Pitts, a former FDA Associate Commissioner, and BrainStorm President and CEO Chaim Lebovits.</p><p>The authors argue that advances in biomarkers, genomics, artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine and precision therapeutics are changing what is possible in drug development, while many regulatory approaches are reliant on older models of evidence generation. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is used as a case study for a broader question: whether patients with serious, fast-moving diseases can benefit from modern science if regulatory tools do not evolve alongside it.</p><p>&quot;We&#39;re asking regulators to evaluate 21st-century science with the most up to date tools,&quot; said Mr. Pitts. &quot;The Agency now has these tools, including Accelerated Approval, adaptive trial design, Bayesian statistics, and biomarker qualification. In this paper we discuss how those tools can be applied more consistently in ALS and regenerative medicine.&quot;</p><p>The article examines how tools such as validated biomarkers, surrogate endpoints, adaptive trial designs, Bayesian statistics and earlier sponsor-regulator alignment can help improve the development of therapies for ALS and other rare diseases. These approaches, the authors write, may be especially important in diseases where patient populations are small, symptoms vary widely, and traditional clinical endpoints can take years to measure.</p><p>&quot;When science advances, the system has to advance with it,&quot; said Lebovits. &quot;Our Special Protocol Assessment, the first ever granted in ALS, is a good example of what is possible when a sponsor and regulator work together in good faith.&quot;</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

He previously served as Associate Commissioner at the FDA and as a member of the U.S. Senior Executive Service. His appointment comes as BrainStorm prepares to, upon acquisition of necessary funding, initiate its Phase 3b ENDURANCE trial evaluating NurOwn® for ALS under a recently executed FDA Special Protocol Assessment (SPA), the first SPA ever granted for an ALS therapeutic candidate.</p><p>&quot;BrainStorm is conducting some of the most important and scientifically rigorous work in neurodegenerative medicine today,&quot; said Pitts. &quot;The FDA&#39;s Special Protocol Assessment for this Phase 3b trial is unprecedented in ALS and sends a powerful signal that the agency recognizes both the seriousness of the disease and the strength of the trial design.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Just as importantly, the FDA is now under new management - and we believe that creates a far greater opportunity for smart regulatory innovation, serious scientific engagement, and patient-focused flexibility than we&#39;ve seen in recent years. Patients with terminal ALS do not have the luxury of bureaucratic drift or ideological grandstanding. They need urgency, rigor, and leadership.&quot;</p><p>&quot;For too long, portions of the FDA confused caution with paralysis. With new leadership now in place, there is renewed opportunity for regulatory creativity grounded in science rather than institutional defensiveness. ALS patients cannot afford performative skepticism from regulators sitting comfortably outside the blast radius of this disease.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I look forward to working with Chaim Lebovits, the Board, and leading ALS centers around the country to help ensure that sound science, regulatory common sense, and a relentless focus on patients bring this promising therapy across the finish line.&quot;</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm, added, &quot;We are honored to welcome Peter Pitts to the BrainStorm Board at this defining moment for our Company and for the ALS community.

Expanded Access Program ( EAP) cohort supporting Phase 3b patient selection and inclusion criteria</p><p>NEW YORK, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/
-- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases,
today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a corporate update.</p><p>“Our main priority continues to be advancing
NurOwn into a Phase 3b confirmatory study, having received clearance from the FDA in 2025 for the planned study,” said Chaim Lebovits,
President and CEO. “This study is designed to generate confirmatory data to support a potential BLA submission. Having completed
key regulatory steps, the SPA, CMC alignment, and the May 2025 FDA clearance, we believe we have addressed some of the primary hurdles
in our development program and positioned the company for success. Our network of leading clinical sites are on standby, and we remain
actively engaged with regulators. Further, we believe that the $2.0 million in strategic financing secured in early 2026 has served as
the catalyst for our recovery, resulting in a significant re-rating of our shares and providing the cash runway to execute on key operational
activities. ALS is a devastating disease with limited treatment options, and we remain committed to the ALS community as we work to complete
development of NurOwn and make it available to patients.”</p><p>Recent Highlights</p><p>NurOwn (MSC-NTF) for ALS</p><p>&amp;middot; Company continues to execute on operational,
clinical and manufacturing activities to support the Phase 3b ENDURANCE study of NurOwn. The planned study is expected to enroll approximately
200 participants at leading ALS centers and is designed as a two-part trial consisting of a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
portion (Part A), followed by a 24-week open-label extension (Part B) to further assess long-term safety and durability of effect.
The primary efficacy endpoint for Part A will be change from baseline to Week 24 on the ALSFRS-R. If successful, the Company believes
these data could support a potential BLA submission. Further trial details are posted on ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06973629.</p><p>&amp;middot; A Citizen Petition was filed with the FDA
by representatives of the ALS community. The petition requests a renewed regulatory review of the data supporting NurOwn. BrainStorm
acknowledges the petition as a constructive development that underscores the continued interest in NurOwn&#39;s potential therapeutic value.
The Company did not participate in the drafting or submission of this petition.</p><p>&amp;middot; In the Expanded Access Program (EAP), 50%
of patients (5/10) remain alive according to publicly available data. Estimated mean survival has reached approximately 84 months.
At the time of the Citizen Petition filing (July 2025), all five surviving patients were tracheostomy-free, as documented in the
petition. All 10 EAP patients exceeded 5-year survival versus ~20% historically. Notably, these patients entered into the Phase 3 trial
with higher baseline function (mean ALSFRS-R of approximately 41), reinforcing the strategic focus of the Phase 3b trial on earlier-stage
populations where the treatment effect may be most detectable.</p><p>Corporate</p><p>&amp;middot; In February 2026, the company entered into

Although BrainStorm was not involved in drafting or submitting this petition or its contents, the company welcomes the FDA&#39;s willingness to reevaluate existing data.

Notably, participants survived more than five years from ALS symptom onset – well above published estimates suggesting that only 10% of people diagnosed with ALS reach that benchmark.

disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal
stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented
conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively
deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately
slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics
Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI) is a leading developer of autologous adult stem cell therapies for debilitating neurodegenerative

In Part A, patients will receive three doses of either NurOwn or placebo over a 24-week double-blind period. Following this, all participants - including those initially in the placebo group - will have the opportunity to transition to an open-label extension (Part B), receiving three additional doses of NurOwn over another 24 weeks. The trial&#39;s primary efficacy endpoint will assess changes in ALSFRS-R scores from baseline to week 24, comparing disease progression between the NurOwn and placebo groups. The successful completion of Part A will position BrainStorm for a BLA submission, accelerating NurOwn&#39;s path to potential approval.</p><p>ALS remains a devastating disease with limited therapeutic options, and BrainStorm is committed to working closely with regulatory agencies, clinical investigators, and the ALS community to ensure the rapid and rigorous evaluation of NurOwn. The company will provide updates as the FDA review progresses.</p><p>About NurOwn® The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug designation status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Brainstorm has completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056); this trial investigated the safety and efficacy of repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells and was supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). Brainstorm completed under an investigational new drug application a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial (NCT03799718) of autologous MSC-NTF cells in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and was supported by a grant from the National MS Society (NMSS).</p><p>Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; that are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Special Protocol Assessment (SPA), ADCOM meeting related to NurOwn, the timing of a PDUFA action date for the BLA for NurOwn, the clinical development of NurOwn as a therapy for the treatment of ALS, the future availability of NurOwn to patients, and the future success of BrainStorm.

I am proud to share this summary of our accomplishments as we close the year with optimism and look forward to the promise of 2025.</p><p>2024: A Year of Strategic Milestones</p><p>This year, we achieved one of our most significant milestones to date - securing a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our Phase 3b clinical trial of NurOwn®. An SPA agreement ensures that critical elements of a clinical trial&#39;s overall design and analysis plan are adequate to support regulatory approval of a drug, significantly de-risking the regulatory aspects of our clinical development pathway. Additionally, in June, we announced that we had reached alignment with the FDA on our Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) plan for our Phase 3b clinical trial , laying the groundwork for a consistent and high-quality manufacturing process essential for clinical success.</p><p>Operationally, we fortified our capabilities by entering a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Pluri Inc. for the clinical manufacturing of NurOwn. Pluri&#39;s expertise in GMP-compliant manufacturing will complement our already leased facility at the Sourasky Medical Senter in Tel Aviv (Ichilov) Manufacturing Center in Israel, enabling a fast startup for the Phase 3b study. Furthermore, an additional U.S.-based manufacturing center will be onboarded to support broader production needs as we advance.</p><p>On the research front, our advancements have been equally compelling. Data from our biomarker studies continue to demonstrate the potential of NurOwn to reduce neurofilament light (NfL) levels, an important marker of neurodegeneration in ALS patients. NfL is a well-established biomarker linked to axonal damage, and elevated levels are often associated with disease progression in neurodegenerative conditions. In our studies, patients treated with NurOwn have consistently exhibited reductions in NfL compared to baseline levels, suggesting that NurOwn may mitigate the ongoing neuronal damage typically seen in ALS.</p><p>These results are particularly meaningful because they provide a quantifiable measure of NurOwn&#39;s biological impact, complementing clinical assessments of patient function and quality of life. Beyond NfL, exploratory analyses have highlighted potential correlations between NurOwn treatment and other biomarkers associated with inflammation and neuroprotection, further emphasizing the potential multifaceted benefits of our therapy. Together, these findings validate our scientific approach and reinforce our confidence in NurOwn&#39;s ability to deliver meaningful and measurable outcomes for patients battling ALS.</p><p>Despite the challenges we faced, including the setback of a disappointing FDA Advisory Committee (ADCOM) meeting in 2023, we have been able to learn from these experiences to refine our strategies and strengthen our alignment with the FDA. These efforts have ultimately positioned us for greater success moving forward. We will continue to work closely with the FDA, as well as with ALS advocacy groups and leading ALS scientists and clinicians, to ensure we remain aligned with both regulatory guidelines and experts&#39; expectations. We wish to thank the dedicated efforts of those in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), and particularly those in its Office of Therapeutic Products (OTP) for their assistance during the past year toward advancing the program.</p><p>On the corporate front, our leadership team has also been strengthened with the addition of Dr. Haro Hartounian as Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Hartounian&#39;s extensive experience in cell and gene therapy, coupled with his operational acumen, will be instrumental in navigating the complexities of manufacturing and commercialization. Similarly, Bob Dagher, M.D., has been promoted to Chief Medical Officer. With a successful track record in the development and approval of treatments for challenging neurological and rare diseases, Dr. Dagher has played a pivotal role in advancing our clinical development plans and translating pre-clinical research into clinical applications, further expanding NurOwn into new therapeutic areas.</p><p>2025 and Beyond</p><p>As we enter 2025, our focus intensifies on executing the Phase 3b trial for NurOwn, a pivotal step that underscores our commitment to the ALS community. Results from our prior Phase 3 study demonstrated that NurOwn is more likely to have a treatment effect in early-stage ALS patients and this is the group we are targeting in Phase 3b. The Phase 3b trial seeks to provide robust evidence of the treatment&#39;s efficacy, offering hope to individuals and families affected by this devastating disease.</p><p>Simultaneously, we are accelerating the development of our exosome platform, a groundbreaking approach with significant potential to address critical pathways in neurodegenerative and respiratory diseases. With its customizable, nano-carrier-based solutions, we are pursuing strategic collaborations to expand its therapeutic applications and unlock further value. Advancing the exosome platform into clinical phases will mark a major milestone, reflecting our dedication to both pipeline innovation and stakeholder value. This progress is bolstered by a recent Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, strengthening our intellectual property portfolio and solidifying BrainStorm&#39;s leadership in cell-based therapies.</p><p>A Resilient Business and Operational Structures</p><p>Despite the inherent challenges of the biotechnology sector, including a difficult financing environment, BrainStorm has consistently achieved remarkable outcomes with limited resources. All the accomplishments highlighted this year reflect our ability to excel despite financial constraints, thanks to the dedication and ingenuity of our world class BrainStorm team. By achieving more with less, we have maintained financial discipline and operational excellence. Strategic partnerships, such as our collaboration with Pluri, and prudent capital management have further positioned us to execute on our ambitious goals. Since the ADCOM results, we have successfully raised approximately $8 million, and we are actively pursuing additional funding sources, including non-dilutive grants and potential partnerships, to fund Phase 3b trial for NurOwn, development of our exosome platform and our operations. Our team&#39;s sacrifices, including salary reductions and extended work hours, have been critical in keeping the company moving forward. We remain committed to exploring new opportunities for funding and collaboration to ensure our innovations reach their full potential.</p><p>Reflecting on Our Mission</p><p>As we look ahead, it is important to reaffirm the values that drive us. At BrainStorm, innovation is not just a goal - it is our ethos. Our commitment to patients remains steadfast, and our focus on scientific excellence guides every decision we make. Each milestone achieved brings us closer to transforming lives, and we are honored to have your support on this journey.</p><p>Closing Thoughts</p><p>2024 has been a year of progress, perseverance, and preparation. We are entering 2025 with a renewed sense of purpose and optimism. With the Phase 3b trial on track to launch and our exosome platform advancing, we are poised to deliver on the promise of innovation, and we see multiple opportunities to create value.</p><p>Ending the year on a high note, the FDA&#39;s approval of Ryoncil, the first mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapy, has been a pivotal moment for the regenerative medicine field. This milestone highlights the FDA&#39;s commitment to fostering innovative treatments for unmet medical needs. It has given the cell therapy community a renewed sense of optimism for the future, inspiring confidence in our own MSC-based therapeutic approach with NurOwn. Together, we are entering 2025 with momentum and hope for progress that biotech can achieve to transform patient lives.</p><p>Thank you for your trust and belief in our vision. Your support is important to our mission to redefine what is possible in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As we enter the next chapter, we invite you to stay engaged with our progress through regular updates, earnings calls, and strategic announcements. Together, we will continue to make progress toward a brighter future.</p><p>With gratitude and determination,</p><p>Chaim Lebovits President and Chief Executive Officer BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>December 30, 2024</p><p>Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements</p><p>This letter to shareholders contains &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; that are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding cooperation with Pluri for the clinical manufacturing of NurOwn, potential partnership with an additional U.S.-based manufacturing center, clinical development of NurOwn as a therapy for the treatment of ALS, the future availability of NurOwn to patients, future strategies with respect to NurOwn and our exosome platform, exploration of new opportunities for funding and collaboration, and the future success of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics.

YORK, November 14, 2024 / PRNewswire/ -- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:
BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided a corporate update.</p><p>&quot;BrainStorm’s
primary focus continues to be preparing for the upcoming Phase 3b registration trial of NurOwn in ALS,” said Chaim Lebovits, President
and CEO of Brainstorm. &quot;We have carefully refined the trial design based on the learnings from our previous study, and we believe
this will increase the probability of demonstrating a treatment effect. We are partnering with Pluri Inc., an
established global leader in the development and manufacturing of cell-based therapeutics, to support the clinical supply needs.
We have also selected a leading Clinical Research Organization and continue to work with investigators to establish multiple trial sites.
We remain committed to the ALS community as we work to advance NurOwn and deliver a therapeutic option that we believe will make
a difference for patients and their families.&quot;</p><p>Third Quarter
2024 and Recent Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; In
November 2024, BrainStorm entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Pluri Inc.
(Pluri) to manufacture NurOwn® for use in the planned Phase 3b ALS trial. This MOU enables
Brainstorm to begin the immediate transfer of its manufacturing technology and start producing
NurOwn at Pluri’s facility while the binding definitive agreement is being finalized.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
October 2024, Brainstorm announced further details of the Phase 3b trial at the Annual
Northeastern Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Consortium (NEALS) Meeting .</p><p>&amp;middot; Up
to approximately 200 participants with ALS are expected to enroll in the two-part Phase 3b trial, to receive 3 doses of either NurOwn
(debamestrocel) or placebo for 24 weeks (Part-A), followed by an open label period during which all patients will receive 3 doses of
NurOwn for another 24 weeks (Part B). Successful completion of Part A is expected to support a Biologic License Application (BLA).</p><p>&amp;middot; The
primary efficacy endpoint will be a comparison of change in ALSFRS-R from baseline to week-24 (i.e. at the end of Part A) for NurOwn
vs. placebo. Other outcome assessments will include CAFS (Clinical Assessment of Function &amp; Survival), SVC, HHD (Hand-Held Dynamometry),
survival, ALSAQ-40 questionnaire, the ZBI (Zarit Burden Interview), and disease biomarkers.</p><p>&amp;middot; The
entry criteria are specifically targeting people living with ALS in the early stage of their disease. Key entry criteria will include:
age 18 to 75 years old, ALS diagnosis defined by the revised El Escorial criteria as laboratory-supported probable, clinically probable,
or definite, symptom onset within 24 months of screening, &amp;ge;2 points on each item of the ALSFRS-R, ALSFRS-R total score &amp;le;45, and
upright Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) &amp;ge;65% of predicted.</p><p>&amp;middot; Participants
in both treatment arms will be able to receive standard of care while on study.</p><p>&amp;middot; Also
at the NEALS meeting, Brainstorm presented a poster “Debamestrocel Long-Term Benefits
on Survival and Neurodegeneration in ALS Expanded Access Program” featuring the
results from 10 participants (6 NurOwn, 4 placebo) from the company&#39;s prior Phase 3 clinical
trial (BCT-002-US) who enrolled in an open label Expanded Access Program (EAP). The EAP spanned
two 28-week periods, with a break in time between the periods. Participants received a dose
of NurOwn every 8 weeks, for a maximum of 6 doses over the 2 periods.</p><p>&amp;middot; Promising
long term survival benefits were observed in NurOwn treated patients compared to matched controls in the PRO-ACT database. The survival
curves revealed a statistically significant difference in favor of NurOwn (LRT, p= 0.0379) with a median survival time of 46.6 months
for the treated group compared to 41.1 months for the matched control.</p><p>&amp;middot; Consistent
reductions in neurofilament light (NfL) were observed both during the randomized Phase 3 trial and in the subsequent EAP period, indicating
that patients treated with NurOwn continued to see benefits from extended treatment. NfL is an important biomarker in ALS, measuring
neurodegeneration and neural cell death. These data align with the understanding of NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action.</p><p>Investor Conference
Call and Webcast</p><p>BrainStorm
is planning to host a conference call and webcast for the investment community later in Q4 2024 to provide further updates on the NurOwn
Phase 3 program. Details will be provided in the near future.</p><p>Financial Results
for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024</p><p>&amp;middot; Cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash amounted to approximately $0.35 million, as of September
30, 2024.</p><p>&amp;middot; Research
and development expenses, net, in the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $1 million,
compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.</p><p>&amp;middot; General
and administrative expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were
$2 million and $2.7 million, respectively.</p><p>&amp;middot; Net
loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $2.7 million as compared to a net
loss of $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.</p><p>&amp;middot; Net
loss per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was
$0.51 and $0.45, respectively.</p><p>About

in our preparations for the planned Phase 3b trial of NurOwn in ALS, with important recent developments on regulatory and operational
fronts,” said Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm. “We believe that the regulatory aspects of the program have
been substantially derisked, having secured agreement with the FDA on a Special Protocol Assessment and also reached alignment on the
CMC aspects. We have selected a leading Clinical Research Organization and are actively working to establish multiple trial sites. If
successful, this trial has the potential to significantly improve the lives of ALS patients by providing a much-needed therapeutic option.&quot;</p><p>Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights</p><p>Clinical and regulatory</p><p>&amp;middot; In
June 2024, BrainStorm reached alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
on the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) aspects of its planned Phase 3b clinical
trial for NurOwn®, its investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
This followed the announcement, in April 2024, that the FDA had granted BrainStorm a
Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement for the Phase 3b trial. The SPA agreement
validates the clinical trial protocol and statistical analysis of the trial, demonstrating
their adequacy for addressing objectives that support a future BLA (Biologics License Application)
in ALS.</p><p>&amp;middot; The
Company has selected a leading Clinical Research Organization (CRO) to support the initiation
and execution of the Phase 3b trial. We are actively engaging with over 12 leading ALS centers
of excellence to establish trial sites. Manufacturing processes are well-advanced and on
track to meet production timelines.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
May 2024, new biomarker data on NurOwn from the prior Phase 3 study and Expanded Access Program
(EAP) were featured in a presentation at the 3rd Annual ALS Drug Development Summit, which
took place in Boston MA. The data suggested that patients who received extended
treatment with NurOwn continued to see benefits. The summit was attended by advocacy groups,
physicians, research organizations, industry representatives, key thought leaders and decision
makers dedicated to ALS research.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
April 2024, Phase 3 biomarker data on NurOwn in ALS were published in Muscle and
Nerve in a paper entitled &quot;Debamestrocel multimodal effects on biomarker pathways
in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are linked to clinical outcomes&quot;.</p><p>Corporate</p><p>&amp;middot; In
June 2024, BrainStorm completed a successful registered direct offering, with a single institutional
investor, raising gross proceeds of $4.0 million.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
June 2024, appointed Hartoun Hartounian Ph.D. as EVP and Chief Operating Officer. Dr.
Hartounian brings a distinguished track record with over 32 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical
industry, with a focus on cell and gene therapy.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
April 2024, promoted Dr. Bob Dagher to
Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Dagher has over 20 years&#39; of experience
in clinical research and development, with a proven track record of leading successful clinical
trials and fostering innovation in drug development.</p><p>Financial

