Paper appears in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and highlights the
study’s design rationale and the potential impact of PLX cells in the treatment of CLI
HAIFA, Israel, May 15, 2019 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (EJVES) titled “PLX-PAD Cell Treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia: Rationale and Design of the PACE Trial.” The article, written by key physicians conducting the pivotal study, presents the Company’s ongoing Phase III study evaluating PLX-PAD cell therapy for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). The pivotal study is also designed to measure long-term outcomes and collect parameters to assess the potential economic benefit of this kind of treatment. Additionally, an invited commentary that also appears in EJVES lends strong support for the study’s design and potential impact.
The paper cites the significant need that exists for new and effective CLI treatment options when revascularization is not an alternative, and the shortcomings and differentiation from other therapies that have failed to demonstrate meaningful benefits in controlled clinical studies to date. Pluristem’s PLX-PAD cell therapy has been successfully evaluated in two Phase I CLI studies, with additional supportive data from a Phase II intermittent claudication (IC) study. In these studies, PLX-PAD cells have demonstrated a favorable safety profile as well as significant pain reduction, an increase in tissue perfusion, a reduction in surgical events and significant improvement in HbA1c (blood glucose control) and CRP levels (blood test marker for inflammation in the body).
“Several therapies have been tested to meet the medical need of these patients and have not succeeded in demonstrating meaningful benefits to date,” commented Prof. Lars Norgren, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Sweden and lead author of the paper. “From an immunological point of view, it has been shown that treatments using the patient’s own cells, and in particular those with cardiovascular risk factors or CLI, are reduced in functionality. One reason Pluristem’s PLX-PAD cell therapy is so desirable is that the young healthy placenta cells being used in the therapy are of a better quality and have the potential for higher efficacy than previously seen.”
“CLI is a widely recognized disease leading to losses of limbs. With the aging of the world’s population, the incidence of this problem continues to increase,” commented Dr. John Lantis, MD, Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery and Chief of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Mount Sinai West and a co-author of the paper. “For these patients who do not have an option for revascularization, and those for whom the risks of intervention outweigh the benefits, we need another option. An intervention focused on office-based injections that could grow new blood vessels could definitely be a game changer for many patients. It is exciting to be a part of a study that may truly give us a new medical option.”
“We are grateful for the opportunity to bring CLI patients closer to a medical solution and we thank those who are participating in the study, as well as the investigators who are working to efficiently advance this important late-stage study,” said Zami Aberman, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Pluristem. “Our goal is to make this potentially ground-breaking treatment available to CLI patients, an underserved patient population, as quickly as possible.”
Pluristem recently completed enrollment of half of the study’s population (n=123). An interim analysis may be allowed following a 12-month follow-up period and could support an application for conditional marketing approval in Europe, under the European Adaptive Pathways Program. The Company’s PLX-PAD CLI program has also been granted Fast Track Designation, and selected for an Expanded Access Program (EAP), by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as awarded a €7.6 million grant from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program.

HAIFA, Israel, April 29, 2019 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced the Company has achieved a significant milestone in its ongoing development of PLX- PAD for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). The company has met its enrollment timelines relating to its Phase III pivotal study in CLI sooner than expected, and has successfully enrolled over 50% of the study’s patients, which allows for an interim analysis of efficacy after a one-year follow-up period under the European Medicine Agency’s (EMA) Adaptive Pathways pilot project, which PLX-PAD was selected for. The interim analysis, if positive, could support an application for conditional marketing approval, which could accelerate the approval and commercial availability of PLX-PAD in the Europe.
Pluristem also announced today the official initiation of its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Expanded Access Program (EAP), with several site initiations in the U.S. This program makes Pluristem’s PLX-PAD cell therapy product available to CLI patients who are unsuitable for inclusion in the Company’s ongoing multinational Phase III clinical study. The EAP will enroll up to 100 patients with Rutherford Category 5 CLI and provides Pluristem the opportunity to collect data while the global Phase III study is ongoing. Pluristem previously announced that it received approval from the FDA for cost recovery for patient treatments administered under the EAP.
“Pluristem’s development program for its novel cell therapy, PLX-PAD, for the treatment of CLI continues to progress, and we are rapidly approaching a significant data milestone with a potential interim efficacy analysis that could expedite commercial availability in Europe,” stated Zami Aberman, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Pluristem. “We are pleased to see positive collaboration from our clinical sites, where we beat our expected timelines for patient enrollment. We will use the remaining year to prepare the company for its potential application for conditional marketing approval in Europe under the adaptive pathway designation. We look forward to conducting this interim analysis with the goal of making this promising therapy available to patients as quickly as possible.”
“CLI is a devastating disease that can result in diminished quality of life and a high risk of amputation and death. With lack of suitable non-surgical therapeutic options for the growing
population of CLI patients, new approaches such as cell therapy are warranted. In multiple completed studies to date, PLX-PAD demonstrated significant improvement in reducing the risk for amputation and death, improved tissue perfusion and reduced ischemic pain, all while demonstrating a very favorable safety profile.” Mr. Aberman concluded, “We are glad to receive the FDA’s support for our EAP and are privileged to be able to provide PLX-PAD to patients in need, with the goal to prevent amputations and save lives.”
The Phase III CLI program has been awarded a €7.6 million grant from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, which is its largest EU research and innovation program. The collaborative project includes leading European research institutes and clinical sites, which undertake an extensive scientific program in parallel to the trial, using in-depth immunological, endocrine, and molecular analyses to better understand the mechanism of action of PLX-PAD in CLI.
In addition to the EMA’s Adaptive Pathways program and the FDA’s EAP, PLX-PAD has been granted FDA Fast Track Designation for the treatment of CLI.

Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a chronic illness in which blood flow to the limbs is obstructed. PAD is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease in the world, affecting more than 200 million people, and one of the most common chronic diseases in the U.S., surpassing even cancer. It is estimated that 5-6 million people in U.S. and Europe suffer from CLI with an estimated cost of 25 billion $ per year in the U.S. alone. With the increasing rate of aging and diabetes, this number is projected to grow in the coming years. Today, up to 40% of CLI patients are unsuitable for revascularization and experience up to 40% amputation rate at 1 year, left with no medical solution other than amputation.

HAIFA, Israel, April 23, 2019 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, today issued an update to its shareholders from its Co-Chief Executive Officers, Zami Aberman and Yaky Yanay.
During the first quarter of the year, Pluristem made considerable progress toward its clinical and business goals. In addition, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company concluded a financing which raised gross proceeds of approximately $21 million. We are aware that such funding and its dilutive nature has had some negative near-term impact on the stock price, but these funds provide resources to fund Pluristem through several important and potentially value- creating milestones, and strengthen its position as a leader in the cell therapy and regenerative medicine space. These important milestones include a potential European Medicines Agency (EMA) application for conditional marketing approval in critical limb ischemia (CLI), completion of our Phase III study in muscle regeneration following hip fracture and securing an important contract with the U.S. government in our Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) program.
Over the past few years, Pluristem has been awarded tens of millions of dollars in non-dilutive funding from its partners and collaborators. In order to assure the advancement of these R&D agreements into contracts and continue to advance discussions with other potential strategic and pharmaceutical partners, we needed to secure and strengthen our balance sheet to carry on the development of our novel PLX pipeline of products through marketing approval. The recent financing also attracted long-term oriented institutional investors, both in the U.S. and Israel, which diversified our shareholder base and, we believe, will provide important support for the Company going forward.
Pluristem is in a unique position today as we pursue major short and mid-term milestones. In addition to the anticipated completion of three Phase III studies, we would also like to provide you with the short-term roadmap to important milestones. It is our belief that achieving these
goals will provide increased confidence in Pluristem’s ability to lead the cell therapy space, bringing hope to millions of patients and creating substantial value to our shareholders.
In the coming year we expect to report initial data from our ongoing expanded access program in CLI. This real-world data is important to support our biologics license application (BLA) and to provide real-world evidence of the therapeutic potential of PLX-PAD in these patients who are left with no alternative medical options.
In addition, within the next quarter we expect to report data from our collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense, testing PLX-R18 as a prophylactic treatment for ARS.
We are working to secure two potential contracts that could create significant value for the company: a contract from the U.S. government which includes the final development phase in our ARS project, and a contract from our European consortium, “RESTORE,” where Pluristem is one of two finalists competing to be awarded a grant of up to $1 billion to develop therapies for the European market. While there is no assurance we will win either of these contracts, we believe that our proposals are very competitive, innovative and can provide real benefits for both patients and healthcare systems.
We also expect to report progress with our additional collaborations, including NASA, Chart and Thermo Fisher. We see great potential in these collaborations and believe it could generate important data and, assuming approval, ultimately drive sales.
Today, one of the biggest challenges for innovative therapies is having access to large-scale controlled and efficient manufacturing. One of Pluristem’s key competitive advantages is its in- house proprietary 3D manufacturing technology, allowing for regulatory-approved large scale manufacturing that provides higher quality and reduced manufacturing costs for the Company. Recently, we started to explore the use of our 3D bioreactor technologies in other industries, while keeping our competitive advantage in the cellular therapy field.
In our view, there aren’t many companies in the world that can truly make a substantial impact on the medical world the way Pluristem can. We are focused on bringing our advanced cell therapy products to patients in need, while continuing to build our business and be a leader in our industry. In addition to the significant progress we are making on these fundamental activities, we are also acutely focused on the capital markets, including regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, reducing expenses and restoring shareholder value.
We have a lot of work to do. As CEOs we sometimes need to make difficult decisions in order to make sure we successfully get to the right place. We want to assure our shareholders that we are committed to meeting all of our milestones and are working tirelessly for the long-term success of the company.
Thank you for your continued support of Pluristem. Sincerely,
Zami Aberman Yaky Yanay
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer President and Chief Executive Officer

