HAIFA, Israel, Dec 27, 2021 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI) (the “Company”), a leading biotechnology company, today announced topline results from its Phase II dose escalation studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of intramuscular injections of PLX- PAD cells for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19. The analysis is based on 89 patients enrolled in two Phase II studies in the U.S. (the “U.S. study”) and in Europe and Israel (collectively, the “EU study” and together with the U.S. study, the “Studies”).
The primary efficacy endpoint was the number of ventilator free days (VFD) from day 1 through day 28 of the Studies. VFD at day 60 and all-cause mortality at days 28 and 60 were part of the secondary efficacy endpoints in the Studies. The Studies did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint of statistically significant improvement of VFD at 28 days. Taking into consideration the baseline risk factors of the ARDS patients, no differences in the safety profile were observed between PLX-PAD and placebo.
In July 2021, Pluristem announced its decision to bring the Studies to early clinical readout based on 89 patients enrolled, instead of the originally planned 180 patients (140 in the U.S. study and 40 in the EU study).
The decision came in response to COVID-19’s evolution as a disease, and the significant changes in the standard of care, leading to an increase in the severity of conditions of the intubated patients.
These changes in the evolution of COVID-19 raised a major concern about the potential variability in the patient population in the Studies.
The early termination of recruitment led to a significant reduction in the statistical power of the Studies.
Efficacy trends from the Studies included:
Pluristem’s CEO and President, Yaky Yanay said: “Pluristem joined the global effort to fight the evolving and unexpected COVID-19 pandemic. We chose to focus on the most severe intubated patients suffering from ARDS associated with COVID-19, that have no viable treatment to date and are challenging healthcare systems worldwide.
With the new coming wave of the Omicron variant, we intend to explore the opportunities based on the efficacy trends obtained from the Studies.
I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the Studies including the patients and their families, our investigators and study personnel, and the team at Pluristem for making extraordinary efforts to conduct these important studies during very challenging times.”
About the Studies:
The U.S. Study included 66 patients enrolled to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study, with three treatment groups of PLX-PAD cells – single administration of 300 million cells, single administration of 600 million cells, or 300 million cells administered twice in a one-week interval; and two placebo control groups single administration, and two administrations in a one-week interval. All groups received a study treatment in addition to the best standard medical care according to local practices.
The EU Study enrolled 23 patients in Germany, Bulgaria, and Israel to a randomized, controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study with a single treatment group (single dose of 300 million PLX- PAD cells) in addition to best standard medical care according to local practices, and a control group received the best standard medical care according to local practices.
Pluristem is pushing the boundaries of science and engineering to reimagine pharmacological treatments and improve the standard of care.
The Company’s cell therapies advance the field of regenerative medicine, with potentially groundbreaking applications for treating damaged muscle, hematology deficiencies, and inflammation.
Pluristem sources its therapeutic cells from the placenta, an ethically accepted and potent source.
Cells are easy to collect and do not require blood or tissue matching.
Cells from one placenta can potentially treat more than 20,000 patients.
The Company’s manufacturing platform is a patented and validated state-of-the-art 3D cell expansion system, designed to mimic the human body.
Pluristem’s method is uniquely accurate, cost-effective, and consistent batch-to-batch.

The Company will host a Key Opinion Leader online event on muscle regeneration following hip fracture surgery on November 22 at 9:15am EST
HAIFA, Israel, November 15, 2021 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:PSTI) (TASE:PSTI) (the “Company”), a leading biotechnology company announced today that its multinational Phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, designed to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intramuscular administration of allogeneic PLX-PAD cells for the treatment of muscle injury following arthroplasty for hip fracture, is fully enrolled with 240 patients.
The multinational clinical study includes patients from the U.S., Europe, and Israel, and topline results are expected in the third calendar quarter of 2022.
The Company will host a Key Opinion Leader online event on muscle regeneration following hip fracture surgery on November 22 at 9:15am EST, for registration: https://Veidan.activetrail.biz/pluristem
“Reaching our enrollment target for the Phase III PLX-PAD study is an important milestone,” said Pluristem CEO and President, Yaky Yanay. “Rising healthcare costs and aging demographic changes present an opportunity for allogenic, placenta-cell derived products to satisfy unmet clinical needs in the area of muscle regeneration following hip arthroplasty. The potential improvement of physical function following this common procedure could redefine the current standard of care and improve patients’ lives.”
Pluristem’s unique technology, based on a state-of-the-art cell expansion system designed to mimic conditions in the human body, provides a 3-D microenvironment where cells are multiplied and developed into therapeutic candidates. PLX-PAD cells secrete proteins to induce tissue healing in response to muscle trauma and inflammation and are applied via intramuscular administration.
