NEW YORK and PETACH TIKVAH, Israel , Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated NurOwn™ as a Fast Track product for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease). NurOwn™ consists of autologous mesenchymal stem cells that have been induced to secrete neurotrophic factors, and is currently being studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial in ALS patients.
"We are pleased that the FDA has granted Fast Track status for NurOwn™ as this will allow us greater and more frequent dialogue with the Agency as we continue the development of this ground-breaking cell therapy for the treatment of ALS," said Tony Fiorino , MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. "We expect Fast Track designation, which recognizes the potential of NurOwn™ as to address an unmet medical need in ALS, to help speed and improve our development program."
The FDA's Fast Track program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs and biologics intended to treat serious conditions and demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. Under the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, the Fast Track program provides for increased meetings with and written communications from the FDA, and allows for the submission of an NDA on a rolling basis.