Awarded NASA’s 2019 Ames Research Innovation Award
HAIFA, Israel, February 20, 2019 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced a collaboration between the company and NASA’s Ames Research Center to evaluate the potential of Pluristem’s PLX cell therapies in preventing and treating medical conditions caused during space missions. Dr. Ruth Globus of NASA’s Ames Research Center, in California’s Silicon Valley, has been awarded a 2019 NASA Ames Research Innovation Award (ARIA) for the collaboration with Pluristem.
The project, titled, “Therapeutic Stromal Cells for Health in Space,” has been selected to pre- clinically evaluate the potential of Pluristem’s PLX cell therapies in preventing and treating medical conditions caused during space missions, including indications relating to blood, bone, muscle, brain and heart.
“During space missions astronauts are exposed to a challenging environment which includes radiation and microgravity, leading to muscle and bone loss as well as other potentially serious medical conditions,” said Dr. Globus of NASA’s Ames Research Center. “In fact, unless astronauts allocate about two hours of time for daily exercise sessions, they can experience a rapid and dramatic muscle loss. Astronauts can experience up to 20% muscle loss in muscle mass on spaceflights lasting just five to eleven days and in longer missions, they also lose bone density at a rate of 1-2% per month which can lead to more fragile bones. Therefore, we are intrigued by the possibility that PLX cell therapies can address these and other persistent negative effects of space travel on the human body.”
“We are excited to partner with NASA on this project, which we believe further demonstrates the potential broad clinical utility of our PLX cell therapies,” said Yaky Yanay, President and Co- Chief Executive Officer of Pluristem.
“Three of the biggest medical problems astronauts face during long term space exploration missions are muscle and bone loss and radiation exposure. As demonstrated in our previous studies, PLX cells have the potential ability to help regenerate muscles, as well as protect and regenerate the hematological system following exposure to radiation.
We look forward to harnessing our PLX regenerative medicine platform for space research, and establishing a robust and mutually beneficial partnership with NASA.”
The ARIA award invests in highly innovative, exploratory scientific research that directly supports advancing the strategic direction of NASA’s Ames Research Center and NASA. It also promotes the vitality of NASA’s Ames Research Center through strategic investments in scientific research, capabilities and people.

Findings from first two cohorts show primary safety endpoint met and early signals of efficacy
HAIFA, Israel, March 12, 2019 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced that the Company has fully enrolled the second cohort of six patients in its ongoing Phase I clinical study evaluating PLX-R18 for the treatment of incomplete hematopoietic recovery following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and has received Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) approval to continue to the final cohort of the study.
Results from the first two cohorts demonstrate PLX-R18 is safe and well tolerated, with early signals of efficacy in improving blood counts. The third and final cohort will be comprised of 15 patients that will receive two administrations of four million PLX-R18 cells/kg, one week apart, considered as the target dose for these patients.
“We are highly encouraged by the findings from the first two cohorts in this study, and we are pleased to receive DSMB approval to continue with the study as planned, as we look to efficiently advance PLX-R18 through clinical development,” commented Zami Aberman, Chairman and Co- Chief Executive Officer of Pluristem. “Incomplete hematopoietic recovery poses a significant risk to HCT recipients who fail to respond to the usual standards of care, making them vulnerable to severe complications and potentially resulting in their incurring significant related costs. We believe PLX-R18 can address the unmet need in this patient population by reviving the regenerative potential of the bone marrow and blood cell growth where other treatments have proven ineffective, and we look forward to final results from this study.”
This Phase I study is designed as a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety of intra-muscular (IM) injections of PLX-R18 cells in 24 patients with incomplete hematopoietic recovery persisting for at least four months after HCT. The follow up period for safety is 12 months. Patients in the study are enrolled into three chronological treatment groups: two administrations of 1 million PLX-R18 cells/kg (n=3), two administrations of 2 million PLX-R18 cells/kg (n=6) and two administrations of 4 million PLX-R18 cells/kg (n=15). The primary endpoint is safety which is assessed, at the end of each cohort, by an external DSMB. In addition, exploratory evaluations are made, including changes in platelet and hemoglobin levels, changes in transfusion frequency, a shift from transfusion dependence to transfusion independence, changes in quality of life and changes in the serum immunological parameters.
PLX-R18 cell therapy for the treatment of incomplete hematopoietic recovery following HCT was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