During a completed Phase I/II double-blind placebo controlled trial, PLX-PAD cells demonstrated statistically significant superiority, in the ability to increase muscle strength and volume for patients who have undergone total hip replacement surgery due to osteoarthritis. If approved, PLX-PAD would be a first-of-its-kind innovative treatment for muscle regeneration.
Mr. Yanay concluded, “Hip fracture is a major cause of hospitalization for seniors and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, loss of independence, and financial burden.
The annual number of hip fractures worldwide is expected to surpass 6 million in 2050 due to the increased prevalence of osteoporosis. As healthcare systems search for new opportunities to lower the cost of care and provide new treatments for aging populations, our PLX-PAD product candidate could potentially bring novel solutions for soft tissue regeneration.”
Estimated annual costs of care for patients suffering from hip fractures in the U.S. are between $10.3 billion and $15.2 billion. Approximately 20 percent of hip fracture patients die within one year from surgery due to immobility associated diseases, emphasizing the need for better and faster muscle rehabilitation for improved patient outcome.
Cell-based therapy for muscle regeneration could have potential for additional applications, including arthroplasty of the shoulders, knees, and other musculoskeletal indications.

HAIFA, Israel, September 22, 2021 – Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTI) (TASE: PSTI), a leading biotechnology company, today issued an update to its shareholders from its Chief Executive Officer and President Yaky Yanay.
Dear Shareholders,
Less than three months into a new fiscal year, there are several important developments on the horizon for Pluristem, including four studies heading to clinical readout in the coming quarters. These studies align with our mission to develop novel cell therapy product candidates, built using Pluristem’s advanced technology.
During the coming year, we expect to meet multiple clinical milestones, which represent significant potential for our cellular platform.
First, our Phase I study evaluating PLX-R18 cells in subjects with incomplete hematopoietic recovery following Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) demonstrated positive topline results as reported in April 2021, and we expect to present full data readout in the fourth quarter of this calendar year.
We also expect to continue the development of the program and to initiate a Phase II study in hematological indication.
Second, we expect topline results in the fourth quarter of this calendar year for both of our Phase II studies of PLX-PAD cells to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19 in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.
Third, our Phase III study evaluating PLX-PAD cells to support muscle regeneration after hip fracture surgery has enrolled more than 95 percent of its patients and is expected to complete enrollment in October 2021.
Figure 1 – Clinical Pipeline: Milestones
In the last decade, we have developed an automated and robust current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) manufacturing platform for allogeneic cells originating from the fetal and maternal cells from the placenta.
Using this platform, we can produce large quantities of high- quality cells suitable for a variety of applications and uses.
The manufacturing platform enables us to develop targeted pipelines of cellular product candidates including induced or modified PLX cells:
Induced PLX cells: These cells from the placenta are induced with different cytokines to transiently alter their secretion profile.
Our first product candidate under this technology is PLX-R18. The positive data presented in the hematology study in April 2021 supports our approach of targeting cells with superior activity per indication.
We expect to continue developing this platform for inducing cells and are in advanced development to complete additional targeted product candidates of this nature.
Modified PLX cells using CRISPR technology: We are also working on integrating CRISPR’s revolutionary genetic engineering technology to potentially engineer PLX cells with novel and targeted functionality.
Combined with our placenta-derived cell manufacturing platform, Pluristem would use CRISPR technology to potentially develop a new class of ex vivo modified allogenic PLX cell therapy product candidates to address new indications.
In short, we have developed a reliable, stable, and cost-effective cell expansion platform.
We believe that using the placenta as a unique cell source combined with our innovative research, development, and high-quality manufacturing capabilities will be the engine that drives this platform technology towards the successful development of additional PLX cell therapy product candidates and indications.
We are excited to continue developing the powerful therapeutic capabilities of placental cells while using our advanced technology to push boundaries.
What is Pluristem’s biggest advantage? Our talented management team and I asked this question in recent months as part of our five-year strategic discussions.
The outcome is clear: Develop effective and innovative cellular product candidates while assuring manufacturing capacity on the back end when the product candidate is ready for market.
We believe that this is our defining competitive advantage. Over the years, we have received interest from potential partners to use our platform for pharmaceuticals and other industries.
Pluristem intends to use its unmatched technological advantage to establish mutually advantageous partnerships towards the best utilization and optimization of our assets for the benefit of our shareholders.
Sincerely, Yaky Yanay