This reduction in NfL observed during the randomized Phase 3 trial, as well as in the subsequent EAP periods, indicate that patients treated with NurOwn during the Phase 3 study see benefits from the extended treatment. Furthermore, participants initially randomized to placebo in Phase 3 and were later treated with NurOwn during the EAP showed stabilization in Period 1 of the EAP, followed by reductions in NfL in Period 2 over their Phase 3 baseline levels. We looked forward to confirming this finding in the planned Phase 3b study.&quot;</p><p>Presentation Title: Promising Longer-Term Biomarker Data from NurOwn Program in ALS: Spotlight on NfL in EAP Extension CohortSpeaker: Stacy Lindborg, PhDDate/ time: May 22, 9am ETLocation: Hyatt Regency, Boston MA</p><p>Highlights</p><p>Workshop and Panel</p><p>Antonio Trejo, VP of Regulatory Affairs at BrainStorm, will participate in a workshop Reinventing the Surrogate Landscape: Innovating Regulatory Acceptable Endpoints Most Meaningful to People Living with ALS at 2pm on May 21.

MSC-NTF cells are harvested from each person with ALS and are manufactured using an innovative and proprietary process, to secrete neurotrophic factors to target specific neurodegenerative diseases. The lead program for NurOwn is for the treatment of ALS. BrainStorm&#39;s long-term commitment to ALS is demonstrated in preclinical research and a series of clinical studies, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted, but never before explored in depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

Treatment with debamestrocel led to significant changes in 64% of the forty-five analyzed biomarkers, spanning various pathways involved in ALS pathology. These changes included increases in anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective markers suggesting a potential ability to reduce inflammation and protect neurons, and decreases in inflammatory and neurodegenerative markers indicating a possible reduction in disease activity and nerve cell damage.</p><p>&quot;The publication of these findings is important, because it demonstrates a potential biologic mechanism by which modified mesenchymal stem cells (debamestrocel) may benefit patients with ALS,&quot; said Dr. Anthony J. Windebank, MD, Professor of Neurology and Judith and Jean Pape Adams Professor of Neuroscience, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science. &quot;There was a strong signal in the phase III trial suggesting a benefit of these cells in a sub-group of patients with less advanced disease. The fact that BrainStorm has reached agreement with FDA through a special protocol assessment (SPA) is also very encouraging that the agency is firmly committed to working with the company to rigorously evaluate the clinical benefit of debamestrocel.&quot;</p><p>Stacy Lindborg, PhD, Co-Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, added: &quot;Biomarkers are becoming an increasingly important part of drug development in ALS. Having these data peer reviewed and published in a prestigious journal is an important milestone in the NurOwn® development program. We look forward to confirming these findings in our upcoming Phase 3b trial, which is in planning for the most expeditious path forward to bring NurOwn to people living with ALS.&quot;</p><p>About the Biomarker Study</p><p>The study was conducted by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Massachusetts, Mayo Clinic, University of California Irvine, California Pacific Medical Center, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, evaluating the effect of NurOwn on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, offering valuable insights into the potential mechanisms of action and suggests a possible, related clinical impact. Merit Cudkowicz, MD, Chair of Neurology Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne Doran, Professor of Neurology Harvard Medical School and Robert Brown, MD, Donna and Robert J. Manning Chair in Neuroscience Director, Program in Neurotherapeutics UMass Chan Medical School, share the senior author position on the paper.</p><p>Data from the paper are from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial, evaluating the safety and efficacy of repeat intrathecal doses of NurOwn® in study participants.</p><p>&quot;These findings are encouraging and provide preliminary evidence that debamestrocel may be effective in treating ALS. The impact on biomarkers suggests debamestrocel targets inflammation and neurodegeneration,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics. &quot;We are grateful to the trial participants, lead authors Dr. Merit Cudkowicz and Dr. Robert Brown, in addition to all of the Phase 3 Principal Investigators. This manuscript, nor the insights into known and emerging ALS biomarkers wouldn&#39;t exist without them.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are harvested from each person with ALS and are manufactured using an innovative and proprietary process, to secrete neurotrophic factors to target specific neurodegenerative diseases. The lead program for NurOwn is for the treatment of ALS. BrainStorm&#39;s long-term commitment to ALS is demonstrated in preclinical research and a series of clinical studies, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted, but never before explored in depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

BrainStorm&#39;s ultimate goal is to provide a new treatment option that can help patients afflicted with ALS, and we believe that the SPA potentially brings us one step closer to this goal. We appreciate the Agency&#39;s engagement and guidance during the SPA process and look forward to moving forward with the study.&quot;</p><p>BrainStorm anticipates commencement of the Phase 3b study in 2024, after reviewing the protocol with investigators, securing study site Institutional Review Board approvals, and engaging with appropriate members of the ALS community.</p><p>Stacy Lindborg, Co-CEO of BrainStorm, commented, &quot;We have worked with leading neurologists, scientists, and members of the ALS community to create a robust study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of NurOwn. This trial builds on valuable insights from our earlier studies and will enroll people living with ALS who are earlier in the course of their disease. Based on the evidence generated on NurOwn to date, we have a trial that we&#39;re optimistic will be positive. Over the past year, we&#39;ve assembled an excellent team in clinical development that is highly qualified to execute this trial with excellence. We&#39;ve been parallel processing to enable us to deliver the first dose in the trial in 2024, and we&#39;re anxious to get started.&quot;</p><p>The Phase 3b trial (Study BCT-006-US) will be a two-part, multicenter, study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of NurOwn in patients with ALS. The entry criteria will enroll participants earlier in the course of their disease, having the onset of ALS symptoms, including limb weakness, within the prior 24 months, all ALSFRS-R items 2 at Screening, and upright slow vital capacity &gt;=65% of predicted for gender, height and age. Patients will also be allowed to receive concomitant treatment of an approved standard of care.</p><p>Part-A is a double blind, placebo-controlled period of 24 weeks duration. Up to approximately 200 patients are planned to be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to NurOwn or placebo treatment groups. There will be a screening period of six to nine weeks, during which eligible participants will undergo a single bone marrow aspiration procedure to procure the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that will be used to manufacture each participant&#39;s NurOwn treatment for the duration of the trial. Patients will then be randomized 1:1 and treated with NurOwn or placebo via three repeated intrathecal injections, once every eight weeks. All eligible patients who complete Part-A will have the option of entering Part-B, open-label extension period of 24 weeks duration, where all participants will receive three repeated intrathecal injections of NurOwn, once every eight weeks.</p><p>The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in the Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating (ALSFRS-R) total score from baseline to Week 24. Primary inference from the trial will be based on a p-value from the combined assessment of function and survival (CAFS) to account for mortality observed in the trial. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and blood samples will be collected for analysis of biomarkers of neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection. An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will monitor the safety of the trial participants.</p><p>Special Protocol Assessment A Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) is a process in which drug developers may ask to meet with the FDA to reach an agreement on the design and size of certain clinical trials to determine if they adequately address scientific and regulatory requirements for a study that could support marketing approval. A SPA agreement indicates concurrence by FDA with the adequacy and acceptability of specific critical elements of overall protocol design for a study intended to support a future marketing application. These elements are critical to ensuring that the trial conducted under the protocol can be considered an adequate and well-controlled study that can support marketing approval. Feedback on these issues provides the greatest benefit to companies in planning late-phase development strategy. A SPA agreement does not indicate FDA concurrence on every protocol detail.</p><p>Conference Call and Webcast</p><p>BrainStorm management will host a conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET today to discuss the SPA and planned Phase 3 program, after which investment community questions will be answered.

planned for early April 2024 to provide update on NurOwn program</p><p>NEW
YORK, April 1, 2024 / PRNewswire/ -- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:
BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced financial results for the
full year ended December 31, 2023 and provided a corporate update.</p><p>“Brainstorm’s
priority for 2024 is to move forward with a confirmatory Phase 3b trial for NurOwn that will potentially support a new Biologics License
Application,” said Chaim Lebovits, President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. “We have been working closely with
the FDA with the goal of agreeing on a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) so that we are aligned on the study design. We believe that
an SPA will substantially de-risk the regulatory aspects of our program. Our team is committed to this rigorous planning process, recognizing
its critical importance in the potential success and validity of the trial outcomes. We continue to believe that, if approved, NurOwn
has the potential to be a valuable treatment option for ALS patients in need. We look forward to providing a further update in the near
future.”</p><p>Stacy Lindborg,
Ph.D., co-CEO BrainStorm commented, “We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by those afflicted with ALS. Our planned Phase
3b trial will be conducted with the highest standards of scientific excellence and integrity, driven by our commitment to the ALS community
and our goal of expanding the treatment landscape.&quot;</p><p>Fourth Quarter
2023 and Recent Highlights</p><p>Clinical and
regulatory</p><p>&amp;middot; In February 2024, Brainstorm submitted a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
a Phase 3b study of NurOwn. An SPA agreement would indicate concurrence by FDA with the adequacy and acceptability of the overall protocol
design for a planned Phase 3b study, intended to support a future marketing application. The request is currently under review, and the
Company is expecting to have a response from the US FDA very soon as we approach the 45-day SPA review cycle.</p><p>&amp;middot; Brainstorm’s
proposed design for the planned Phase 3b trial
of NurOwn ALS was presented in a poster at the MDA Clinical and Scientific Conference
in March, 2024 .
The design is for a two-part, multicenter, Phase 3b study
to assess the efficacy and safety of NurOwn in participants with ALS, earlier in the disease.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
December 2023, company management attended an in-person meeting with the FDA to discuss
the regulatory path forward for NurOwn in ALS, including plans for an SPA prior to commencing
the planned Phase 3b confirmatory trial.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
November 2023, Bob Dagher, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer
at BrainStorm, delivered a presentation titled, &quot;NurOwn for ALS: Biomarker exploration
of NurOwn multimodal mechanism of action on neuroinflammation, neuroprotection and neurodegeneration&quot;
at the 6th Annual ALS Research Symposium hosted
by ALS ONE.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
October 2023, Brainstorm withdrew its Biological License Application (BLA) for NurOwn
in ALS. This action was coordinated with FDA and was viewed by the Agency as a withdrawal

Recognizing the challenges faced in our recent BLA submission, we are ambitiously pursuing a Phase 3b trial, aligning with our dedication to the ALS community and our goal of making NurOwn commercially available. Despite the setbacks with the ADCOM&#39;s unfavorable vote, our focus remains to align with the FDA on a phase 3b trial design, as we acknowledge that this represents the most expedient pathway to approval.</p><p>We are exploring various strategies to secure the necessary funding. We intend to seek a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA), which, when agreed with the FDA, could significantly de-risk the regulatory aspects of the NurOwn program. We are very encouraged by the FDA&#39;s ongoing engagement, including the opportunity provided by the expedited in-person Type A meeting on December 6, a rare occurrence in today&#39;s regulatory environment. We appreciate the Agency&#39;s feedback, comments and other regulatory accommodations, signaling its recognition for the unmet need in ALS and its willingness to reach alignment with Brainstorm on our new clinical strategy.</p><p>Our team is diligently preparing to submit a clinical protocol, and Statistical Analysis Plan, for the FDA&#39;s review. Following alignment with the FDA&#39;s expectations, we will formally submit our SPA request. We anticipate making this submission in February 2024. The FDA&#39;s response is expected within 45 days of submission.</p><p>We believe that agreement on an SPA would open a broad spectrum of financing options for the trial. Concurrently, we are committed to maintaining our NASDAQ listing status. Our strategy focuses on enhancing the value of our assets, thereby garnering market support that is crucial for our stock price to reach its requisite level by April. We prefer this approach over a reverse stock split, as it aligns more closely with our long-term goals and shareholder interests.</p><p>We thank you for your continued support. Your faith in our mission fuels our determination to overcome the recent challenges and ultimately deliver groundbreaking treatments that will help patients in need and create value for our stakeholders.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Chaim Lebovits President and CEO BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc</p><p>Special Protocol Assessment A Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) is a process in which drug developers may ask to meet with the FDA to reach agreement on the design and size of certain clinical trials to determine if they adequately address scientific and regulatory requirements for a study that could support marketing approval. An SPA agreement indicates concurrence by FDA with the adequacy and acceptability of specific critical elements of overall protocol design for a study intended to support a future marketing application. These elements are critical to ensuring that the trial conducted under the protocol can be considered an adequate and well-controlled study that can support marketing approval.

These data reinforce the clinical outcomes from the trial and provide strong statistical evidence of a NurOwn effect across biomarkers over time.&quot;</p><p>Phase 3 NurOwn Study Design</p><p>The Phase 3 NurOwn trial was a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of NurOwn in 189 ALS participants. It was conducted at six centers of excellence: University of California Irvine (Dr. Namita Goyal); Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Dr. Matthew Burford, Dr. Robert Baloh); California Pacific Medical Center (Prof. Robert Miller, Dr. Jonathan Katz); Massachusetts General Hospital (Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, Dr. James Berry); University of Massachusetts Medical School (Prof. Robert Brown) and Mayo Clinic (Prof. Anthony Windebank, Dr. Nathan Staff). Potential participants with ALS were screened during an 18-week run-in period and those who were rapid progressors (defined as participants with at least a 3-point decrease in ALSFRS-R score during the run-in period) were randomized 1:1 to receive three intrathecal injections (8 weeks between each injection) of NurOwn or placebo. Participants were followed for 28 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoints of the trial were safety assessments and a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALSFRS-R score over 28 weeks, where a response was defined as participants with a 1.25 points/month improvement in the post-treatment versus pre-treatment slope in ALSFRS-R at 28 weeks following the first treatment. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of participants with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

Time today</p><p>NEW YORK, November 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative
diseases, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provided a corporate update.</p><p>“We are committed to our goal of making
NurOwn® available to the ALS community and intend to work with the FDA to agree on a path forward,” said Chaim Lebovits, President
and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. “We acknowledge that approval will require a confirmatory Phase 3b trial and look forward
to meeting with the FDA to align on the details. The recently announced strategic realignment is a necessary step to conserve and refocus
resources, and we believe this will position us better to accelerate our ALS development program.”</p><p>Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., co-CEO BrainStorm commented,
“We believe we have generated a compelling body of clinical data that support the utility of NurOwn in ALS. We intend to harness
the learnings from our prior studies to conduct a Phase 3b trial as efficiently as possible. We will also continue to engage with the
academic community to share new data with our goal of leveraging the latest results to contribute to new insights into ALS and NurOwn.”</p><p>Third quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights</p><p>Clinical and regulatory</p><p>&amp;middot; In October 2023, Brainstorm withdraw its Biological License Application
(BLA) for NurOwn in ALS. This action was coordinated with FDA and is viewed by the Agency as a withdrawal without prejudice. This decision
was made following the U.S. FDA’s Cellular, Tissue and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee meeting that took place on
September 27. The Committee voted that NurOwn did not demonstrate substantial evidence of effectiveness for treatment of mild to moderate
ALS.</p><p>&amp;middot; The FDA has invited Brainstorm to request an expedited face-to-face
meeting to discuss the path forward for NurOwn® as a treatment for ALS.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
July 2023, new biomarker data from the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn were presented at the 2023
ALS and Related Motor Neuron Diseases Gordon Research Conference. These data show that treatment
with NurOwn significantly elevated markers of neuroprotection and lowered markers of neuroinflammation
and neurodegeneration over time, including neurofilament light (NfL) compared to placebo
in all trial participants. It is believed that reductions in plasma NfL are reasonably likely
to predict clinical benefit in ALS.</p><p>Corporate</p><p>&amp;middot; In October 2023, Brainstorm announced a strategic realignment to enable accelerated development of NurOwn®
for the treatment of ALS. The company is actively exploring various options to raise capital including non-dilutive grants and capitalizing
on its exosome technology. At the same time, it is reducing and refocusing resources by streamlining clean room operations and undertaking
a targeted reduction in headcount of approximately 30 percent. The strategic realignment is expected to cut total resource consumption
by approximately half.</p><p>&amp;middot; In July 2023, Brainstorm closed a registered direct offering with a single institutional investor raising
gross proceeds, before deducting the placement agent&#39;s fees and other offering expenses, of approximately $7.5 million.</p><p>&amp;middot; In July 2023, Brainstorm appointed Bob Dagher, MD, as Executive Vice President and Chief Development
Officer.</p><p>Financial Results
for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2023</p><p>Cash, cash equivalents,
and short-term bank deposits were approximately $1.4 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $3 million as of December 31, 2022.</p><p>Research and development
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $3.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively.</p><p>General and administrative
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.</p><p>Net loss for the three
months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $1.2 million, as compared to a net loss of approximately $6.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2022.</p><p>Net loss per share for
the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.03 and $0.19, respectively.</p><p>For more details on the
financials, including results for the 9 month period ended September 30, 2023, refer to Form 10Q filed with the SEC.</p><p>Conference Call and

a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells
are harvested from each person with ALS and are manufactured using an innovative and proprietary process to secrete neurotrophic factors
to target specific neurodegenerative diseases. The lead program for NurOwn is for the treatment of ALS. BrainStorm&#39;s long-term commitment
to ALS is demonstrated in preclinical research and a series of clinical studies, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the
pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset
through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted, but never before explored in
depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing
a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic
analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative
autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. BrainStorm holds the rights to clinical development
and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide

We truly did our best to make the NurOwn data clear to the FDA Advisory Committee. Unfortunately, had more time and opportunity been allowed, many remaining questions posed by Advisory Committee members could have been sufficiently addressed.&quot;</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm, added: &quot;The discussion in today&#39;s Advisory Committee meeting, and the heartrending testimony of those living with ALS and their loved ones, underscores not only the need for regulatory flexibility but also for continuing research in the field. The people of BrainStorm will do everything in our power to fulfill the obligation we deeply feel we owe to the ALS community, and in the coming weeks we will explore all options available to us.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

Biomarker data in all trial participants showed consistent biological patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation and neurodegeneration and increasing neuroprotective markers relative to placebo. Biomarker patterns were consistent across all NurOwn-participants, including in those with Advanced ALS disease where clinical scales, such as the ALS Functional Rating Scale, have demonstrated measurement challenges. Three CSF biomarkers were predictive of clinical outcomes in NurOwn-treated participants–NfL, galectin-1, latency associated peptide of TGF-beta1 (LAP or TGF-b).</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted but never before explored in depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>BrainStorm previously announced the FDA&#39;s intention to hold an ADCOM meeting to review NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. BrainStorm filed a BLA for NurOwn on September 9, 2022, and received a Refusal to File (RTF) letter from FDA on November 8, 2022. Following a Type A meeting and subsequent discussions with the FDA BrainStorm requested that CBER utilize the FDA&#39;s &quot;File Over Protest&quot; procedure, which offers the shortest amount of time to complete the regulatory process.

Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced
financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and provided a corporate update.</p><p>BrainStorm&#39;s immediate priorities are to prepare for the upcoming
ADCOM meeting to review the BLA for NurOwn®, scheduled for September 27, and complete preparations for commercial launch. The
Company&#39;s senior team is working with expert consultants to ensure it will deliver a compelling presentation to the ADCOM and is prepared
to address the questions that the FDA and members of the committee might raise.</p><p>&quot;We appreciate the FDA&#39;s guidance and input throughout the review
process, which will be instrumental in making a policy decision that meets the needs of those living with ALS,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits,
President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;In parallel with the regulatory work, we are preparing the company for success,
with the goal of making NurOwn available to patients, if approved in December. As part of this initiative, we have been making important
additions to our talented team throughout the year and recently added Dr. Kirk Taylor as our EVP, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bob Dagher
as EVP, Chief Development Officer, as well as Nir Naor as Board Member.&quot;</p><p>Dr. Stacy Lindborg, Co-Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm commented,
&quot;We look forward to discussing NurOwn&#39;s full dataset at the forthcoming ADCOM meeting. Our clinical program has generated complex
results, and the ADCOM meeting will provide us with the opportunity for a thoughtful discussion with scientists, ALS experts, FDA reviewers,
advocates, and patients. We have full confidence in the data we have compiled, and believe that a comprehensive analysis of our
results strongly supports NurOwn&#39;s clinically meaningful effectiveness. In addition, we continue to share our data with the ALS
community at scientific meetings and recently delivered an important presentation at the 2023 ALS and Related Motor Neuron Diseases
Gordon Research Conference . The data from this new analysis showed that treatment with NurOwn significantly elevated markers
of neuroprotection and lowered markers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, including neurofilament light (NfL). Reductions in
plasma NfL are believed to be a predictor of clinical benefit in ALS.&quot;</p><p>Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights</p><p>Clinical and regulatory</p><p>&amp;middot; The
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified BrainStorm that a meeting of the Cellular,
Tissue and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee to review the BLA for NurOwn® has been scheduled
for September 27, 2023 . In addition, BrainStorm&#39;s BLA for NurOwn has been assigned
a PDUFA action date targeted to occur by December 8, 2023.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
July 2023, new biomarker data from the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn were presented at
the 2023 ALS and Related Motor Neuron Diseases Gordon Research Conference . These
data show that treatment with NurOwn significantly elevated markers of neuroprotection and
lowered markers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, including NfL over time compared
to placebo in all trial participants. It is believed that reductions in plasma NfL are reasonably
likely to predict clinical benefit in ALS.</p><p>Corporate</p><p>&amp;middot; In
July 2023, BrainStorm closed a registered direct offering with a single institutional investor
raising gross proceeds, before deducting the placement agent&#39;s fees and other offering expenses,
of approximately $7.5 million.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
July 2023, BrainStorm appointed Dr. Bob Dagher as Executive Vice President and Chief
Development Officer . Dr. Dagher will be responsible for the portfolio strategy and advancement
of clinical development plans towards regulatory approval, including the expansion of NurOwn
into new diseases and the translation of pre-clinical research into first-in-human trials.
He will serve on BrainStorm&#39;s executive leadership team reporting to Dr. Lindborg.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
June 2023, BrainStorm appointed Nir Naor, CPA, CFA, MBA (IMD), LL.M, as Board
Member , chairman of its Audit Committee and member of its Governance, Nomination and
Compensation Committee. Mr. Naor replaced Mr. Malcolm Taub, who retired from the same roles
after 14 years of service on BrainStorm&#39;s Board of Directors.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
April 2023, BrainStorm appointed Dr. Kirk Taylor as Executive Vice President and
Chief Medical Officer , continuing a targeted capability build that was launched with
the promotion of Dr. Lindborg to Co-CEO in January 2023. The capability build is being implemented
to hire and bring expertise inside BrainStorm in preparation for anticipated growth.</p><p>Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2023</p><p>Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits were approximately
$.75 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $3.0 million as of December 31, 2022. In July 2023, subsequent to the end of the quarter,
BrainStorm raised gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million in a registered direct offering.</p><p>Research and development expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively.</p><p>General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.</p><p>Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately
$5.3 million, as compared to a net loss of approximately $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.</p><p>Net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

trial, span pathways that are important to ALS (neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, neuroprotection), and align with NurOwn&#39;s mechanism
of action. Biomarker data in all trial participants showed consistent biological patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation
and neurodegeneration and increasing neuroprotective markers relative to placebo. Biomarker patterns were consistent across all NurOwn-participants,
including in those with Advanced ALS disease where clinical scales, such as the ALS Functional Rating Scale, have demonstrated measurement
challenges. Three CSF biomarkers were predictive of clinical outcomes in NurOwn-treated participants–NfL, galectin-1, latency associated
peptide of TGF-beta1 (LAP or TGF-b).</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the
pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset
through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted but never before explored in
depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing
a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic
analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>BrainStorm previously announced the FDA&#39;s intention to hold an ADCOM
meeting to review NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. BrainStorm filed a BLA for NurOwn on September 9, 2022, and received a Refusal
to File (RTF) letter from FDA on November 8, 2022. Following a Type A meeting and subsequent discussions with the FDA BrainStorm
requested that CBER utilize the FDA&#39;s &quot;File Over Protest&quot; procedure, which offers the shortest amount of time to complete the
regulatory process. The BLA was filed over protest, allowing completion of the regulatory process in the shortest time possible, and
active review resumed on February 7, 2023.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative

It is believed that reductions in plasma NfL are reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit in ALS.</p><p>&quot;It&#39;s well known that in ALS, accounting for disease characteristics such as site of onset, time from first symptom to treatment and baseline physical function are important to understanding the treatment effect in clinical trials given the great heterogeneity in the disease, which can influence prognosis,&quot; said Stacy Lindborg, PhD, BrainStorm co-CEO and presenter of the poster. &quot;The data we presented at the Gordon Research Conference show that it is equally important to examine biomarker data, particularly neurofilament light, which is a predictor of disease progression. Treatment-driven reductions in NfL are associated with better clinical outcomes in ALS.&quot;</p><p>About the data analysis</p><p>The presentation, titled &quot;CSF biomarkers identified as predictive of clinical outcomes in ALS participants following NurOwn treatment in a phase 3 clinical trial: Reductions in NfL associated with less ALSFRS-R decline&quot;, examined biomarkers that were pre-specified in the NurOwn study: 16 pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory, eight neurodegeneration, and nine neuroprotection biomarkers. This analysis is the largest biomarker study conducted in people living with ALS. Cerebrospinal fluid was collected for all participants in the trial seven times, per the protocol. The data provide further evidence of the importance of NfL as a prognostic and predictive biomarker. The addition of baseline disease covariates and additional biomarkers to NfL encompassing inflammation and neuroprotection more fully explains the clinical response to NurOwn observed in the trial.</p><p>The poster presentation is available on the BrainStorm website, on the Events &amp; Presentations section: https://brainstorm-cell.com/investors/events-and-presentations/</p><p>Highlights of the biomarker analysis:</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are harvested from each person with ALS and are manufactured using an innovative and proprietary process to secrete neurotrophic factors to target specific neurodegenerative diseases. The lead program for NurOwn is for the treatment of ALS, which is under FDA review. BrainStorm&#39;s long-term commitment to ALS is demonstrated in preclinical research and a series of clinical studies, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>The Phase 3 pivotal trial NurOwn did not reach statistical significance on the primary or secondary endpoints, likely due to a &quot;floor effect,&quot; which confounds measurement of disease progression in patients with more advanced disease. A thorough analysis of NurOwn Phase 3 data shows evidence of clinically meaningful effectiveness in ALS participants who have not progressed to advanced levels of disease progression. In a pre-specified group of participants with an ALSFRS-R score ³35, there was a larger treatment effect across all endpoints with NurOwn compared to placebo, which aligned with historical trials and the study power assumptions. With a statistically significant difference on a key endpoint (change from baseline in ALSFRS-R). Additionally, a post-hoc sensitivity analysis of patients across threshold of &gt;26 through ≥35 on the ALSFRS-R highlighted that NurOwn-treated patients retain, on average, two points of function more compared to placebo -- clinically meaningful preservation and important for quality of life for a person living with ALS and their loved ones.</p><p>NurOwn&#39;s clinical program also included the largest cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker study ever done in ALS, strong and consistent biomarker data, which are predictive of clinical response in the trial, span pathways that are important to ALS (neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, neuroprotection), and align with NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action. Biomarker data in all trial participants showed consistent biological patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation and neurodegeneration and increasing neuroprotective markers relative to placebo. Biomarker patterns were consistent across all NurOwn-participants, including in those with Advanced ALS disease where clinical scales, such as the ALS Functional Rating Scale, have demonstrated measurement challenges. Three CSF biomarkers were predictive of clinical outcomes in NurOwn-treated participants– neurofilament light (NfL), galectin-1, latency associated peptide of TGF-beta1 (LAP or TGF-b).</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted but never before explored in depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>BrainStorm previously announced the FDA intension to hold an ADCOM meeting to review NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. The company filed a BLA for NurOwn on September 9, 2022, and received a Refusal to File (RTF) letter from FDA on November 8, 2022. Following a Type A meeting and subsequent discussions with the FDA BrainStorm requested that CBER utilize the FDA&#39;s &quot;File Over Protest&quot; procedure, which offers the shortest amount of time to complete the regulatory process. The BLA was filed over protest, allowing completion of the regulatory process in the shortest time possible, and active review resumed on February 7, 2023.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

We remain confident in NurOwn and believe our data support regulatory approval. As is the case with most ALS research, our clinical program generated complex results, which deserve a thoughtful and holistic review by scientists, ALS experts, FDA reviewers, advocates, and patients. We believe this approach honors the needs of those living with ALS and offers the greatest promise for BrainStorm to fulfill our commitment to the ALS community.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are harvested from each person with ALS and are manufactured using an innovative and proprietary process to secrete neurotrophic factors to target specific neurodegenerative diseases. The lead program for NurOwn is for the treatment of ALS, which is under FDA review. BrainStorm&#39;s long-term commitment to ALS is demonstrated in preclinical research and a series of clinical studies, all of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.</p><p>The Phase 3 pivotal trial NurOwn did not reach statistical significance on the primary or secondary endpoints, likely due to a &quot;floor effect,&quot; which confounds measurement of disease progression in patients with more advanced disease. A thorough analysis of NurOwn Phase 3 data shows evidence of clinically meaningful effectiveness in ALS participants who have not progressed to advanced levels of disease progression. In a pre-specified group of participants with an ALSFRS-R score ³35, there was larger treatment effect across all endpoints with NurOwn compared to placebo, which aligned with historical trials and the study power assumptions. With a statistically significant difference on a key endpoint (change from baseline in ALSFRS-R). Additionally, a post-hoc sensitivity analysis of patients across threshold of &gt;26 through ≥35 on the ALSFRS-R highlighted that NurOwn-treated patients retain, on average, two points of function more compared to placebo - clinically meaningful preservation and important for quality of life for a person living with ALS and their loved ones.</p><p>NurOwn&#39;s clinical program also included the largest cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker study ever done in ALS, strong and consistent biomarker data, which are predictive of clinical response in the trial, span pathways that are important to ALS (neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, neuroprotection), and align with NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action. Biomarker data in all trial participants showed consistent biological patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation and neurodegeneration, and increasing neuroprotective markers relative to placebo. Biomarker patterns were consistent across all NurOwn-participants, including in those with Advanced ALS disease where clinical scales, such as the ALS Functional Rating Scale, have demonstrated measurement challenges. Three CSF biomarkers were predictive of clinical outcomes in NurOwn-treated participants– neurofilament light (NfL), galectin-1, latency associated peptide of TGF-beta1 (LAP or TGF-b).</p><p>The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into the pathology of ALS, as well as disease progression and treatment. Since the initial Phase 3 readout, BrainStorm has shared the full dataset through rigorous peer-reviewed analysis, including: quantification of Floor Effect, which had been noted but never before explored in depth; evaluation of multiple pre-specified biomarkers, collected at seven different points across 20 weeks during the trial, allowing a longitudinal view; and analysis of genetic data, which represents one of the first ALS trials to prospectively invoke pharmacogenomic analysis of clinical outcome, offering great promise for the development of future treatments for ALS.</p><p>BrainStorm previously announced the FDA intention to hold an ADCOM meeting to review NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. The company filed a BLA for NurOwn on September 9, 2022, and received a Refusal to File (RTF) letter from FDA on November 8, 2022. Following a Type A meeting and subsequent discussions with the FDA, BrainStorm requested that CBER utilize the FDA&#39;s &quot;File Over Protest&quot; procedure, which offers the shortest amount of time to complete the regulatory process. The BLA active review was resumed on February 7, 2023.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

Application (BLA) for NurOwn® for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The FDA noted that it will provide a date for the ADCOM and a Prescription Drug User Fee
Act (PDUFA) target action date for the BLA in due course.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
April 2023, BrainStorm announced the appointment of Dr. Kirk Taylor as Executive Vice
President and Chief Medical Officer , continuing a targeted capability build that was
launched with the promotion of Dr. Stacy Lindborg to Co-CEO in January 2023. The capability
build is being implemented to hire and bring expertise inside BrainStorm in preparation for
anticipated growth.</p><p>&amp;middot; A
presentation at the 2023 MDA Clinical and Scientific Conference featured post hoc
sensitivity analyses that suggest a floor effect of the ALSFRS-R resulted in measurement
challenges in participants with advanced ALS enrolled in NurOwn’s Phase 3 trial and
in historical studies included in the PRO-ACT database. Analyses of data from participants
from NurOwn’s Phase 3 trial who were not impacted by the floor effect at baseline revealed
statistically significant, clinically meaningful effects with NurOwn on the primary and key
secondary endpoints. The presentation was delivered by Dr. Lindborg.</p><p>&amp;middot; A
presentation delivered by Dr. Lindborg at the 13 th Annual California ALS
Research Summit included Phase 3 results showing that, in analyses controlling for the
ALSFRS-R floor effect, participants treated with NurOwn had significantly better outcomes
compared to participants treated with placebo. These findings aligned with historical data
and power calculations of the Phase 3 trial.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
January 2023, BrainStorm announced a partnership with the Northeast Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (NEALS) Consortium, The ALS Association and I AM ALS to make biospecimens from
NurOwn&#39;s placebo-controlled Phase 3 ALS trial available for use by the research community.
This partnership is in connection to a $500,000 grant previously awarded to BrainStorm by
The ALS Association and I AM ALS to support biomarker research. The specimens have been received
by the biorepository and access to them will be governed by NEALS.</p><p>Financial Results

