If Intercytex Has Completed Phase I Trials…
Dr. Rassman,
Thanks for taking time out from your busy schedule to help answer our questions.
I was quite interested in one of your blog entries about Hair multiplication and the process that is involved with it. You mentioned a failed experiment by Dr. Unger where the new injected hair did not settle in well. For all of us looking for the answer to hair loss, i am sure safety is the most important.
My question is that if Intercytex has completed phase I (safety trails) this means that they have overcome one major obstacle that should be put to rest.
If not, that does Dr. Unger have any more comments?
Thanks once again for your time and work.
Just because phase I trials were completed, it does not necessarily mean the technology is valid. Phase II and phase III still need to be completed, then followed by FDA trials. Based on the Intercytex presentation at the ISHRS meeting I attended last month in San Diego, phase II trials should be completed by the end of 2008.
Personally, I would not hold my breath.
I believe intercytex says the Phase II trials will be done by the end of 2007. They started several months ago and are expected to last 12 months.
