BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to conduct its Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn TM in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), pending FDA approval. In addition, Mayo's Human Cell Therapy Laboratory will manufacture the NurOwn cells for their clinical trial participants. The other two sites slated for the multi-center trial are the University of Massachusetts Memorial Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.

"We are delighted to be progressing further with our preparations for the trial and honored to be collaborating with Professor Anthony Windebank and the Mayo Clinic," said Chaim Lebovits, President of BrainStorm. Mayo Clinic is one of the largest stem cell clinical trial centers worldwide, with 27 trials currently in Phase I.

"BrainStorm's mesenchymal stem cell-based approach is very compatible with some of the research conducted in our center," commented Anthony Windebank, M.D., Professor of Neurology and Principal Investigator of the study. "This trial is a logical next step in developing novel treatments for ALS which is a terrible disease with no effective treatment for our patients and their families."