Application for NurOwn ® for the treatment of ALS to be discussed in an upcoming FDA Advisory Committee Meeting</p><p>Conference call
and webcast at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time today</p><p>NEW YORK, March
30, 2023 - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative
diseases, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.</p><p>“Our priority
in 2023 is to advance NurOwn ® through the regulatory process as expeditiously as possible, including making preparations
for our upcoming Advisory Committee Meeting,” said BrainStorm’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chaim Lebovits
and Co-CEO Dr. Stacy Lindborg in a joint statement. “The ADCOM will provide an invaluable opportunity for an open and thoughtful
discussion among BrainStorm, regulators, ALS experts, and other key stakeholders on both the urgent need for new ALS therapies and the
robust and intricate dataset that we believe supports NurOwn’s approval. As we move towards this important event, our clinical
trial results and experienced team give us confidence in our ability to secure a successful outcome and execute on our mission of improving
the lives of individuals with ALS.”</p><p>Fourth Quarter
2022 and Recent Highlights</p><p>U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
notified BrainStorm in a written communication that the Agency will hold an Advisory Committee Meeting (ADCOM) to review the company’s
Biologics License Application (BLA) for NurOwn for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).</p><p>&amp;middot; To
meet its goal of proceeding to an ADCOM as expeditiously as possible, BrainStorm utilized
the FDA’s File Over protest procedure to return the BLA to active review and filed
an amendment which responds to most of the outstanding questions previously posed by the
FDA. The Agency notified Brainstorm that it will set a date for the ADCOM as well as a Prescription
Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date in due course.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
January 2023, Dr. Stacy Lindborg was promoted to Co-CEO, launching a targeted capability
build designed to position BrainStorm for sustained success.</p><p>&amp;middot; A
presentation at the 2023 MDA Clinical and Scientific Conference delivered by Dr. Lindborg
featured post hoc sensitivity analyses from NurOwn’s Phase 3 ALS trial. The presentation
showed that a floor effect was observed in the PRO-ACT database, and a pattern of a plateau
in ALSFRS-R total score was accompanied by scale items of 0 suggesting measurement challenges
in those with advanced ALS due to the floor effect of the ALSFRS-R in the NurOwn phase 3
trial and historical studies which are included in the PRO-ACT database. Analyses conducted
in participants not impacted by the floor effect at baseline of the NurOwn phase 3 trial
revealed statistically significant, clinically meaningful effects with NurOwn on the primary
and key secondary endpoints.</p><p>&amp;middot; Announced
a partnership with the Northeast Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (NEALS) Consortium, The ALS
Association and I AM ALS to provide biospecimens from NurOwn&#39;s placebo-controlled Phase 3
ALS trial to for use by the research community. The specimens are being submitted to the
NEALS biorepository in connection with a $500,000 grant previously awarded to BrainStorm
by The ALS Association and I AM ALS, to support biomarker research.</p><p>&amp;middot; Additional
analyses from the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn in ALS were featured in a presentation at the 21 st Annual
NEALS Meeting . These analyses further strengthened the body of evidence supporting a
clinically meaningful treatment effect with NurOwn in ALS. Two complementary post-hoc sensitivity
analysis methods showed that, after controlling for the impact of the ALSFRS-R floor effect,
participants treated with NurOwn had a higher rate of clinical response and less function
lost across 28 weeks compared to placebo. The presentation was co-delivered by Dr. Lindborg
and Merit Cudkowicz, MD, MSC, Chief of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne
Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and Director of the Sean M. Healey
&amp; AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital.</p><p>&amp;middot; Biomarker
data from the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn in ALS were featured in a presentation delivered by
Dr. Lindborg at the 5 th Annual ALS ONE Research Symposium . The data showed
NurOwn modulated pathways related to neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, and neuroprotection,
with changes that were consistent regardless of a participant’s level of disease progression
at baseline. These data provide further evidence of NurOwn’s multifaceted mechanism
of action and of the importance of accounting for ALSFRS-R floor effects when evaluating
clinical endpoints.</p><p>&amp;middot; Findings
from the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn in ALS, including biomarker data and analyses accounting
for the ALSFRS-R floor effect, were presented at the 13 th Annual California
ALS Research Summit by Dr. Lindborg. The presentation demonstrated that NurOwn had significantly
better outcomes in analyses controlling for the floor effect. Outcomes that aligned with
historical data and power calculations of the trial.</p><p>&amp;middot; Biomarker
data from the Phase 2 trial of NurOwn in progressive multiple sclerosis were presented at
the 38 th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in
Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS). The data showed robust increases in levels of neuroprotective
biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid with NurOwn treatment, thereby providing important biological
context for clinical outcome data showing large, clinically meaningful improvements in some
trial participants, as defined by response criteria, across all endpoints measured. These
observed improvements diverged from what was seen in matched patients with progressive MS
from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis (CLIMB) registry. The
presentation was delivered by Jeffrey Cohen, MD, Hazel Prior Hostetler Endowed Chair and
Professor of Neurology, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Director, Experimental
Therapeutics, Mellen Center for MS Treatment and Research.</p><p>Financial Results

that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver
multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow
or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>BrainStorm filed the
BLA for ALS on September 9, 2022. BrainStorm received a Refusal to File letter from FDA on November 8, 2022, and requested a Type A meeting
on December 9, 2022, which was held on January 11, 2023. The perspective shared by the FDA review team reflected what was in the previously
issued RTF letter. Conversations with the FDA continued, following the Type A meeting, on the best pathway to resolve the outstanding
questions that remained. During these discussions, BrainStorm was presented with multiple options to return the BLA to regulatory review,
which included the regulatory procedure to File over Protest. With the commitment by FDA to accept amendments that were filed to address
items raised in the FTF letter, BrainStorm notified the FDA on February 6, 2023 of our decision to request the FDA to file the NurOwn
BLA for ALS over Protest.</p><p>About BrainStorm

Our goal has always been to make NurOwn available to people living with ALS as quickly as possible, therefore we chose the File Over Protest pathway since this offered the fastest path to an ADCOM and regulatory decision relative to other pathways provided by the FDA,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;The ALS community needs additional treatment options now, and we firmly believe our data support regulatory approval of NurOwn. We are grateful to the FDA for the opportunity to have the clinical evidence supporting NurOwn reviewed.&quot;</p><p>Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., BrainStorm&#39;s Co-Chief Executive Officer commented, &quot;ALS is a horrific, neurodegenerative disease that moves at a terrifying speed, robbing people of their ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe. Securing an ADCOM represents an important step towards our goal of making NurOwn broadly available to individuals living with ALS who are in urgent need of new, effective therapies. The meeting will provide an open forum for BrainStorm and the FDA, together with medical experts, statisticians, and the ALS community, to thoughtfully review all available evidence supporting NurOwn. We remain confident in NurOwn and we are committed to doing everything in our power to make the product available quickly to people living with ALS. We look forward to a robust scientific discussion.&quot;</p><p>Brian Wallach, patient advocate and founder of the non-profit organization I AM ALS, added, &quot;I want to thank the FDA and BrainStorm for having this important ADCOM. As was said in the petition submitted to the FDA and signed by over 30,000 people living with ALS, caregivers, and advocates, &#39;an Advisory Committee Meeting will allow for an independent review of NurOwn as well as the data on efficacy and safety. It is critical for all ALS treatments that they be given the chance to proceed to an ADCOM.&#39; The ALS community has waited years for this ADCOM. It is time to let the science have a full, fair, and transparent hearing so that we can get this treatment to people who are living with and dying from ALS as soon as possible.&quot;</p><p>Conference Call and webcast:</p><p>Brainstorm management will host a conference call and webcast, including a Q&amp;A session, today, March 27, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. ET.

We intend to provide a further update once we have received the minutes from the meeting, or when we have more clarity on the next steps in the approval process.&quot;</p><p>About the Phase 3 Trial of NurOwn in ALS</p><p>BrainStorm previously completed a Phase 3 trial in approximately 200 participants with ALS (Cudkowicz et al., 2022 Muscle and Nerve). In an attempt to examine a real-world population, the study enrolled people with more advanced disease than other late-stage ALS trials. In fact, more than a third of these participants with advanced disease entered the trial with one or more dimensions of physical function (e.g., dressing/hygiene, cutting food, walking) starting at the lowest possible score of 0 on the ALSFRS-R; thereby preventing the measurement of further deterioration. A pre-specified subgroup of participants, with baseline ALSFRS-R ≥35, which controls for this &#39;scale effect&#39; showed a trend to a meaningful increase in the clinical response with NurOwn compared to placebo. The secondary endpoint, average ALSFRS-R change from baseline to 28 weeks in this subgroup, was statistically significant (p=0.050, Muscle and Nerve Supplemental File and Muscle and Nerve Erratum). In addition, post-hoc sensitivity analyses were presented in November 2022 (21st Annual NEALS Meeting 2022) which also showed a statistical trend towards a clinically meaningful treatment effect with NurOwn across subgroups, and one that is consistent with the pre-specified subgroup of participants with less advanced ALS at baseline. Finally, biomarker data in all trial participants also showed consistent patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation and neurodegeneration, and increasing neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory markers relative to placebo, further supporting the notion that trial participants taking NurOwn are indeed experiencing a positive biological effect (ALS ONE Research Symposia 2022).</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

to facilitate NurOwn’s advancement following receipt of a refusal to file letter regarding the company’s new Biologics License
Application</p><p>Conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. Eastern
Time today</p><p>NEW YORK, November 14, 2022 - BrainStorm
Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today
announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, and provided a corporate update.</p><p>“Our commitment to ALS patients and our belief in NurOwn’s
potential to address their unmet medical needs remains unchanged, despite our receipt of a refusal to file letter regarding our new Biologics
License Application,” said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of Brainstorm. “Our next step is to request a Type A meeting
with the FDA, which will help us explore the best path forward to accomplish our goal of providing ALS patients with broad access to NurOwn.
We believe that an important part of the regulatory process will be an FDA Advisory Committee meeting
to discuss NurOwn, as this will allow a fair hearing in an open and transparent setting. We are grateful for the support we are receiving
and look forward to providing more information on our Earnings Call around the FDA feedback we have received, and our next steps.”</p><p>Third Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; BrainStorm intends to request a Type A meeting with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the contents of a refusal to file letter issued by the FDA regarding the company’s New Biologics
License Application (BLA) for NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. As part of the Type A meeting, the company plans to discuss with the FDA
a path to an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.</p><p>&amp;middot; Additional
analyses from NurOwn’s Phase 3 ALS trial that account for measurement limitations in
the lower part of the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) were presented at the
21 st Annual NEALS Meeting . These
analyses add to the robust body of evidence supporting a clinically meaningful treatment
effect with NurOwn in ALS, as two complementary post-hoc sensitivity analysis methods showed
that, after controlling for the impact of the ALSFRS-R floor effect, participants treated
with NurOwn had a higher rate of clinical response and less function lost across 28 weeks
compared to placebo. The presentation was jointly delivered by Stacy Lindborg, PhD, Executive
Vice President and Chief Development Officer at BrainStorm and Merit Cudkowicz, MD, MSC,
Chief of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology
at Harvard Medical School, and Director of the Sean M. Healey &amp; AMG Center for ALS at
Massachusetts General Hospital.</p><p>&amp;middot; Biomarker
analyses from NurOwn’s Phase 3 ALS trial presented at the 5th
Annual ALS ONE Research Symposium confirmed the importance of accounting for ALSFRS-R
floor effects when evaluating clinical endpoints. The new biomarker data presented indicate
that NurOwn had similar biological effects on Phase 3 trial participants regardless
of the level of disease progression at baseline, providing further evidence confirming NurOwn’s
multifaceted mechanism of action. Furthermore,
biomarkers spanning the 3 key pathways of neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and neuroprotection
were identified by a pre-specified model linking the changes in biomarkers in participants
treated with NurOwn to the clinical outcomes observed in the trial. The
presentation was delivered by Dr. Stacy Lindborg, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Brainstorm.</p><p>&amp;middot; Full
results from a single-arm, Phase 2 trial of NurOwn were published
in the peer-reviewed Multiple Sclerosis Journal. The results demonstrate NurOwn’s safety and provide preliminary
evidence of efficacy in patients with progressive multiple
sclerosis (MS). Treatment with NurOwn resulted in large, clinically meaningful improvements
in some progressive MS patients, as defined by response criteria, across all endpoints measured.
These observed improvements diverged from what was seen in matched patients with progressive
MS from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis (CLIMB) registry.
In addition, biomarker analyses confirmed NurOwn’s proposed mechanism of action in
progressive MS by showing consistent treatment effects in neuroinflammation and neuroprotection
pathways.</p><p>&amp;middot; Biomarker data from the Phase 2 trial of NurOwn
in progressive MS was presented at the 38 th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis
(ECTRIMS) by Jeffrey Cohen, MD, Hazel Prior Hostetler Endowed Chair and Professor of Neurology, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine,
Director, Experimental Therapeutics, Mellen Center for MS Treatment and Research. The presented data provide important biological context
for the trial’s observed clinical outcomes, as they showed NurOwn treatment resulting in robust increases in neuroprotective biomarkers
in cerebrospinal fluid.</p><p>Financial Results for the Third Quarter

The company intends to request a Type A meeting and looks forward to continued discussions with the FDA,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;We continue to believe that NurOwn&#39;s Phase 3 trial represents a significant contribution to ALS therapy and will continue to work tirelessly to address the needs of people living with ALS by advancing science and partnering with researchers around the world.&quot;</p><p>The three, co-principal investigators of the NurOwn Phase 3 study were Dr. Robert Brown, Director of the Program in Neurotherapeutics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. Merit Cudkowicz, Chief of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Sean M. Healey &amp; AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Tony Windebank, Professor of Neurology and Judith and James Pape Adams Foundation Professor of Neuroscience at Mayo Clinic.</p><p>Drs. Brown, Cudkowicz and Windebank jointly stated, &quot;While the pre-specified primary outcome measure was not met, there were participants with beneficial clinical effects and overall changes in relevant biomarkers of drug effect. Understanding whether there are people with ALS who might respond better to NurOwn is important given the unmet therapeutic need. As the three co-PIs of the Phase 3 study of NurOwn, we support continued discussions with the FDA on the best path forward.&quot;</p><p>BrainStorm completed a Phase 3 trial in 200 participants with ALS (Cudkowicz et al., 2022 Muscle and Nerve). In the attempt to examine a real-world population, the study enrolled people with more advanced disease than other late-stage ALS trials. In fact, more than a third of these participants with advanced disease entered the trial with the one or more dimensions of physical function (e.g., dressing/hygiene, cutting food, walking) starting at the lowest possible score of 0 on the ALSFRS-R; thereby preventing the measurement of further deterioration. A pre-specified subgroup of participants, with baseline ALSFRS-R³35, which controls for this &quot;scale effect&quot; showed a trend to a meaningful increase in the clinical response with NurOwn compared to placebo. The secondary endpoint, average ALSFRS-R change from baseline to 28 weeks in this subgroup, was statistically significant (p=0.050, Muscle and Nerve Supplemental File and Muscle and Nerve Erratum). In addition, post-hoc sensitivity analyses were presented last week (21st Annual NEALS Meeting 2022) which also showed a statistical trend towards a clinically meaningful treatment effect with NurOwn across subgroups, and one that is consistent with the pre-specified subgroup of participants with less advanced ALS at baseline. Finally, biomarker data in all trial participants also showed consistent patterns of NurOwn reducing markers of inflammation and neurodegeneration, and increasing neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory markers relative to placebo, further supporting the notion that trial participants taking NurOwn are indeed experiencing a positive biological effect (ALS ONE Research Symposia 2022).</p><p>BrainStorm will discuss its corporate strategy and plans to advance NurOwn&#39;s development on its third quarter 2022 earnings call, to take place at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, November 14, 2022. Those interested in joining the call can find additional information here.</p><p>Phase 3 NurOwn Study Design</p><p>The Phase 3 NurOwn trial was a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of NurOwn in 189 ALS participants. It was conducted at six centers of excellence: University of California Irvine (Dr. Namita Goyal); Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Dr. Matthew Burford, Dr. Robert Baloh); California Pacific Medical Center (Prof. Robert Miller, Dr. Jonathan Katz); Massachusetts General Hospital (Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, Dr. James Berry); University of Massachusetts Medical School (Prof. Robert Brown) and Mayo Clinic (Prof. Anthony Windebank, Dr. Nathan Staff). Potential participants with ALS were screened during an 18-week run-in period and those who were rapid progressors (defined as participants with at least a 3-point decrease in ALSFRS-R score during the run-in period) were randomized 1:1 to receive three intrathecal injections (8 weeks between each injection) of NurOwn or placebo. Participants were followed for 28 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoints of the trial were safety assessments and a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALSFRS-R score over 28 weeks, where response was defined as participants with a 1.25 points/month improvement in the post-treatment versus pre-treatment slope in ALSFRS-R at 28 weeks following the first treatment. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of participants with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

Two orthogonal approaches designed to account for ALSFRS-R&#39;s inability to accurately assess disease progression in patients with advanced ALS demonstrate a statistical trend towards a clinically meaningful treatment effect with NurOwn, and one that is consistent with the pre-specified subgroup of participants with less advanced ALS at baseline (ALSFRS-R ≥ 35). We believe this consistency, together with the biomarker data we reported last month at the ALS ONE Symposium, adds weight to the important conclusions we can draw from our new analyses.&quot;</p><p>Dr. Cudkowicz commented, &quot;We have learned a lot about both the clinical and biological (biomarker) effects of NurOwn in people with ALS.

When the subgroup of participants above 26 are analyzed, 2 points of function are preserved on average across 28 weeks in participants treated with NurOwn compared to placebo (p&lt;.05). Moreover, statistical modeling identified biomarkers that have the potential to predict clinical response to NurOwn observed in the trial, with markers of neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection selected in the final model. Novel therapies that simultaneously target multiple pathways may offer great potential in the treatment of ALS and highlights the advantages that may come with NurOwn&#39;s ability to simultaneously modulate multiple biological pathways.&quot;</p><p>Presentation Highlights</p><p>NurOwn Phase 3 Trial Patient Population and Clinical Outcomes</p><p>Biomarker Data</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of Brainstorm commented, &quot;We are grateful to ALS ONE for the opportunity to present these important new data on NurOwn.

