Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As was previously disclosed, in 2017, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) submitted an application in Israel that would allow amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) patient access to NurOwn® under the Hospital Exemption Pathway (“HE”).


Following the recent approvals by the Israeli Ministry of Health (“MOH”) to support the treatment of 13 ALS patients with NurOwn®, the Company enrolled three (3) patients under HE and expects to keep the same rate and enroll a similar number of patients per month.


Thus far, the Company received approximately $1 million in connection with the treatment for the aforementioned patients.

 

HE allows for advanced therapy medicinal products, such as NurOwn®, to be made available to a group of patients where there is a critical unmet need and an absence of effective therapeutic alternatives, as agreed upon by the MOH. To qualify for HE, several important criteria must be met, including: product preparation according to specific quality standards (equivalent to those for a licensed product); use in a qualified hospital setting; and administered under the exclusive responsibility of an experienced medical practitioner. The Helsinki Committee at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (“Ichilov”), which is composed of bioethicists and other leaders from the Scientific and Medical Community, determined the final inclusion and exclusion guidelines to support HE ALS patient access for NurOwn®. Helsinki is equivalent to the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
