Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (PSTI) (PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing a platform of novel biological therapeutic products, announced today that since its last update on COVID-19, it has dosed three patients in two different hospitals in Israel under a compassionate use program for the treatment of COVID-19, as approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health. Pluristem expects to enroll additional patients in Israel in the coming days and anticipates providing updates on clinical outcomes once significant data has been gathered.
All three treated patients are in a high-risk group based on age and preexisting conditions, have been experiencing severe respiratory failure, and intubation with a ventilator. Pluristem is closely following the medical condition of these patients in conjunction with the hospitals’ medical professionals delivering the care.
Pluristem is prepared for immediate ramp-up of PLX cell production with consistent batch-to-batch cell production quality through its GMP certified manufacturing facilities in order to meet potential demand.
“In this time of emergency, we are honored to be taking part in the global effort to support patients and healthcare systems. We watch with great admiration the endless efforts of the outstanding medical teams at the hospitals, and we would like to thank them for their collaboration and support. It is our hope that our mutual desire to help patients will result in improved outcomes for those hard hit by the life threating complications of COVID-19,” stated Pluristem CEO and President, Yaky Yanay. “In addition to our current activity in Israel, we are in discussions with regulators in the U.S. and Europe to define our clinical strategy for COVID-19. Pluristem’s advanced manufacturing capabilities enable us to serve potential need of treating large numbers of patients under compassionate use and clinical studies across numerous countries and hospitals in accordance with our expansion program and regulatory approvals. We are facing a very different global condition right now, and the entire Pluristem team is committed to being an important part of the solution.”