It was conducted at six centers of excellence: University of California Irvine (Dr. Namita Goyal); Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Dr. Matthew Burford, Dr. Robert Baloh); California Pacific Medical Center (Prof. Robert Miller, Dr. Jonathan Katz); Massachusetts General Hospital (Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, Dr. James Berry); University of Massachusetts Medical School (Prof. Robert Brown) and Mayo Clinic (Prof. Anthony Windebank, Dr. Nathan Staff). Potential participants with ALS were screened during an 18-week run-in period and those who were rapid progressors (defined as participants with at least a 3-point decrease in ALSFRS-R score during the run-in period) were randomized 1:1 to receive three intrathecal injections (8 weeks between each injection) of NurOwn or placebo. Participants were followed for 28 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoints of the trial were safety assessments and a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALSFRS-R score over 28 weeks, where response was defined as participants with a 1.25 points/month improvement in the post-treatment versus pre-treatment slope in ALSFRS-R at 28 weeks following the first treatment. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of participants with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

Additionally, biomarker analyses confirmed NurOwn&#39;s proposed mechanism of action by showing consistent treatment effects in neuroinflammation and neuroprotection pathways.</p><p>Twenty participants were enrolled into the Phase 2 trial, with seventeen receiving all three scheduled NurOwn treatments. The mean age of study participants was 47 years with a mean expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score of 5.4 at screening. Results from the trial were compared to 48 matched control patients who were selected from the from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis (CLIMB) registry (Brigham and Women&#39;s Hospital and the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases) at the beginning of the trial.</p><p>Treatment with NurOwn resulted in large, clinically meaningful improvements in some patients, as defined by response criteria, across all endpoints measured. These endpoints included timed 25-foot walk speed (T25FW), 9-hole peg test (9HPT), multiple sclerosis walking scale (MSWS), symbol digit modality test (SDMT), and low contrast letter acuity (LCLA). These observed improvements diverged from what was seen in matched patients with progressive MS from the CLIMB registry. Key data from the trial, as well as relevant comparisons to the matched CLIMB registry patients, are shown below.</p><p>Across all participants, improvements in function as measured by LCLA, SDMT and MS Functional Composite (MSFC) were observed. Mean improvements from baseline of 3.3 points in the LCLA binocular (2.5% contrast), 3.8 points on the SDMT, and 0.18 points in MSFC were observed in treated trial participants. The corresponding changes in matched CLIMB registry patients estimated at 28 weeks showed declines in function on the LCLA and MSFC. The average change in function decline as measured by T25FW, 9HPT, and EDSS across all treated trial participants demonstrated stabilization of functional decline, with similar or slightly worse findings observed in the matched CLIMB registry patients for the same endpoints.</p><p>There were no adverse events related to worsening of MS disease and no clinically significant changes in safety lab results/vital signs, confirming NurOwn&#39;s favorable safety profile. Two patients developed symptoms of low back and leg pain, consistent with arachnoiditis, occurring in one of three treatments in both participants.</p><p>Treatment also consistently resulted in increases in cerebrospinal fluid neuroprotective factors (VEGF–A, HGF, NCAM-1, Follistatin, LIF and Fetuin–A) and reductions in inflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, sCD27, SDF-1, and Osteopontin), confirming NurOwn&#39;s proposed mechanism of action in progressive MS.</p><p>&quot;We were pleased that the study&#39;s initial results showed efficacy in patients with progressive MS,&quot; said Jeffrey Cohen, M.D., Hazel Prior Hostetler Endowed Chair Professor, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Director, Experimental Therapeutics, Mellen Center for MS Treatment and Research, and the paper&#39;s lead author. &quot;There are both promising biological and preliminary clinical signals of a treatment effect that will require confirmation in a randomized trial.&quot;</p><p>&quot;There is a high unmet need for better treatments for progressive forms of MS and we congratulate the Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics team for the successful completion and publication of this important study. We look forward to future studies that will help to fully understand the potential of NurOwn and other cell-based therapies for this hard-to-treat form of disease&quot; said Bruce Bebo, EVP Research National MS Society.</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics stated, &quot;Having these data peer reviewed and published in the prestigious Multiple Sclerosis Journal is an important step in the evaluation of NurOwn in progressive MS. We appreciate the expertise and commitment of the study investigators and contributions of study participants to advance our understanding of NurOwn&#39;s cellular technology platform. Thanks to their efforts and those of the BrainStorm team, we believe we are closer to providing a meaningful treatment option for those with progressive MS&quot;.</p><p>Ralph Kern, M.D., MHSc, President and Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics and co-author of the paper commented, &quot;This publication provides preliminary evidence of NurOwn&#39;s potential to modify functional outcomes in progressive MS, which we believe warrants further study. In addition, consistent changes in cerebrospinal fluid neuroinflammation and neuroprotection biomarkers reveal how NurOwn may impact disease mechanisms in progressive MS and are complementary to biomarker results observed in our Phase 3 ALS trial. These observations provide further support for NurOwn as a platform technology with potential broad applications and will bolster BrainStorm&#39;s efforts to bring much needed solutions to patients with progressive MS, ALS, and other neurodegenerative diseases.&quot;</p><p>Study Design The Phase 2 study (BCT-101) was designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and biomarker effects of three intrathecal administrations of NurOwn (MSC-NTF cells), given at two-month intervals, to adults with progressive MS. The trial was conducted at four MS centers of excellence: Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for MS, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, and Stanford University School of Medicine. Twenty participants ages 18-65 with progressive MS were enrolled and 17 received all three treatments and were followed for up to 28 weeks. Participants had baseline EDSS scores of between 3.0 and 6.5, were able to walk 25 feet in 60 seconds or less and had not experienced an MS relapse in the 6 months prior to study enrollment.</p><p>The primary efficacy outcome was pre-specified improvement (≥25%) in T25FW or 9-HPT. Additional efficacy endpoints included pre-specified improvements in EDSS, SDMT, LCLA, and MSWS-12. The efficacy outcomes were compared to a pre-specified matched group of progressive MS patients from CLIMB registry (n=48) (Tanuja Chitnis, M.D. Brigham and Women&#39;s Hospital and the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases). The study was sponsored by Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics with additional financial support for biomarker analyses received from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Fast-Forward Commercial Research Funding Program.

Time today</p><p>NEW YORK, August 15, 2022 - BrainStorm
Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today
announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided a corporate update. The company also announced its
decision to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for NurOwn ® for the treatment
of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).</p><p>BrainStorm announces decision to submit a BLA
to the FDA for NurOwn® for the treatment of ALS</p><p>“Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics is at a pivotal
moment as a company as we finalize the regulatory filing for NurOwn ® in the treatment of ALS. The continued analysis and the
feedback received from the many scientific presentations of NurOwn’s ® Phase 3 data have uncovered key insights that furthered
our understanding of the product mechanism of action and therapeutic potential and strengthened the conclusions of NurOwn’s ® 
efficacy,” said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer. “After carefully considering these learnings, the totality of the
evidence from NurOwn’s ® clinical studies, and the feedback received from key opinion leaders and the broader ALS community,
we will submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA. We are deeply grateful to the ALS clinical experts, members of the ALS community
and faithful investors for their contribution to the development of NurOwn ® and what it may mean to those living with ALS.
Their contributions and commitment made our current progress possible and continue to inspire us as we prepare for the considerable work
ahead. We intend to provide additional updates upon learning whether the FDA files our BLA submission.”</p><p>New clinical analyses strengthen the conclusions
from NurOwn’s® Phase 3 clinical trial</p><p>A correction was made to the Muscle and Nerve publication
from December 2021 describing the results of NurOwn’s® Phase 3 clinical trial in ALS following new clinical analyses which
strengthen the Company’s original conclusions from the trial. The correction results in a statistically significant treatment difference
(p=0.050) of more than 2 points for an important secondary endpoint, average change from baseline in ALSFRS-R, in the pre-specified efficacy
subgroup of participants with a baseline score of at least 35. Analyses reported in the original publication utilized an efficacy model
that unintentionally deviated from the trial’s pre-specified statistical analysis plan by erroneously incorporating interaction
terms between the subgroup and treatment. The newly published results, which includes supporting information to the publication, employ
the efficacy model as pre-specified in the trial’s statistical analysis plan, correcting the analyses. The correction also relates
to the other subgroup analyses published for this endpoint, demonstrating that all subgroups with ALSFRS-R baseline scores of at least
26 to 35 showed a statistically significant benefit following treatment with NurOwn® (p&amp;le;0.050) on this secondary endpoint.</p><p>Other Second Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented new analyses from NurOwn&#39;s® Phase
3 ALS trial that showed a treatment effect in participants predicted by the ENCALS model to have intermediate to very long survival. These
analyses confirmed the importance of avoiding potentially misclassifying treatment responses due to the ALSFRS-R floor effect and were
presented in a poster presentation at the 2022 European Network for the Cure of ALS (ENCALS) Meeting. The presentation was delivered by
Dr. Jonathan Katz, principal investigator on the trial and Chair of the Neurology Department and Director of the Forbes Norris ALS Clinic
at the California Pacific Medical Center.</p><p>&amp;middot; Biomarker analyses from NurOwn’s® Phase
3 ALS trial were the subject of an abstract presented at the 2022 American Academy of Neurology Congress by Dr. James Berry, MD, MPH,
principal investigator on the trial and Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic and Chief of the Division
of ALS and Motor Neuron Diseases. Results of the analyses showed significant changes across multiple cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers
following NurOwn® treatment, with the strongest effects observed on biomarkers related to neuroprotection and neuroinflammation.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented a summary of analyses from the Phase
3 trial of NurOwn® in ALS that highlighted the ability of biomarkers to predict clinical treatment response and provide a window into
the complex biological pathways underlying disease progression. The presentation was delivered at the ALS Drug Development Summit by BrainStorm’s
President and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc.</p><p>&amp;middot; Reported new results from the open-label Phase
2 study of NurOwn® in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) that highlighted post-treatment improvements in monocular and binocular
low contrast letter acuity (LCLA) outcomes (1.25% and 2.5% thresholds). In contrast, matched patients from the long-term Comprehensive
Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis (CLIMB) study and participants from the placebo arm of the SPRINT study showed worsening
in LCLA outcomes over a similar time period. The results were presented in a poster presentation delivered by Dr. Kern at the 2022 Consortium
of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) Meeting.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented biomarker analyses from the open-label
Phase 2 study of NurOwn® in progressive MS showing consistent post-treatment reductions in CSF inflammatory biomarkers that may be
relevant to disease progression and treatment response. The presentation was delivered by Dr. Christopher Lock, PhD, Clinical Associate
Professor, Neurology and Neurological Studies, at Stanford School of Medicine, at the CMSC 2022 Meeting.</p><p>&amp;middot; Preclinical in-vitro data that showed
NurOwn® cells maintaining their neurotrophic and immunomodulatory effects in the presence of Siponimod, an S1P modulator recently
approved for the treatment of secondary progressive MS, were presented in a poster presentation at the CMSC 2022 Meeting. The presentation
was delivered by Dr. Sidney Spector, MD, PhD, Senior Vice President, Medical Affairs and Global Strategy at BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics.</p><p>Reported
preclinical data from a murine lung injury model (the bleomycin model) that demonstrated
intrathecal administration of NurOwn®-derived exosomes (Exo MSC-NTF) may have potential
as a clinical therapy for inflammatory pulmonary pathologies and display superior macrophage
immunomodulation compared to na&amp;iuml;ve mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (Exo-MSC).

MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative
disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and
differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete
high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory
cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics

YORK, March 28, 2022 - Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics
for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and provided a corporate
update.</p><p>“We began 2022 with strong momentum and
Phase 3 data showing that NurOwn® appears to deliver meaningful clinical benefits to ALS patients with less advanced disease,”
said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer. “These data have been validated through a manuscript reviewed and accepted by a prestigious
peer-reviewed journal and feedback from key opinion leaders at numerous medical conferences. The insights gained from these interactions
are invaluable as we pursue the optimal path forward to provide broad access to NurOwn for patients with ALS. We also took important steps
to increase our manufacturing capacity and made key additions to our leadership team in preparation for anticipated growth and success.
Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our clinical, regulatory, and corporate goals as we pursue NurOwn’s
continued advancement in ALS and progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS).”</p><p>Fourth Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; Full
results from NurOwn’s Phase 3 trial in ALS published in Muscle and Nerve .
Although previously announced results showed the trial did not reach statistical significance
on the primary or secondary endpoints, pre-specified and post hoc analyses featured in the
publication show a treatment effect with NurOwn across both primary and secondary efficacy
outcomes in patients with less advanced disease. Additionally, the publication links these
clinical results to biomarker changes and confirmed treatment safety.</p><p>&amp;middot; Analyses
leveraging the validated ENCALS prediction model and the primary endpoint from NurOwn’s
Phase 3 trial in ALS presented at the 4 th Annual ALS ONE Research Symposium .
We showed that in participants with less advanced disease (i.e., those predicted to have long
to very long survival) there were more responders with NurOwn compared to placebo (33% vs.
14%). The presentation was delivered by Jonathan S. Katz, MD, a co-principal investigator
on the trial and Chair of the Neurology Department and Director of the Forbes Norris ALS
Clinic at the California Pacific Medical Center.</p><p>&amp;middot; In
Q1 2022, presented genetic analyses from the NurOwn Phase 3 trial in ALS suggesting that
NurOwn treatment may influence disease progression in patients who possess the UNC13A risk
allele. The presentation was delivered in a late-breaking oral session at the 2022 MDA
Clinical &amp; Scientific Conference by Merit E. Cudkowicz, MD, MSc, Chief of Neurology
at Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical
School, Director of the Sean M. Healey &amp; AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General
Hospital.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented
biomarker data from NurOwn’s Phase 3 trial in ALS at the 32 nd International
Symposium on ALS/MND and at the 2021 Northeast Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Consortium ® .
Collectively, these data show significant NurOwn-driven changes across a range of neural
biomarkers and suggest the NurOwn&#39;s biological activity of NurOwn observed across multiple disease pathways
could prove important to impacting the progression of ALS. They also provide an increased
understanding of NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action in ALS and additional evidence linking this
mechanism of action to NurOwn’s potential impact on ALS disease progression. The presentations
were delivered by two principal investigators from the NurOwn Phase 3 trial: Robert H. Brown
Jr., MD, Director of the Program in Neurotherapeutics at the University of Massachusetts
Medical School, and James D. Berry, MD, MPH, Winthrop Family Scholar in ALS Sciences, Director
of the Massachusetts General Hospital multidisciplinary ALS clinic and Chief of the Division
of ALS and Motor Neuron Diseases.</p><p>&amp;middot; Received authorization from the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an extension of the dosing period in NurOwn’s Expanded Access Protocol (EAP). The Agency
recommended that BrainStorm submit the protocol amendment that led to this authorization, which provides patients who completed the EAP
with the opportunity to receive up to three additional doses of NurOwn.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented
Phase 2 clinical trial data of NurOwn in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS)
showing general tolerability, preliminary evidence of efficacy, a reduction in neuroinflammatory biomarkers
in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and an increase in neuroprotective biomarkers in the CSF
at the 37 th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research
in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS). The presentation was delivered by Jeffrey Cohen, MD, Director
of Experimental Therapeutics at the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for MS and Principal Investigator
in the NurOwn MS Phase 2 trial.</p><p>&amp;middot; Finalized the technology transfer for NurOwn
manufacturing at Catalent’s world-class, 32,000 square-foot, cell-therapy facility in Houston, Texas.</p><p>&amp;middot; Granted a new patent in Brazil covering methods
of manufacturing NurOwn.</p><p>&amp;middot; Delivered a presentation at the 2021 Cell &amp; Gene Meeting on the Mesa highlighting the expansion of
BrainStorm&#39;s technology portfolio to include autologous and allogeneic product candidates covering multiple neurological diseases.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented
positive preclinical results at the NYSCF 2021 VIRTUAL Meeting. These results suggest
that intrathecal administration of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) isolated from mesenchymal
stem cells that were induced to secrete increased levels of regenerative and immunoregulatory
factors based on the NurOwn technology platform may have therapeutic potential in acute lung-related
pathologies (e.g., acute respiratory distress syndrome).</p><p>&amp;middot; Appointed 
Kim Thacker, MD, as Senior VP, Medical Affairs and Clinical Innovation and Sidney A. Spector, MD, PhD, as Senior VP, Global Strategy
and Medical Affairs. Drs. Thacker and Spector are working together to create a formal global medical affairs function as the Company
prepares for anticipated growth.</p><p>&amp;middot; Expanded
the responsibilities of Stacy Lindborg, PhD, with a promotion to the new position of Chief Development Officer.</p><p>&amp;middot; Appointed Menghis
Bairu, MD, to the Company&#39;s Board of Directors.</p><p>&amp;middot; Presented
a corporate and clinical overview at the 12 th Annual California ALS Research
Summit .</p><p>Financial Results for the Year Ended December
31, 2021</p><p>Cash, cash equivalents,
and short-term bank deposits were approximately $22.1 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $41.9 million as of December 31, 2020.</p><p>Research and development

Although previously announced results showed the trial did not reach statistical significance on the primary or secondary endpoints, pre-specified and post hoc analyses show a NurOwn-induced treatment effect across both primary and secondary efficacy outcomes in those with less advanced disease.</p><p>&quot;I am thankful for all the participants, faculty and staff at the six trial sites who all worked together to ensure the quality and rigor of this study,&quot; said Merit Cudkowicz, MD, MSc, Chief of Neurology Massachusetts General Hospital, Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology Harvard Medical School, Director Sean M. Healey &amp; AMG Center for ALS at Mass General Hospital, and the study&#39;s lead author. &quot;There are both biological and clinical signals of a treatment effect - as a community, we must review these carefully. Understanding how to use biomarkers to tailor treatments, like NurOwn, is an essential new direction in ALS therapy development.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Having these data peer reviewed and published in such a prestigious journal is an important milestone in the NurOwn development program, providing us with the ability to allow full transparency into the trial results and gain external validation from a journal devoted to publishing the most important findings on neuromuscular disorders and treatment options,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics. &quot;When viewed in totality, we believe the trial&#39;s data provide evidence of NurOwn&#39;s effectiveness in driving meaningful clinical benefit for ALS patients with less advanced disease. We look forward to discussing these findings with regulators and remain fully committed to pursuing the best and most expeditious path forward to bring NurOwn to patients.&quot;</p><p>Key data and conclusions from the paper include:</p><p>Demographics:</p><p>Efficacy:</p><p>Biomarkers:</p><p>Safety:</p><p>NurOwn was well tolerated in the trial with no clinically significant differences in safety assessments observed between treatment groups.</p><p>Stacy R. Lindborg, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics, and co-author of the paper commented, &quot;The publication provides a transparent view into this important NurOwn Phase 3 trial suggesting a meaningful clinical impact with NurOwn. The magnitude of the treatment effect in patients with less severe disease show that NurOwn is providing a robust and clinically meaningful benefit in this population. These benefits may also extend to additional patients, as pre-specified and post hoc analyses indicate that limitations in ALSFRS-R may have led to a floor effect that masked NurOwn-induced changes in patients with severe disease. This belief is further supported by biomarker data showing that NurOwn treatment led to significant, robust, and sustained changes across multiple pathways linked to ALS progression. We believe that collectively, these results demonstrate the potential of NurOwn to address the unmet needs of ALS patients and show that the future is bright for this differentiated cellular therapy.&quot;</p><p>Study Design</p><p>The Phase 3 NurOwn trial was a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of NurOwn in 189 ALS patients. It was conducted at six centers of excellence: University of California Irvine (Dr. Namita Goyal); Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Dr. Matthew Burford, Dr. Robert Baloh); California Pacific Medical Center (Prof. Robert Miller, Dr. Jonathan Katz); Massachusetts General Hospital (Prof. Merit Cudkowicz, Dr. James Berry); University of Massachusetts Medical School (Prof. Robert Brown) and Mayo Clinic (Prof. Anthony Windebank, Dr. Nathan Staff). Potential participants with ALS were screened during an 18-week run-in period and those who were rapid progressors (defined as patients with at least a 3-point decrease in ALSFRS-R score during the run-in period) were randomized 1:1 to receive three intrathecal injections (8 weeks between each injection) of NurOwn or placebo. Participants were followed for 28 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoints of the trial were safety assessments and a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALSFRS-R score over 28 weeks, where response was defined as participants with a 1.25 points/month improvement in the post-treatment versus pre-treatment slope in ALSFRS-R at 28 weeks following the first treatment. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of patients with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

