That isn't correct.
But again its FT, all lies as always. Not even a simple excel spread sheet can FT get right without lying.
This is why FT is trash, they are never correct and outright lie.
What is Taking Follica So Long? Havent they been phase 3 ready for a while now?

In theory maybe yes, but concretely no since the same sh*t was around 5 years ago and they all failed to deliver anything. So all that powerpoint progress could be an illusion. But I hope I'm wrong and I this thread is about Follica and I don't want to derail this thread
No, they haven't even started or announced a phase 3 trail start. They have/had plans on starting phase 3 this year, but we all know how this year is going already.
And then a FDA phase 3 clinical trails takes 1 - 4 years to complete, so even IF they started this year, it could be everything from (super optimistic) end of 2021 or 2025, and then plus time to analyze and get clinical trail approved and such. so we aren't even close.

I don’t know if this is right for physical things like their needle
What about 100 posts from you where you’re not whinging like a little b-arch.
I’d say there’s more hope for cloning than there is of you becoming a positive poster.
Cmon, dont you think your going a little too hard on the guy?
Was it ever confirmed whether follicas protocol consisted of just microneedling and minoxidil? Or are they also developing a new drug?
According to their website: http://www.follicabio.com/#in-office it definitely states: "CAUTION: Investigational device and new drug. Limited by United States law to investigational use."
So as per their quote it does say "new drug", do we know what this potentially is?

Their first product (the one in trials) will definitely be Minoxidil + wounding.
It remains to be seen whether they will add other stuff in subsequent products.
Based on the fundamentals of their method, the intent was probably to find another drug all along. They've been learning a lot about how the skin works for years. They have probably been hoping another company would already have the drug (or at least have something in development/trials) once they figured out what they needed.
Follica has been chugging along for like 15 years on private funding. That's a long time. IMO the investors have probably been given more reason to hope for a payoff than the public has seen.
My guess is that several years ago the investors were getting antsy for some return on the investment. So Follica decided to go commercial with minoxidil + wounding. It doesn't grow a lot of hair but it will bring in some money while they continue the research.

guys don’t you think that some companies like merk or rogain go and give them money to they stop researching?because this companies are making so much money from minoxidil and finasteride and if they found a cure they should close their company because there is A CURE
maybe there is a real cure but they don’t say to people!
maybe there is a real cure but they don’t say to people!
Maybe there's a car that runs on water but the oil companies are suppressing it.
Conspiracy theories.
Finasteride and minoxidil have never been big earners for the companies. They were developed for other purposes than hair loss. They are still being sold for other purposes now. A big percentage of the original profits are already long gone to the generics. These drugs stopped being a high priority to the companies a long time ago. Decades.

Exactly. They’ve been generic for a while now. As a business man that owns the research to a balding cure with real results, would you accept millions of dollars to stop? Nope, because you’d make billions with your solution

It’s nice to read this / re-read dome facts.
I remember when they switched their comms from new drug to minoxidil and was initially disappointed.
But if Follica release a device that doesn’t need the same FDA approval as a new drug that is somewhat effective or makes minoxidil work better thats f*****g awesome.
Only the worst kind of whinging c__ts will call this a failure.

Edit:
So if Follica is planning to do a Phase 3 in 2021 (let's say they finish recruiting best case scenario middle of 2021) and this takes a year this won't be available before end of 2022 while they check their data and get FDA approvement.
Pretty disappointing for Minoxidil+Needles

Don't be so negative. There has never been so much drugs in phase 3 or in development, and researchers are discovering really potent and safe compounds that we might use before their approval ( ex: KY19382 ). Also, thanks to cancer research that discovered some molecules that act on Androgenetic Alopecia and that we can already use.
The future looks good but yes, we have to wait.
I’m not sure what to make of Follica, it’s been many years in the making, I’ve been coming to these forums for over 10 years and there was talk of it then! After a while you start to not get too exited over any of them as nearly all promising treatments never come to anything.
