Tue, June 22, 2010 AmStem Announces Initial U.S. Study of Flagship Cosmeceutical Facial Cream Product SteMixx(TM)
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - AmStem Corporation (
AmStem President David Stark said, "This consumer-based study of SteMixx™ is a prelude to the first Institutional Review Board ("IRB") approved clinical trial in the U.S. beginning sometime next month. The IRB is responsible for the protection of participants in the trial and for evaluating the scientific validity of the protocol. Most cosmetic companies don't take on the added expense, rigor and responsibility of protecting participants in their studies, but AmStem is committed to the highest ethical and professional standards in the field."
"In fact, the protocol we are employing is much more rigorous than most consumer-based cosmetic studies. It involves strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants must refrain from using other facial cosmetics for one month. So far response from those wishing to participate in the free trial study has been enthusiastic," Stark said.
Participants in the consumer-based study will use SteMixx™ exclusively for a month and provide subjective data on efficacy, product characteristics and satisfaction. The data will be used to support AmStem's ongoing marketing campaigns for the full launch of SteMixx™ sales in high-end e-commerce, retail and wholesale markets next quarter. As of this release, a few spots still remain open for enrollment. See the study web page ([ http://amsteminc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=80 ]) for details.
SteMixx™, along with an extensive line of cosmeceutical and hair restoration products, was developed by Dr. Han Hoon, CEO of Histostem, Ltd., in Seoul, Korea. Histostem is a 90% owned subsidiary of AmStem Corporation. Histostem operates one of the largest cord blood banks in the world with over 80,000 units stored for personal and unrelated transplant uses.
SteMixx™ has been approved by the Korean FDA as a "functional cream" for the treatment of facial skin disfiguration associated with signs of aging such as wrinkles. AmStem's professional studies are for the purpose of validating these claims, which have not yet been reviewed by the U.S. FDA.