The study achieved the primary endpoint of safety and tolerability. It demonstrated a reduction of neuroinflammatory biomarkers and an increase in neuroprotective biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and consistent improvement across MS functional outcome measures, including measures of walking, upper extremity function, vision and cognition.</p><p>&quot;We were pleased that this study demonstrated safety, preliminary evidence of efficacy and relevant biomarker outcomes in patients with progressive multiple sclerosis, in an area of high unmet need,&quot; said Jeffrey Cohen, M.D., Director of Experimental Therapeutics at the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for MS and principal investigator for the trial. &quot;These results should be confirmed in a randomized placebo-controlled trial.&quot;</p><p>The study was sponsored by Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics with additional financial support for biomarker analyses from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Fast-Forward Program. It was conducted at four U.S. MS centers of excellence:</p><p>&quot;We very much appreciate the tremendous collaboration among many premier organizations, for their generous sharing of expertise, support and data, which enabled the important balance between scientific rigor and ethical treatment of progressive MS participants in the trial,&quot; said Ralph Kern, M.D., MHSc., President and Chief Medical Officer, Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics. &quot;We are holding discussions with key MS experts, and seeking guidance from the FDA to determine next steps for the development of NurOwn in progressive MS.&quot;</p><p>&quot;The National MS Society is pleased to support the biomarker portion of this study through our commercial funding program Fast Forward,&quot; said Mark Allegretta, Ph.D., Vice President, Research. &quot;We&#39;re encouraged to see evidence that the biomarker analysis showed proof of concept for detecting neuroprotection and reduced inflammation.&quot;</p><p>About the trial</p><p>The Phase 2 open-label study evaluated the safety and efficacy of intrathecal administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells in patients with primary or secondary progressive MS. The primary study endpoint was safety and tolerability. Secondary efficacy endpoints included: timed 25-foot walk (T25FW); 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT); Low Contrast Letter Acuity (LCLA); Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT); 12 item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12); as well as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood biomarkers. Clinical efficacy outcomes were compared with matched (n=48) participants in the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigation of Multiple Sclerosis (CLIMB) registry, Tanuja Chitnis, MD Brigham and Women&#39;s Hospital and the Ann Romney Center for Neurologic Diseases, and 255 patient randomized double blind placebo controlled NN-102 SPRINT-MS Study, courtesy NIH/NINDS, PI: Robert J. Fox, MD, MS, FAAN, Cleveland Clinic, CTR: NCT01982942. Baseline characteristics from these two cohorts were similar allowing for comparison of efficacy results, comparisons with SPRINT-MS were with the placebo arm of this study.</p><p>Mean age of participants was 47 years, 56% were female, and mean baseline EDSS score was 5.4. 18 participants were treated, 16 (80%) received all 3 treatments and completed the entire study; 2 study discontinuations were due to procedure-related adverse events. No deaths or treatment-related adverse events due to worsening of MS were observed.</p><p>In responder analyses, 14% and 13% of MSC-NTF treated participants showed at least a 25% improvement in T25FW and 9-HPT (combined hands) respectively, compared to 5% and 0% in matched CLIMB patients and 9% and 3% in SPRINT. Twenty-seven percent (27%) showed at least an 8-letter improvement in LCLA (binocular, 2.5% threshold) and 67% showed at least a 3-point improvement in SDMT, compared to 6% and 18% in CLIMB and 13% and 35% in SPRINT, respectively.</p><p>Mean improvements of +0.10 ft/sec in T25FW and -0.23 sec in 9-HPT (combined hands), were observed in MSC-NTF treated participants, compared to a mean worsening of -0.07 ft/sec and +0.49 sec in CLIMB and -0.06 ft/sec and +0.28 sec in SPRINT, respectively. MSC-NTF treated participants showed a mean improvement of +3.3 letters in LCLA (binocular, 2.5% threshold) and 3.8 points in SDMT, compared to a mean worsening of -1.07 letters in LCLA (binocular, 2.5% threshold) and mean improvement of +0.10 in SDMT, in CLIMB and -0.6 and -0.1 in SPRINT. In addition the MSFC-4 Composite Z-score of T25W, 9-HPT, SDMT and LCLA showed a 0.18 point improvement in MSC-NTF treated participants, while CLIMB and SPRINT showed decreases of -0.02 and -0.05.</p><p>Furthermore, 38% of treated patients showed at least a 10-point improvement in the MSWS-12 a patient reported outcome that evaluates the impact of MS on walking function, whereas this outcome was not evaluated in CLIMB or SPRINT.</p><p>CSF biomarkers obtained at 3 consecutive time points, showed increases in neuroprotective molecules (VEGF, HGF, NCAM-1, Follistatin, Fetuin-A) and decreases in neuroinflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, SDF-1, sCD27 and Osteopontin).</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important
in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have
been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce
the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver multiple
NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize
disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm
Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative
diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn ® technology platform
used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan
Drug designation status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm has completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056); this trial investigated the
safety and efficacy of repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells and was supported by a grant from the California Institute for
Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). BrainStorm completed under an investigational new drug application a Phase 2 open-label multicenter
trial (NCT03799718) of autologous MSC-NTF cells in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).</p><p>For more information, visit

We plan to fully evaluate the results of this study, review the data with the MS scientific community and hopefully continue to advance NurOwn as an important therapeutic option for patients with progressive MS.&quot;</p><p>The 28-week open-label Phase 2 clinical trial enrolled 20 primary and secondary progressive MS patients based on the 2017 revised McDonald Criteria, ages 18-65, with baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores between 3-6.5, without evidence of relapse within 6 months of enrollment, able to walk 25 feet in 60 seconds or less and were permitted to be on a stable dose of disease modifying therapy.</p><p>Of the 20 patients enrolled, 18 were treated and 16 (80%) completed the study. Two patients discontinued related to procedure-related AEs. There were no study deaths or AEs related to multiple sclerosis worsening. The mean age of study patients was 47, 56% were female, and mean baseline EDSS score was 5.4. The clinical trial compared clinical efficacy outcomes with a 48 patient matched clinical cohort from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigations in MS at the Brigham &amp; Woman&#39;s Hospital (CLIMB Study).</p><p>MS Function and Cognition measures in the top-line results included the timed 25-foot walk (T25FW); 9 hole peg test (9-HPT); Low Contrast Letter Acuity (LCLA); Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT); and the 12 item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12). Prespecified 25% improvements in the timed 25-foot walk (T25FW) and 9-hole peg test (9-HPT) from baseline to 28 weeks were observed in 14% and 13% of NurOwn treated patients, respectively, and was observed in 0% of the pre-specified matched historical controls in the CLIMB registry. Thirty eight percent of NurOwn treated patients showed at least a 10-point improvement in the MSWS-12 from baseline to week 28, a patient reported outcome that evaluates walking function. In addition, 47% of treated patients showed at least an 8-letter improvement across 28 weeks in the low contrast letter acuity test (LCLA), a visual function test, and 67% showed at least a 3-point improvement in the symbol digit modality test (SDMT), a measure of cognitive processing.</p><p>In addition, NurOwn treated patients showed a mean improvement from baseline of 10% in T25FW and a 4.8% improvement from baseline on the 9-HPT dominant hand, compared to 1.8% and 1.4% worsening respectively in matched historical controls from the CLIMB registry. Also, NurOwn treated patients showed a 6% improvement from baseline in MSWS-12. All results reported are based on observed data.</p><p>Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers were obtained at 3 consecutive time points, just prior to each intrathecal administration of NurOwn. We observed increases in neuroprotective molecules (VEGF, HGF) and decreases in neuroinflammatory biomarkers (MCP-1, SDF-1 and osteopontin). Additional secondary efficacy data, and detailed CSF and blood biomarker analyses are currently underway and will be reported at upcoming scientific meetings.</p><p>&quot;These positive results indicate the potential of MSC-NTF cells to lessen inflammatory mechanisms, promote repair, and restore function in progressive MS, a condition for which there is great need for effective therapy,&quot; said Jeffrey Cohen, M.D, Director of Experimental Therapeutics, Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for MS. Dr. Cohen reports no disclosures related to this study.</p><p>&quot;We applaud Brainstorm for completion of this first in human trial of NurOwn in progressive MS, and are encouraged by the early indication of safety and effectiveness,&quot; said Mark Allegretta, PhD, Vice President of Research at the National MS Society. &quot;We&#39;re hopeful that our collaboration will uncover insights into clinically relevant biomarkers that may predict a treatment effect in progressive MS.&quot;</p><p>Ralph Kern MD MHSc, President and Chief Medical Officer of Brainstorm stated, &quot;The unprecedented results of this phase 2 clinical trial provide strong support for the potential of NurOwn to address the unmet clinical and biological need in progressive MS. Currently, few therapeutic options exist to address the relentless clinical progression and disability accumulation, ongoing compartmentalized and intrathecal CNS inflammation, and progressive loss of neural function in progressive MS. We plan to present a detailed summary of the study outcomes at an upcoming scientific meeting, publish our findings in a peer-reviewed journal and consider how best to advance NurOwn in progressive MS.&quot;</p><p>Stacy Lindborg Ph.D., EVP and Head of Global Clinical Research added, &quot;We are pleased by the consistency of treatment effect observed across these functional and cognitive measures in patients who were either on standard of care or had prior treatment with existing disease modifying treatments. Our goal was to achieve proof of concept in progressive MS through an efficient design, which we have successfully delivered. We are also pleased to see accumulating evidence and confirmation of NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action through CSF biomarker data in patients with multiple neurodegenerative diseases.&quot;</p><p>Study Design</p><p>The Phase 2 NurOwn® trial was a multi-center, open-label trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NurOwn® in 20 progressive MS patients at four MS centers of excellence: Cleveland Clinic, Mount Sinai School of Medicine,Stanford, and USC. Progressive MS patients were screened, provided informed consent and following a 10-week run-in period received three intrathecal administrations of 100-125 million autologous MSC-NTF cells at 2-month intervals. Patients were followed for 28 weeks after the first treatment. The primary endpoint of the trial was safety. Secondary endpoints included functional and cognitive measures and modulation of CSF and blood biomarkers (neurotrophic factors, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory biomarkers). Outcomes assessed included: Timed 25-Foot Walking Speed (T25FW); Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS); 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT); Low Contrast Letter Acuity (LCLA); Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT); the 12 item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12); average daily step count (using a wearable sensor); and quantitative MRI measures. For more information, refer to ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03799718. A grant for $495k was received from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, through its Fast Forward program, to support the Phase 2 open-label, multicenter clinical trial of repeated intrathecal administration of NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF cells) in participants with progressive Multiple Sclerosis.</p><p>About progressive MS</p><p>Progressive MS is a chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 1 million individuals in the U.S. and 2.5 million individuals worldwide.

We also would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all ALS patients and their families that were involved in this clinical research program. The company will continue to build on the strength of its wonderful, professional and dedicated team while being well funded at a current position of over $40M in cash. We will soon announce our next flagship product and program for other diseases with unmet needs.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Many of us with longstanding experience in ALS therapy development agree that there was evidence of benefit from NurOwn cell therapy and hope that there will be an opportunity for further assessment of this modality in ALS,&quot; said Robert Brown, DPhil, MD, Director of the Program in Neurotherapeutics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.</p><p>&quot;ALS is a devastating disease with worse outcomes than most forms of cancer,&quot; said Anthony Windebank MD, Jean and Judith Pape Adams Professor of Neuroscience, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science. &quot;The clear signal in this trial that some patients with ALS respond to treatment with NurOwn is a light at the end of the tunnel. The careful study of biomarkers associated with response will help lead us forward towards a broadly effective therapy. The patients and their families who have brought us to this point are true heroes.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I share my profound gratitude and thanks to the patients and families that participated in this phase 3 trial and all the teams at the six sites,&quot; said Merit Cudkowicz MD, Chief of Neurology and Director of the Healey &amp; AMG Center for ALS at Mass General Hospital, and the Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School. &quot;We learned a lot about the efficacy and safety of NurOwn in people with ALS in this well conducted trial. We also learned some of the challenges with the use of ALSFRS-R at the lower end of the scale. Additional discussions with the community and sharing all the data in a peer reviewed publication are critical next steps.&quot;</p><p>&quot;We will complete all ALS phase 3 study analyses to support scientific communication of the phase 3 data, including a peer-reviewed manuscript,&quot; said Ralph Kern MD MHSc, President and Chief Medical Officer Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics. &quot;The results of the phase 3 clinical trial are very important, and we are confident that the analysis of key ALS disease biomarkers will contribute to our understanding of ALS.

While there are currently no effective therapies to prevent or reverse ARDS, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have been suggested as a potential novel treatment option due to their ability to penetrate deep into tissues and efficiently deliver immunomodulatory molecules.</p><p>Results from the recently published study showed that intratracheal administration of NurOwn® derived exosomes led to a statistically significant reduction in lung disease severity score (p &lt; 0.05; based on criteria set forth by the American Thoracic Society Documents: Matute-Bello et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 44;725-738, 2011) and improvements in several additional clinically relevant lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS markers such as lung function, fibrin presence, neutrophil accumulation, cytokine expression, and blood oxygenation levels. Notably, these improvements were significantly superior to those observed following administration of naïve MSC-derived exosomes.</p><p>&quot;These exciting preclinical data suggest that NurOwn® derived exosomes have the potential to treat COVID-19-induced ARDS or other severe respiratory complications, and that they are more effective than exosomes isolated from naïve MSCs at combatting the various symptoms of the syndrome,&quot; said Dr. Revital Aricha, Vice President of Research &amp; Development at BrainStorm. &quot;This publication in a highly regarded journal provides important validation for the scientific advances and significance of BrainStorm&#39;s preclinical research programs, including on our exosome-based technology platform.&quot;</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Brainstorm&#39;s Chief Executive Officer added, &quot;While our primary focus is on advancing NurOwn® towards regulatory approval in ALS, we continue to evaluate the potential of our exosome-based platform to address unmet medical needs.

The many scientific and corporate milestones we have achieved this year are a testament to the talent and unwavering commitment of our employees, partners and investigators. I deeply appreciate the work they&#39;ve done, and their ability to execute in this challenging COVID environment. I want to thank especially the patients and caregivers, who showed a steadfast dedication to our clinical trials despite the pandemic. We remain committed to bringing NurOwn® to patients with neurodegenerative diseases as a much-needed treatment option. In addition, we are expanding our pipeline with the application of our exosome platform technology to include new indications that have significant unmet medical need.</p><p>BrainStorm&#39;s most significant clinical milestone of 2020 was the timely completion of the NurOwn® Phase 3 ALS clinical trial, despite the challenges of COVID-19. We believe the totality of evidence that we have generated are supportive of NurOwn&#39;s clinical benefit. We are diligently pursuing next steps, including active discussions with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to identify regulatory pathways that may support NurOwn&#39;s approval in ALS.</p><p>While we did not demonstrate statistical significance in the primary efficacy endpoint in the full study population, pre-specified analyses suggest that NurOwn® has a clinically meaningful treatment effect. For example, in a pre-specified participant subgroup with early disease and preserved function based on the ALSFRS-R baseline score, NurOwn® showed the expected numerically superior treatment response compared to placebo. Furthermore, phase 3 cerebrospinal fluid neurodegenerative and inflammatory biomarkers were consistently modified by NurOwn treatment, supporting NurOwn&#39;s proposed mechanism of action in ALS. We are thankful to the FDA for prioritizing our IND, as we and the Agency clearly understand the urgency needed for ALS patients.</p><p>Following the completion of our Phase 3 ALS clinical trial, we recently initiated an Expanded Access Program (EAP) to provide NurOwn® treatment for patients who completed the Phase 3 trial and meet specific eligibility requirements. This EAP was developed in partnership with the FDA and will take place at the six clinical centers of excellence that participated in the trial. Initiating the EAP immediately after the Phase 3 trial&#39;s completion speaks to the promise of NurOwn&#39;s phase 3 clinical data, the urgent unmet medical need for ALS patients and our commitment to patients. The ALS physician, advocacy and patient community feedback on the EAP has been extremely positive.</p><p>In parallel with the clinical programs to advance NurOwn, Brainstorm is also working to establish the manufacturing capability necessary for a commercial ramp up. To this effect, we engaged in strategic partnerships to expand our Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) capabilities. Our tech transfer to Catalent has already been initiated and will allow for continuous supply of NurOwn® for future clinical trials and initial commercialization. Our work with Rapid Reshore &amp; Development, to help BrainStorm establish in-house manufacturing capabilities, will accelerate once a regulatory pathway is clear. These agreements will help to ensure an ongoing cGMP clinical supply of NurOwn® and will be integral to ensuring rapid access for patients following a potential regulatory approval. We also signed a lease agreement with the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) in Tel Aviv, Israel, to produce NurOwn® in three state-of-the-art cleanrooms. The new facility will significantly increase our manufacturing capacity, positioning us to strategically enter the European and Israeli markets. In addition to our clinical data review, we are also in active dialog with the FDA around this component of NurOwn&#39;s regulatory review. I am happy to share with you that we have recently had a successful meeting with the FDA regarding Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC). We will provide an update when the minutes are finalized.</p><p>We have made excellent progress in our NurOwn clinical program in progressive MS, despite some delays in clinical trial enrollment due to COVID-19 healthcare restrictions. The next milestone will be the generation of top line results from our fully dosed Phase 2 trial which we expect by the end of first quarter 2021. Detailed analyses of the full study clinical and biomarker dataset can help demonstrate the potential of NurOwn technology in progressive MS. The broader objective for NurOwn is to continue to grow a strong body of evidence for NurOwn in ALS, MS in addition to other neurodegenerative diseases.</p><p>As part of our strategy to advance the NurOwn technology and expand our pipeline, we announced earlier this year a new clinical program in Alzheimer&#39;s disease. NurOwn has the capability to simultaneously target multiple relevant Alzheimer&#39;s disease pathways and bring a comprehensive approach that addresses both neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. This is a fundamentally different approach to many previous Alzheimer&#39;s therapies which have focused on a single target such as tau or beta-amyloid. We intend to conduct a 52-week, Phase 2 open-label, proof-of-concept clinical trial to evaluate NurOwn in 40 participants with prodromal to mild Alzheimer&#39;s disease. The trial will be conducted at the Brain Research Centers affiliated with the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), and several other clinical trial sites in the Netherlands and France.</p><p>We were also pleased to announce a new program utilizing our exosome-based platform-technology for the treatment of severe COVID-19 infection and released proof-of-concept results from a pre-clinical study. In the pre-clinical study in mice, we demonstrated that intratracheal administration of exosomes extracted from Mesenchymal stem cells resulted in a statistically significant improvement in multiple lung parameters. The results from this study have been accepted and will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal in 2021. We are actively evaluating next steps to determine the best path forward with our exosome platform.</p><p>We made important additions to the senior management team during 2020 including Dr. David Setboun as Chief Operating Officer and Dr. Stacy Lindborg as Head of Global Clinical Research. Dr. Setboun has extensive experience in the biopharmaceutical industry having held key leadership roles in commercial development and product launches at Biogen. Dr. Lindborg is an experienced healthcare executive and globally recognized medical statistician with over two decades of multinational experience in R&amp;D, regulatory drug approvals, strategy development, analytics and big data at Lilly and Biogen. Prof. Jacob Frenkel joined us as Chairman of our Board earlier in the year. These appointments, as well as the other recent hires, are part of a strategic initiative to build a senior team with proven commercial capabilities, as we transition to potentially becoming a commercial organization.</p><p>Looking ahead to 2021, our main focus areas are to reach agreement with FDA on a path for regulatory approval NurOwn® in ALS, to generate top-line results for our Phase 2 MS study in the first quarter, to advance our Phase 2 Alzheimer&#39;s disease trial, to expand our exosome-based technology, and to further develop our cellular technology and manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure.</p><p>In 2021, we will leverage our strong financial position with over $40 million in cash and our experienced team will continue to be inspired by the ALS patients to bring our innovative treatment option forward while delivering value to our shareholders.</p><p>I would like to thank you for your continued support.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Chaim LebovitsChief Executive OfficerBrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>Safe-Harbor Statement</p><p>Statements in this announcement other than historical data and information, including statements regarding future clinical trial enrollment and data, constitute &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.&#39;s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Initially, patients less severely affected by ALS, as measured by the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R), will be the first to receive treatment. This approach is informed by recently announced topline data from the Company&#39;s Phase 3 clinical trial. According to the FDA, EAPs, alternatively known as &quot;compassionate use&quot; programs, provide a pathway for patients to receive an investigational medicine for a serious disease or condition outside of a clinical trial.</p><p>&quot;This expanded access program is an appropriate and welcome next step in following up the exciting results of the Phase 3 study; it is widely anticipated and deeply appreciated by our ALS patients,&quot; said Robert Brown, MD DPhil, Leo P. and Theresa M. LaChance Chair in Medical Research, and chair, department of neurology, University of Massachusetts Medical School and UMass Memorial Medical Center, and one of the Principal Investigators in the NurOwn® Phase 3 study.</p><p>Through the newly announced EAP, the six clinical centers of excellence participating in the Phase 3 NurOwn® trial will each have the opportunity to treat ALS patients who completed the trial. These six centers are: University of California, Irvine; Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; California Pacific Medical Center; Massachusetts General Hospital; University of Massachusetts Medical School; and Mayo Clinic. EAP treatment of ALS patients who have completed the Phase 3 clinical trial will not interfere with data or regulatory timelines. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute will initially manufacture the investigational therapy, assisted by BrainStorm personnel who will be on-site.</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, CEO of BrainStorm, commented, &quot;We are pleased to have the opportunity to treat additional patients with NurOwn through this Expanded Access Program, which was strongly advocated for by members of the ALS advocacy community. We recognize the urgency with which people with ALS want and need access to new potential treatments. This EAP is an important next step to providing an immediate option for some patients. We remain committed to rapidly advancing NurOwn through clinical development and regulatory review in the hope that the greatest number of people living with ALS may benefit.&quot;</p><p>Brian Wallach, person living with ALS and Co-Founder of I AM ALS, added, &quot;The entire ALS community has worked tirelessly to find pathways to access promising investigational therapies because ALS waits for no one. The launch of this EAP represents an important step forward and precedent for realizing the vision of access to promising investigational therapies for all, and I am thankful to see it come to fruition.&quot;</p><p>Nancy Frates, ALS Advocate and TED Speaker remarked, &quot;Recently our family took pause as we reflected on 1 year of living without our Peter. Continuing my promise to my son, I remain committed to his mission to #StrikeOutALS for the ALS patients of today and tomorrow. What has always been clear, is the importance of the community to work together to advance all legitimate potential treatments. I support the efforts of Brainstorm, as they take this important step toward realizing the potential promise of NurOwn in ALS. This Expanded Access Program provides real hope.&quot;</p><p>&quot;On behalf of the largest ALS community in the United States, which includes three of the NurOwn clinical trial sites, the Golden West Chapter is extremely grateful to Brainstorm and our clinic partners for establishing and executing an Early Access Program for those who participated in the Phase 3 trial of NurOwn. Enabling early access, while the data review continues, is an extraordinary gesture of support and compassion for those living with ALS, and reflects an understanding of the ALS community&#39;s urgent need for an effective therapy. I applaud Brainstorm for taking this important step, and I look forward to learning the results of their full data analysis,&quot; said Fred Fisher, President &amp; CEO of Golden West Chapter of The ALS Association.</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

