Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.(NASDAQ) develops autologous stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS, MS, and Parkinson’s disease. These diseases have limited treatment options and represent unmet medical needs. NurOwn® is BrainStorm’s proprietary process for differentiating autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into neurotrophic factor (NTF)-secreting cells, transplanted at or near the affected tissue site. Our technology converts MSCs into a living drug delivery system for NTFs. We have proof-of-concept in various animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS, MS, and peripheral nerve injury. We have completed two single-arm clinical trials in ALS patients in Israel, demonstrating good safety and tolerability profiles and strong efficacy signals. We also finalized a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at multiple US sites, supported by a $16 million USD grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and another grant from the ALS Association. Currently, we are planning a Phase 3b clinical trial of NurOwn® in ALS under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For more information, visit
