Equity Briefing: Pluristem Therapeutics' Peripheral Artery Treatment Likely to be First To Address Substantial Market

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), long known as a silent killer that often goes undiagnosed past the point for effective control and treatment, is a medical market coming into its own.

While drugs for heart disease have taken center stage for decades, PAD, intimately linked to coronary and carotid vascular build-up, is finally being recognized by big pharmaceutical players. Earlier this week, AstraZeneca ( AZN ), announced plans to take its heart drug Brilinta to the multi-billion dollar growth industry of PAD. Source: http://bit.ly/AZNStudy

It appears, however, that clinically powerful Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. ( PSTI ) will be there first, with an entirely different, personalized approach to PAD based not on a life-long pill with onerous side effects, but instead with a patient-friendly, highly effective cell therapy.

Pluristem has already obtained the FDA`s permission for Phase II trials; far ahead of AstraZeneca which will embark on Phase I, and as a next regulatory step, announced the hiring of the prestigious CPC Clinical Research organization to manage the studies.

Further, it appears Pluristem Therapeutics` trials need not be enormous, since the FDA recognizes the strong potential of this treatment based on compelling Phase I data. Clearly a new approach to PAD is on the way to being realized, with the medical community ripe for a change in not just managing, but healing this deadly disease.