Potential participants with ALS were screened during an 18-week run-in period and those who were rapid progressors (defined as patients with at least a 3 point decrease in ALSFRS-R score during the run-in period) were randomized 1:1 to receive three intrathecal injections (8 weeks between each injection) of NurOwn® or placebo. Participants were followed for 28 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoints of the trial were safety assessments and a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALSFRS-R score over 28 weeks, where response was defined as participants with a ³ 1.25 points/month improvement in the post-treatment versus pre-treatment slope in ALSFRS-R at 28 weeks following the first treatment. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of patients with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

These estimates were based on available historical clinical trial data and the NurOwn Phase 2 data. The primary endpoint was achieved in 34.7% of NurOwn participants versus 27.7% for Placebo (p=0.453). Therefore, the trial met the expected 35% NurOwn treatment group efficacy response assumption, however the high placebo response exceeded placebo responses observed in contemporary ALS trials. The secondary efficacy endpoint measuring average change in ALSFRS-R total score from baseline to Week 28, was -5.52 with NurOwn versus -5.88 on Placebo, a difference of 0.36 (p= 0.693).</p><p>In an important, pre-specified subgroup with early disease based on ALSFRS-R baseline score ³ 35, NurOwn demonstrated a clinically meaningful treatment response across the primary and key secondary endpoints and remained consistent with our pre-trial, data-derived assumptions. In this subgroup, there were 34.6% responders who met the primary endpoint definition on NurOwn and 15.6% on Placebo (p=0.288), and the average change from baseline to week 28 in ALSFRS-R total score was -1.77 on NurOwn and -3.78 on Placebo (p=0.198), an improvement of 2.01 ALSFRS-R points favoring NurOwn.</p><p>Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker analyses confirmed that treatment with NurOwn resulted in a statistically significant increase of neurotrophic factors and reduction in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory biomarkers that was not observed in the placebo treatment group. We also carried out pre-specified statistical modeling designed to predict clinical response with high sensitivity and specificity based on ALS biomarkers and ALS Function and confirmed that NurOwn treatment outcomes could be predicted by baseline ALS function as well as key CSF neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory biomarkers.</p><p>Dr. Merit Cudkowicz, one of the Principal Investigators of this trial and the Julianne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and the Director of the Healey Center for ALS and Chair of Neurology at Mass General Hospital said, &quot;We found a clinically meaningful response to NurOwn in a pre-specified group of patients (greater than or equal to 35 ALSFRS-R at baseline). A change in pre- to post- treatment slope of 1.25 or more is substantial and clinically important. Given the heterogeneity of ALS, it is not surprising that measurement of treatment effect may be influenced by disease severity including the behavior of disease progression rates at the lower end of the scale. It is important to fully explore this finding. In addition, NurOwn was observed to have its clear intended biological effects with important changes in the pre-specified disease and drug related biomarkers.&quot;</p><p>&quot;This clinical trial included a more severely affected ALS population compared to other recent ALS clinical trials. We identified a superior treatment response in a pre-specified subgroup of patients with less advanced disease. We are in active discussions with the FDA who have expressed their eagerness to review the data and have committed to prioritize review of this data. The FDA will review the data to see if there is a path forward to support approval&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;We would like to sincerely thank the patients, their families and caregivers, investigators and staff who participated in this study, as their dedication and hard work allowed for the study&#39;s on-time completion despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I also want to thank the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) for their enormous support to conduct this trial.&quot;</p><p>&quot;The findings from this clinical trial demonstrated that NurOwn treatment was associated with a clinically meaningful treatment response and consistent biomarker effects in known ALS disease pathways and that the ability of the clinical trial to demonstrate treatment effects compared to placebo are influenced by baseline disease status, as revealed through ALS function and key biomarkers. We are committed to advancing discussions with the FDA to identify regulatory pathways that may support NurOwn in ALS,&quot; commented Ralph Kern MD MHSc, President and CMO of Brainstorm. &quot;In addition to planned scientific engagements, biosamples from this study will be shared through the NEALS biorepository to enable additional scientific discovery efforts. We want to thank our partners, I AM ALS, and ALSA, who kindly supported the biomarker study&quot;.</p><p>&quot;The consistency of effect observed across NurOwn treated patients, including within pre-specified subgroups, highlights an important treatment effect in a fatal disease with very limited treatment options. The placebo response observed in this trial is unprecedented and the ability to show treatment benefit in this context provides evidence of the clinical value of NurOwn. The robust changes in biomarkers of Neurodegeneration, including NfL and MCP-1, which allows identification of likely responders prior to treatment is encouraging&quot;, said Stacy Lindborg PhD, EVP and Head of Global Clinical Research. &quot;More detailed analyses will be shared at upcoming scientific conferences and in subsequent publications. We are committed to learning as much as we can from this trial and to partner with the ALS community to progress our collective understanding of ALS, which in turn will help us to continue to bring forward new treatments for this unrelenting disease.&quot;</p><p>Study Design</p><p>The Phase 3 NurOwn® trial was a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NurOwn® in 189 ALS patients.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug status designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm has completed the Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS</p><p>(NCT03280056); this trial investigated repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells at six U.S. sites supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). The pivotal study was intended to support a filing for FDA approval of autologous MSC-NTF cells in ALS and discussion of potential regulatory pathways for approval are planned with the U.S. FDA. BrainStorm is also conducting an FDA-cleared Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).

for BrainStorm will be the upcoming top-line data readout for the NurOwn® Phase 3 trial in ALS, expected by the end of November.
A successful outcome will set us on the path to filing a Biologic License Application (BLA) for what we believe will be a valuable
new treatment for ALS,” said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics. “In parallel
to our preparations for upcoming data read out, we are very busy planning and executing on other pre-BLA activities. On the management
front, we appointed William K. White and Dr. Anthony Waclawski, adding valuable commercial and regulatory expertise to our leadership
team. This expertise will be crucial as we work towards obtaining regulatory approval for NurOwn and ensuring that, if approved,
it will be readily accessible to ALS patients in need of new treatment options for this devastating disease.”</p><p>NurOwn has an innovative mechanism of action

(autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in
neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that
have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions
that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple
NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or
stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm has fully enrolled a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment
of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm also recently received acceptance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
to initiate a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and completed enrollment in August
2020.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm

To test this hypothesis, we are comparing the rate of patient level decline in ALS disease as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale between the pre-treatment period to the rate of decline observed after the initiation of treatment. Such an analysis allows us to compare the magnitude of change in disease progression resulting from NurOwn® and placebo treatments while accounting for important variable factors known to influence disease progression. We look forward to sharing the results of this analysis later this year.&quot;</p><p>The poster will be discussed by Dr. Lindborg during a live session at NEALS.

The primary endpoint of the trial is a responder analysis of the rate of decline in ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) score over 28 weeks. Secondary endpoints include safety, the percentage of patients with disease progression halted or improved, ALSFRS-R change from baseline, combined analysis of function and survival, slow vital capacity, tracheostomy-free survival, overall survival and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker measurements.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented culture conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug status designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm has fully enrolled and dosed a phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056); this trial is investigating repeat-intrathecal administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells at six U.S. sites supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). The pivotal study is intended to support a BLA filing for FDA approval of autologous MSC-NTF cells in ALS. BrainStorm is also conducting an FDA-approved phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) that is now fully enrolled (NCT03799718).</p><p>For more information, visit the company&#39;s website at www.brainstorm-cell.com.</p><p>Safe-Harbor Statement Statements in this announcement other than historical data and information, including statements regarding future clinical trial enrollment and data, constitute &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.&#39;s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We are grateful to the joint ACTRIMS/ECTRIMS abstract committee for allowing us to present these data, which we hope will facilitate analysis of clinical trial outcomes that specifically evaluate functional improvements in progressive MS.&quot;</p><p>Dr. Chitnis and colleagues evaluated MRI features of 48 participants in the SysteMS substudy of the CLIMB study, a nested cohort selected to match the inclusion criteria of the Phase 2 NurOwn trial in progressive MS (NCT03799718). The participants underwent brain and lesion volumetric analysis, as well as mean upper cervical cord (MUCCA) analysis, 12-24 months following baseline 3 Tesla MRI. These analyses generated 34 MRI data measures performed by ICOMETRIX, which the investigators compared in patients with improved function versus those with worsening or stable function, as measured by 9-hole peg test (9HPT) or timed-25-foot-walk (T25FW) scores, two well-established measures of function in progressive MS.</p><p>Seventeen patients had improved 9HPT scores from baseline to 12-24 months later, compared to 29 with worsened or stable 9HPT scores over that same period. Whole brain volume at baseline (improved 9HPT: 1505±51 vs. stable-worse 9HPT: 1471±62; p=0.069; t-test) and follow-up (improved: 1501.555±52.039 vs. stable-worse: 1461.304±63.562; p=0.03; t-test) differed between the two 9HPT groups, as did gray matter volume at follow-up (improved 1505.059 ±50.961 vs. stable-worse 865.57±41.352; p=0.063: t-test). Eighteen patients had an improved T25FW score, compared to 27 whose score worsened or remained stable over the 12-month period. Deep white matter FLAIR/T2 lesion volume at baseline (improved: 0.43±0.507 vs. stable-worse: 0.827±0.561; p=0.03; t-test) and follow-up (improved: 0.429±0.503 vs. stable-worse: 0.864±0.603; p=0.02) differed between the two T25FW groups. The investigators did not observe any association between MUCCA and functional improvement measures.</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm stated &quot;The important MRI correlations with measures of functional improvement in this matched natural history cohort will provide helpful context as we evaluate the clinical outcomes from our ongoing Phase 2 trial of NurOwn in patients with progressive MS and hopefully bring us a step closer to offering a new treatment option to individuals living with this devastating disease.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

Brainstorm has demonstrated that a single administration of NurOwn increased circulating T regulatory cells in a phase 2a open label study and reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory biomarkers in a phase 2 randomized clinical study. To explore the link between these important biomarker observations, Brainstorm conducted a series of preclinical experiments in order to evaluate the potential of NurOwn to induce T and B regulatory cells and IL-10 secretion and confirm their immunomodulatory effects. Decreased T and B regulatory function appears to impact disease progression in ALS and other neuroinflammatory diseases. T and B cell secreted IL-10 may enhance microglia and cytokine networks and have shown therapeutic potential in ALS and neuroinflammatory preclinical models.</p><p>In the preclinical experiments, a significant (p&lt;0.0001) decrease of interferon-g secretion by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in the presence of NurOwn® was demonstrated. When co-cultured with PBMC, NurOwn® induced CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells (p &lt; 0.001). When cocultured with B cells, NurOwn induced CD24hiCD38hi B regulatory cells, and increased IL-10 secretion (p &lt; 0.001).</p><p>&quot;These preclinical observations extend the understanding of immunomodulatory effects of NurOwn on CSF inflammatory biomarkers demonstrated in the US phase 2 randomized clinical trial by providing specific mechanisms by which NurOwn may exert its beneficial effects on these important cytokine pathways,&quot; said Ralph Kern MD MHSc, President and Chief Medical Officer of Brainstorm.</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Brainstorm Chief Executive Officer added, &quot;We continue to expand our scientific knowledge of NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action through preclinical and clinical research. Our goal is to efficiently bring practical solutions to patients in need, through innovative science, completion of the phase 3 ALS clinical trial and advancement of clinical programs in progressive MS and Alzheimer&#39;s disease.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®The NurOwn technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm has fully enrolled a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm also recently received acceptance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and initiated enrollment in March 2019.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

Currently, there is no effective treatment strategy to prevent or reverse ARDS, a type of respiratory failure associated with widespread inflammation and lung damage mediated by dysregulated cytokine production.</p><p>Exosomes are nano-sized (30–150 nm) vesicles secreted by all cell types. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived exosomes have been suggested as a potential treatment for ARDS due to their ability to penetrate into deep tissues, effectively deliver bioactive molecules to target cells and mitigate the inflammatory response. MSC exosomes may be delivered intravenously or directly into the lung via intratracheal administration.</p><p>Results from a study in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS showed that intratracheal administration of NurOwn® (MSC-NTF cells) derived exosomes resulted in a statistically significant improvement in multiple lung parameters. These included the clinically relevant factors: functional lung recovery, reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines and most importantly, attenuation of lung damage. Moreover, MSC-NTF cell derived exosomes exhibited a superior effect when compared to treatment with exosomes derived from naïve mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from the same donor. BrainStorm intends to accelerate submission of these important results to peer-reviewed medical journals.</p><p>The preclinical experiment demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in lung disease severity score (p=0.03) (based on the American Thoracic Society Documents, 2011 ; Matute-Bello et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 44;725-738, 2011). and vastly improved lung histology following intratracheal administration of NurOwn (MSC-NTF) exosomes compared to MSC exosomes.</p><p>To-date, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has focused its clinical development on the application of the NurOwn technology platform to neurodegenerative disorders. Given these important pre-clinical results, the Company will revisit its strategy to determine if and when to proceed with a clinical trial in ARDS.</p><p>Dr. Revital Aricha, VP of Research &amp; Development at BrainStorm, will discuss the results on the company’s second quarter 2020 earnings call and corporate update, scheduled for Wednesday August 5th, at 8.00am ET.</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn technology platform (autologous Mesenchymal stem cells, MSC-NTF cells) represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

As we move towards completion of our pivotal Phase 3 ALS study, the newly announced Alzheimer&#39;s program, combined with our ongoing progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) program, will continue to drive the advancement of the NurOwn platform. Through the completion of our clinical trial programs, BrainStorm hopes to advance NurOwn to address unmet needs across a broad population of patients with neurodegenerative disease.&quot;</p><p>The lead investigators of the trial are two world renowned clinical experts in Alzheimer&#39;s disease, Philip Scheltens, M.D., Ph.D., and Bruno Dubois, M.D., Ph.D. Prof. Scheltens, the principal investigator (PI) of the study, is Professor of Cognitive Neurology and Director of the Alzheimer Centre at Amsterdam University Medical Centers. He has extensive experience as PI of many international clinical trials in this field. Prof. Dubois, the French national coordinator of the study, is Professor of Neurology at the Neurological Institute of the Salpétrière University Hospital. He is President of the Scientific Committee of France-Alzheimer and of IFRAD (International Fund Raising for Alzheimer&#39;s Disease) as well as a member of the European Alzheimer Disease Consortium (EADC). Profs. Scheltens and Dubois will discuss the proposed clinical trial during an upcoming Key Opinion Leader (KOL) webinar and call hosted by BrainStorm on July 8, 2020 at 8:15 AM ET.</p><p>Speaking on the trial Prof. Scheltens stated, &quot;We are very eager to evaluate the efficacy of NurOwn in the treatment of Alzheimer&#39;s disease, because of its unique mechanism of action. While many previous Alzheimer&#39;s therapies have focused on a single target such as tau or beta-amyloid, NurOwn has the capability to simultaneously target multiple relevant biological pathways and bring a comprehensive approach to this multifactorial disease. Importantly, NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action may also allow the therapy to enable synergistic combinations with anti-tau or anti-beta-amyloid treatments, further underscoring its potential to address critical unmet needs in Alzheimer&#39;s disease.&quot;</p><p>Prof. Dubois added, &quot;In such a complex disease, addressing inflammation and neuro-protection is an innovative and very interesting approach. It is a first in the world for this technology and Brainstorm is leveraging encouraging results from the Phase 2 study in ALS.&quot;</p><p>Ralph Kern, M.D., MHSc., President and Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm, noted, &quot;In the proposed Phase 2 clinical trial, our goal is to confirm that the potential shown by NurOwn in our lead ALS program may be extended to patients with Alzheimer&#39;s disease. We now have a compelling set of biomarker data supporting NurOwn&#39;s mechanism of action, including important pharmacodynamic changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory mediators. Additionally, our innovative biomarker-driven precision medicine approach, which will focus on patients with early-stage disease and pre-defined levels of CSF tau and beta-amyloid proteins, may greatly facilitate Phase 2 clinical trial success.&quot;</p><p>Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Head of Global Clinical Research at BrainStorm, said, &quot;We are excited to introduce a novel approach to Alzheimer&#39;s disease that targets both inflammation as well as neurotrophic factors. Given the acute need for vastly different treatment methodologies, we believe our broad targeting approach, combined with robust effects on CSF measures and a favorable safety profile, allows us to go forward with confidence. Additionally, compiling NurOwn safety data across diseases will allow us to enhance patient safety for each trial.&quot;</p><p>Phase 2 Trial to be Conducted at Leading Alzheimer&#39;s disease Centers in Europe</p><p>BrainStorm plans to conduct a 52-week, Phase 2 open-label, proof-of-concept clinical trial to evaluate NurOwn in 40 participants with prodromal to mild Alzheimer&#39;s disease. Study participants will receive three intrathecal NurOwn doses 8 weeks apart. In addition to meeting well-defined clinical criteria for prodromal to mild Alzheimer&#39;s disease, participants must also meet biomarker defined criteria for Alzheimer&#39;s disease. The clinical trial will evaluate safety and pharmacodynamics of NurOwn, including effects on inflammatory, Alzheimer&#39;s-specific, neurodegenerative, and synaptic biomarkers, as well as a range of key clinical measures of cognition and function. The clinical trial will be conducted at the Brain research Center affiliated with the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), and several other clinical trial sites in the Netherlands and France.</p><p>NurOwn is protected by patents granted in the United States, Europe, Israel, and elsewhere covering treatments of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer&#39;s disease. These include European patent no. EP2620493B1 (Mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of CNS diseases).</p><p>Key Opinion Leader Call and Webcast</p><p>BrainStorm will host a call and webinar featuring Philip Scheltens, M.D., Ph.D., and Bruno Dubois, M.D., Ph.D., on July 8, 2020 at 8:15 AM ET.

