Russell Newton,
Thank you for reaching out to Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics. We understand the serious unmet medical need and the urgency of people living with ALS. As you mentioned, BrainStorm completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-dose Phase 3 trial at multiple sites in the United States.
Read about top-line results: BrainStorm Announces Topline Results from NurOwn® Phase 3 ALS Study - Nov 17, 2020 (brainstorm-cell.com). We continue to analyze the data and will share additional data in the weeks and months to come at scientific symposiums. We are also assessing potential regulatory pathways that would make NurOwn available to patients.

The investigational therapy NurOwn is not available through any pre-approval pathway anywhere in the world at this time including Israel. The expanded access program is for Phase 3 participants who have completed the randomized controlled trial only.

Deb, No worries, I am getting used to this. Double blind studies is short hand for 50% of patients get sugar water and die. I get scientific rigor, but come on, if your in the Control group your dead with ALS. The first time a new drug shows any promise, it should be released to the ALS patients with whatever warning they want to give, but we all just want a few days longer to live. And they can't see beyond their own self interest. I really hope they all get ALS and get to see what it looks like from this side of the table. Sorry for the Rant, but I got carried away. Russ
Damn. So sorry for this news, Russ.
