Expectations control for SCUBE3 Research/Science 3/23/2024
SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.

Amplifica is testing a compound called AMP-303 for hair loss, but it's not Scube3 or osteopontin. The timing for the results from the clinical trial is unknown.
community Prediction: Scube3 is never coming out
Scube3, a potential hair loss treatment, is unlikely to be released because it was given to a startup company, Amplifica, which may go bankrupt and fail to bring the treatment to market. Amplifica is prioritizing other treatments over Scube3, which could lead to financial loss and the end of Scube3's development.
community Where are we on SCUBE3? Have they even started clinical trials?
The conversation is about the progress of clinical trials for SCUBE3, a potential hair loss treatment. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community I have heard that Amplifica - Scube3 initiate a human study for AGA, but I cannot find any information about it from clinictrial.gov. Amplifica did not state it is a phase 1 clinic trial or not, it says it is "The initiation of our first-in-human clinical study"
The conversation is about a user seeking information on a clinical trial by Amplifica - Scube3 for Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). The user is unsure if it's a formal phase 1 study.
community New drug for hair loss announced by Amplifica
Amplifica starting clinical trials for new hair loss drug. SCUBE3 protein discovered, stimulates hair growth, could be alternative to Minoxidil and Finasteride.
