement.
Seriously. His expectations for what constitutes exciting are also insane with the current pipeline, when the vast majority of us would be absolutely thrilled if this offered a 20-30% increase in terminal density over the course of a year. To him that's Turkish foreskin lotion though.
Bro, you really had too much Duta and RU...
Based on what? I find hard very hard to believe that this company just threw tens of millions into the gutter if it was obvious from phase 2 data that this product would never get into the US market. Actually, nevermind the money, they're risking their entire company's image, valuation and reputation on this and one more drug using the same pathway. A large failure would be a massive blow to their company.
Their phase 2 results had 12% growth in terminal in 90 days for the complete population, and 20%+ in the "optimal population" of NW4 or less and under 45 years old. Do you have any insight into what's coming in phase 3 data that would suggest this could drastically change?
The study has been done on the optimal population (NW4 and <45) and even on NW3. Results will be higher than for the phase 2.
But how is RU a OTC treatment? Most people who are not on these forums would look at you like you've gone insane if you told them you were rubbing chemicals with no human safety data on your head.
I have not, but again, that goes much further into the realm of potential health consequences then standard over the counter 5% min. Trying to avoid things that might affect the heart.
Who knows. They could also never be presented.
Holy sh*t 35% growth at the 1 year mark?
I take back all the mean things I said about Samumed, this is incredible. Am ordering some SM now.
