HIP-17: Let's Try This Again: Topical TRH as a Non-Drug Hair Growth-Stimulatory Agent

Attention HairForce ! I am hereby reposting the proposal to fund the second collaboration between HairDAO and Cutaneon, who also developed our T34 treatment. While our first vote had 100% approval, it did not reach quorum. Additionally, this vote will take place over 24 hours as Ralf has put a time constraint on winning the deal.

The brief concept is to develop a hair follicle-targeting vehicle that delivers a therapeutically effective dose of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in order to stimulate hair growth and/or reduce hair loss.

TRH is expected to be synergistic with our existing Thyroid Hormone treatment as it operates within the same hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis yet it operates via a completely different mechanism of action. Thus, we believe TRH will be additive to our Thyroid Hormone Treatment.

The terms of the agreement with Cutaneon are as follows:

Cutaneon receives 256.5 K € for one year of research

135K € payable upon contract signature 40.5K* € payable after Milestone 1 Interim Report 40.5K € payable after Milestone 2 Interim Report 40.5K € payable after receipt of Final Report HairDAO owns 95% of the IP generated by the study

HairDAO has the option to purchase the remaining 5% of the IP from Cutaneon with a 10x cap on valuation. For additional information on the concept and strategy behind this study, please read the document linked below and/or watch the episode of the Hairy Matters podcast linked below:
