Isolagen Initiates Phase III Clinical Program to Investigate Isolagen ...
EXTON, Pa., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isolagen(TM), Inc. (AMEX: ILE) announces the initiation of a Phase III clinical program to investigate Isolagen Therapy(TM) for the treatment of moderate to severe acne scars. Isolagen also has a pivotal Phase III clinical program underway to evaluate the Isolagen Therapy in treating nasolabial folds, or wrinkles. "Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from acne which often scars, a condition that can be very distressing and difficult to treat as there are few options currently available," said Nicholas L. Teti, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Isolagen. "We are pleased to be initiating this important clinical development program which we believe will address this largely unmet medical need." Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Isolagen Therapy in patients with moderate to severe acne scarring on both sides of the face.
Acne And Rosacea Getting You Down? Laser, Light And Cosmetic Treatments Give Patients A Much Needed Boost
It is estimated that approximately 50 million people in the United States alone are affected by acne vulgaris, and another 14 million Americans experience the redness, flushing and pronounced blood vessels associated with rosacea. While there are no cures for these persistent skin conditions, dermatologists are broadening their treatment options to include laser, light and cosmetic therapies that are proving effective in managing these conditions and improving patient satisfaction.
Speaking at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologist Jenny J. Kim, MD, PhD, FAAD, assistant professor of medicine and dermatology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), in Los Angeles, Calif., discussed the latest approaches for treating acne, acne scarring and rosacea with laser and light therapies by themselves, in combination with each other or with cosmetic treatments, such as fillers.
Dalians ease to victory
ROCHDALIANS got back into action last weekend, after a three-week break, and swept to a 4-0 Lancashire and Cheshire League win over Hazel Grove. Both teams looked rather ring rusty, and the game lacked quality and cohesion for periods, but Dalians were clearly the better side on the day. The only decent moves in the first half came from Dalians who were rewarded on 22 minutes when Callum Whitehead won possession, cut inside, and drove home from 18-yard out. Another goal came early in the second half when Chris Ogunyode side-footed home to round off one of the best moves of the game. Dalians continued to press and made it 3-0 on 70 minutes when the hard working Armstrong cut in from the left and curled the ball into a top corner of the net.
