NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2021 -- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of cellular therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and provided a corporate update.

"We made strong progress towards our goal of advancing NurOwn in ALS and MS over the past months," said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics. "Our productive discussions with leading clinical experts continue, and we continue to bring forward new evidence of NurOwn's effectiveness in the scientific domain, as highlighted by our recent NEALS presentation of Phase 3 ALS data showing that NurOwn drove significant changes in important neural biomarkers that could be used to predict treatment outcomes within the trial. The insights we have gained from these discussions have generated strong momentum in our pursuit of the best and most expeditious path forward to bring NurOwn to patients. We also strengthened our leadership team and increased our manufacturing capacity, supporting our readiness to provide broad patient access as we seek paths for potential regulatory approval. The devastating and progressive nature of ALS creates an urgent unmet need for patients, and one that we are fully committed to addressing through NurOwn's continued advancement."

About NurOwn®

The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.

About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug designation status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm has completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056); this trial investigated the safety and efficacy of repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells and was supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). BrainStorm completed under an investigational new drug application a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial (NCT03799718) of autologous MSC-NTF cells in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and was supported by a grant from the National MS Society (NMSS).
