The Company will also present at the BioEurope, Annual Vascular Interventional Advances and Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing conferences, all held in November
HAIFA, Israel, October 18, 2018 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy products, today announced that the Company will be presenting at four conferences during November: at the BioEurope conference, which is being held November 5–7, 2018 in Copenhagen, at the 15th Annual Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) Conference, which is being held November 5-8 in Las Vegas, at the 2018 American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions, which are being held November 10-12 in Chicago and the Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing conference, which is being held November 14-15 in London.
At the AHA Scientific Sessions, Prof. Norbert Wiess, the Principal Investigator of the Company’s Phase II intermittent claudication (IC) study, will present detailed results from the study. The presentation will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2018 from 9:00-10:15am. In June 2018, the Company announced positive top-line results from its multinational Phase II clinical study of PLX-PAD cells in the treatment of IC. Data demonstrated PLX-PAD’s ability to reduce the incidence of revascularization and improved patients’ mobility. Study results also validate the design of Pluristem’s ongoing pivotal Phase III study in critical limb ischemia (CLI), a more severe stage of PAD.
At the VIVA Conference, during the Disruptive Technology session, Pluristem will present an overview of its off-the-shelf, placenta-derived cell therapy technology and development plans for its lead cell therapy candidate, PLX-PAD, for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The presentation will be held on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 from 8:15-9:15am.
At the BioEurope conference, during the cell and gene track, Pluristem will present an overview of its cell therapy products and clinical development. The presentation will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, from 10:00-11:00am.
At the Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing conference, Pluristem will present an overview of its in- house manufacturing process. The presentation will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2018 from 9:10- 9:50am.