The decision to continue the trial is also shared by the ALS community and the FDA. The clinical trial sites are at University of California, Irvine; Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; California Pacific Medical Center; Massachusetts General Hospital; University of Massachusetts Medical School and Mayo Clinic. Importantly, the trial&#39;s primary outcome measurement (the ALSFRS-R rating scale) is fully validated for telephonic administration, which allowed non-treatment visits to be conducted remotely and to be aligned with protocol assessment timelines. This allows for ongoing high-quality data collection while prioritizing safety of patients and clinical trial site staff.</p><p>&quot;Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, patient dosing remains on track with all participants having received at least 2 treatments of NurOwn®,&quot; said Dr. Merit Cudkowicz, the Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and the Director of the Healey Center for ALS and Chair of Neurology at Mass General Hospital. &quot;Moving forward, only 20 patients are still to be dosed for the third and final time, and these final treatments remain on schedule.&quot;</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, CEO of BrainStorm stated, &quot;BrainStorm made the decision to continue our Phase 3 trial and we have been strongly supported by our partners in the clinical community. Quick planning and coordination across our clinical sites and the support and direction of the U.S. FDA enabled our Phase 3 investigational trial for NurOwn to advance, with final dosing by July 2020. While numerous clinical trials in the U.S. have been interrupted or completely shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic, trial participants, their families, and the investigational teams remain committed to the trial&#39;s advancement. I am extremely proud and grateful for the outstanding work and commitment of so many, and particularly by these trial participants and their caregivers. We hope to soon reward their commitment by bringing forward a much-needed treatment for ALS.&quot;</p><p>Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc, BrainStorm&#39;s President and Chief Medical Officer said, &quot;We are very fortunate to have developed an outstanding team of partners who are committed to BrainStorm&#39;s investigational therapy NurOwn and share its promise in ALS research. Our primary concerns will always be the overall health and safety of trial participants and the scientific integrity of the trial. Fortunately, ALSFRS-R, the primary outcome measurement of the Phase 3 trial, is validated by phone and allows for the collection of quality data with minimal risk of COVID-19 exposure. This, along with the collective efforts of so many of our employees, partners, and patients, has enabled us to remain on track for study completion as planned in the fourth quarter of this year.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

This has been the most significant factor in my decision to join Brainstorm,&quot; said Dr. Stacy R Lindborg. &quot;I have been impressed by the leadership, depth of talent and aspiration of goals at BrainStorm. I look forward to seeing NurOwn and the Company&#39;s pipeline advance across all stages of clinical development.&quot;</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm, commented, &quot;Stacy&#39;s experience in launching and commercializing highly visible top selling neuroscience- based pharmaceutical products and her expertise in product launches from NDA to post-approval marketing studies make her exceptionally well qualified to join the BrainStorm leadership team at this pivotal time in the Company&#39;s history. She has played leadership roles in clinical trial design and regulatory interactions for development stage and marketed products in neuroscience, immunology and orphan diseases. Her experience includes global organization design and development at two of the world&#39;s leading neurology companies, including substantial corporate builds. Without question Dr. Lindborg, will significantly enhance our global commercialization and regulatory strategy, as we work to bring better treatment options to patients afflicted with neurodegenerative diseases. We look forward to the strategic contributions and insights she will being to BrainStorm.&quot;</p><p>Prior to her roles in Biogen, from 1996 to 2012, Dr. Lindborg held positions of increasing responsibility at Eli Lilly and Company. As Head of R&amp;D strategy, she was responsible for characterizing the productivity of the portfolio and driving key R&amp;D strategy projects including the annual R&amp;D Long-Range Plan. In this role, she created seminal insights into R&amp;D productivity by connecting individual drug program-based development decisions to portfolio risk practices, driving fundamental R&amp;D decisions to increase number of drug launches. Additionally, she was Leader of Zyprexa Product Management in which she was responsible for R&amp;D, Commercial and Manufacturing plans. She was accountable for driving market share through product differentiation, global registration and launching of an injectable form of Zyprexa, working through regulatory manufacturing inspections and 483 citations. Zyprexa had peak sales of $4.7 billion.</p><p>Dr. Lindborg holds a Ph.D. in statistics from Baylor University. She has been active in professional organizations across her career, holding numerous positions within the American Statistical Association and International Biometric Society, having been elected Fellow of the association in 2008. She serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of biotechnology and technology companies and on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm has fully enrolled a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Participants in the fully enrolled clinical trial in our 6 United States medical centers of excellence continue to receive their scheduled treatments with the necessary safety protocols in place,” stated Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics. He added, “We were able to advance our global footprint by signing an agreement with a senior, leading EMEA (European Medicines Agency) regulatory consultant who will advise us as we approach EMEA Regulatory Institutions to present data for NurOwn in ALS, and the advancement of NurOwn in other disease indications. Additionally, we entered into a lease agreement with the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Hospital) in Tel Aviv, Israel, to produce NurOwn in three state-of-the-art cleanrooms. The new facility will significantly increase the Company’s manufacturing capacity, allowing us to strategically enter the European and Israeli markets.”</p><p>Dr. Ralph Kern, President and Chief Medical Officer of Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in delays in the pace of enrollment for our Phase 2 Progressive MS clinical trial. Scheduled March and April 2020 new participant enrollments were deferred to May 2020 when the affected healthcare sites anticipate their access restrictions may be mitigated. We anticipate that enrollment will continue in 2020 subject to any site access restrictions related to COVID-19. Additionally, we are collecting clinical and biomarker data from the treated progressive MS participants and plan to perform an interim analysis after 50% of participants in the trial have been treated. Our clinical team has maximized this disruptive time to re-examine our data and make sure our data is pristine for future regulatory submissions.” Dr. Kern concluded, “In terms of the Hospital Exemption Program, the Company has not completed treatment of all the first 13 patients as non-Israeli patients are unable to travel to Israel at the present time due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. The Company is currently collecting HE clinical data for the patients who already received treatment at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Once the complete data set for the first 13 treated patients is available, we will perform a detailed analysis.”</p><p>First Quarter 2020 and Recent Corporate Highlights:</p><p>Scientific and Company Presentations:</p><p>Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020</p><p>For further details on BrainStorm’s financials, including financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, refer to Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7th, 2020</p><p>Conference Call and Webcast: Thursday, May 7, 2020 @ 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time</p><p>A teleconference replay of the conference call will be available for 14 days on the “Investors &amp; Media” page of BrainStorm’s website:</p><p>About NurOwn® NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

We announced the trial conducted at six major U.S. medical centers of excellence for ALS, was fully enrolled on October 11, 2019, and on October 28, 2019 the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), completed the second planned interim safety analysis for the first 106 patients who received repeat dosing of NurOwn in the Phase 3 trial. The DSMB concluded the trial should continue as planned without any clinical protocol changes.” He added, “In addition, one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed journals, Neurology, published ‘NurOwn Phase 2 Randomized Clinical Trial in ALS: Safety, Clinical and BioMarker Results,’ bringing news of our investigational therapy to the global scientific community. And, just last week, we were happy to announce that the Company recently held a high level meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss potential NurOwn regulatory pathways for approval in ALS.”</p><p>Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm added, “2019 was also a very significant year for those who suffer from progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In February 2019, we announced Cleveland Clinic would serve as our first contracted site for a Phase 2 open-label, multicenter study of repeated intrathecal administration of NurOwn (autologous MSC-NTF cells) in participants with progressive MS (NCT03799718). We enrolled our first patient in March. We contracted with The Stanford University School of Medicine, The Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, and the Mount Sinai Medical Center to further enroll patients.” Dr. Kern added, “The importance of our research in progressive MS was acknowledged by a $495,000 grant award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through it’s Fast Forward Program, and mid-December, the Data Safety Monitoring Board completed the first, pre-specified interim analysis, of safety outcomes for 9 participants and after careful review of all available clinical trial data, the DSMB unanimously concluded that the study should continue as planned without any protocol modification. As of December 31, 2019 we have enrolled 10 patients in the study (50% enrollment completed).”</p><p>Fourth Quarter Corporate Highlights:</p><p>Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 and Recent Updates</p><p>For further details on BrainStorm’s financials, including financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019, refer to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC today.</p><p>Conference Call on Tuesday, February 18th @ 8:00 am Eastern Time</p><p>The investment community may participate in the conference call by dialing the following numbers:</p><p>Those interested in listening to the conference call live via the internet may do so by visiting the “Investors &amp; Media” page of BrainStorm’s website at brainstorm-cell.com/investors/ and clicking on the conference call link.</p><p>A webcast replay of the conference call will be available for 30 days on the “Investors &amp; Media” page of BrainStorm’s website:</p><p>About NurOwn® NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represent a promising investigational approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders.

The FDA indicated that they will look at the &quot;totality of the evidence&quot; in the expected Phase 3 clinical trial data. Furthermore, based on their detailed data assessment, they are committed to work collaboratively with BrainStorm to identify a regulatory pathway forward, including opportunities to expedite statistical review of data from the Phase 3 trial.</p><p>Both the FDA and BrainStorm acknowledged the urgent unmet need and the shared goal of moving much needed therapies for ALS forward as quickly as possible. “This is a key turning point in our work toward providing ALS patients with a potential new therapy,” said Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm. “We commend the FDA for its commitment to the ALS community and to facilitating the development, and we ultimately hope, the approval of NurOwn. The entire BrainStorm team is grateful for the ongoing and conscientious collaboration in the quest to beat ALS.”</p><p>Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer, stated, “The entire team at BrainStorm has collectively worked to ensure that we conduct the finest, science-based clinical trials. We had the opportunity to communicate with Senior Leadership at the FDA and discuss how we can work together to navigate the approval process forward along a novel pathway. We appreciate their willingness and receptiveness to consider innovative approaches as we all seek to better serve the urgent unmet medical needs of the ALS community.”</p><p>Brian Wallach, Co-Founder of I AM ALS stated: “There is nothing more important to those living with ALS than having access to therapies that effectively combat this fatal disease. We have been working with BrainStorm for months now because we believe that NurOwn is a potentially transformative therapy in this fight. We were privileged to represent the patient voice at this meeting and are truly grateful to the company and the FDA for this critical agreement. This is a truly important moment of hope and we look forward to seeing both the Phase III data and the hopeful approval of NurOwn as soon as is possible.”</p><p>About NurOwn® NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represent a promising investigational approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. NurOwn® is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 ALS randomized placebo-controlled trial and in a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in Progressive MS.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

From a research and development, clinical, and corporate perspective, I appreciate the ongoing, dedicated support we have received from our patients and their families. I also want to acknowledge the many accomplishments of our employees, and the commitment we have received from our shareholders and our distinguished clinical partners, as we continue to execute on our goal of bringing much needed treatments to those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.</p><p>In the second week of October, we announced full enrollment of the 200-patient Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT03280056) evaluating repeat intrathecal administration of NurOwn® cellular therapeutic (autologous MSC-NTF cells) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This clinical milestone is a key inflection point in the development of NurOwn as an investigational therapeutic and confirming BrainStorm as the leading biotechnology company developing autologous stem cell therapy treating neurogenerative disease.</p><p>In late October 2019, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) completed the second planned interim safety analysis for the first 106 patients who received repeat dosing of NurOwn in the Phase 3 ALS trial. The DSMB concluded the trial should continue as planned without any protocol changes. Dr. Carlayne Jackson, M.D., chair of the Phase 3 DSMB stated, “After reviewing all of the safety data as of September 30th, the DSMB has recommended the study continue without any changes in the protocol. We did not identify any significant safety concerns.”</p><p>At the end of 2018, we announced the expansion of our pipeline by introducing a new indication for NurOwn in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Progressive MS has deeply affected the lives of many and dramatically impacted family members, caregivers and others. Today, there is no U.S. FDA approved therapy addressing more than one progressive form of MS. In March 2019, we enrolled the first patient in our Phase 2 open-label, multicenter study of repeated intrathecal administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells in participants with progressive MS. Throughout the year, due to our dedicated efforts, we successfully contracted with leading US clinical sites for our Phase 2 open-label, multicenter clinical trial of repeated intrathecal administration of autologous MSC-NFT cells in progressive MS. These clinical sites, which include the Cleveland Clinic, Stanford University School of Medicine, the University of Southern California and Mount Sinai Medical Center, are Centers of Excellence for MS research and treatment and are led by prominent and well-respected clinical investigators and KOLs in the field of progressive MS. In November, Our Phase 2 ALS clinical data was published in “Neurology”, the highly respected peer-reviewed journal and the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Concurrently, Brainstorm was also selected to be featured in an editorial by independent reviewers titled “Stem Cells in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - Hype or Hope”, which commented on Brainstorm’s ALS clinical study design and stated: “Berry and associates are to be commended for presenting the framework of a well-planned and designed study that should serve as a framework for other investigators to emulate.”</p><p>BrainStorm was recently awarded a grant of $495K from The National MS Society (NMSS) to support our Phase 2 biomarker study of NurOwn in progressive MS. This funding from the National MS Society will help us explore key neuroinflammation and neural repair biomarkers in progressive MS to confirm NurOwn’s unique mechanism of action and will guide the design of future clinical trials to address this important unmet patient need.</p><p>We also expanded our intellectual patent portfolio by obtaining additional United States and Japanese patents for BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn cellular technology for the treatment of various neurogenerative diseases. These patents add another layer of protection around our cellular technology and are the result of our ongoing technical development and clinical progress.</p><p>Lastly, we strengthened our executive team by bringing on board Dr. Preetam Shah as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to expand our Investor Relations program and future business development and capital strategy initiatives.</p><p>Our ongoing Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical programs investigating NurOwn in ALS and progressive MS have received extensive and positive news coverage in the mainstream US media over the last year. I want to make sure that all our investors have an opportunity to read these articles and view these news items. The list of selected articles is listed below. The ABC Nightline segment was broadcast to more than 3 million households across the US and continues to be a major part of a full form documentary that will be broadcast by ABC Nightline and partners in 2020.</p><p>What is clear from these news items is that ALS and progressive MS represent significant unmet medical needs and that, despite the limited options currently available, patients are highly motivated to seek out new treatments and physicians recognize the potential of our autologous cellular therapy technology platform.</p><p>Approximately 6,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year and more than 30,000 Americans are currently living with the disease. Worldwide it is estimated that 450,000 patients are living with ALS. Since 1995, only two new pharmaceuticals have been approved, but the medical need remains. NurOwn is the first autologous cellular investigational therapy to have advanced as far in a Phase 3 clinical trial. Progressive MS represents a US and worldwide addressable market opportunity of 500,000 and 1,250,000, individuals, respectively.</p><p>Looking ahead to 2020, we are highly focused on generating top-line results for our ALS phase 3 and progressive MS phase 2 trials in the fourth quarter, to initiating the regulatory submission and eventual commercialization of NurOwn in ALS, to further advancing our cellular technology and manufacturing capabilities. We will actively seek additional opportunities to expand our pipeline to address unmet need and to grow as a biotechnology company.</p><p>I want to personally thank you for your continued support.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Chaim</p><p>Chaim Lebovits President and CEO BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>CONTACTS</p><p>Selected Video Clips:</p><p>ABC Nightline</p><p>ALS patients share about their life 5 years after &#39;Ice Bucket Challenge&#39;: Part 1 https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/als-patients-share-life-years-ice-bucket-challenge-64874152</p><p>Part 2 https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/als-patient-rides-motorcycle-unable-years-part-64874209</p><p>KTLA Southern California</p><p>https://ktla.com/2019/11/21/l-a-firefighter-among-patients-undergoing-promising-treatment-for-als/</p><p>CBS Philadelphia</p><p>https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/03/11/als-patients-fighting-fda-for-experimental-drug-nurown/</p><p>Selected News Articles:</p><p>Safe-Harbor Statements</p><p>Statements in this announcement other than historical data and information constitute &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.&#39;s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The clinical trial enrolled 48 participants randomized 3:1 (treatment: placebo) at three leading U.S. investigative sites: Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic and University of Massachusetts Medical School. After a three-month pre-transplant run-in period, participants received one dose of MSC-NTF cells (n=36) or placebo (n=12) and were followed for six-months. CSF was collected prior to and two-weeks post-transplantation. The clinical trial confirmed that a single transplantation of MSC-NTF (NurOwn) cells was safe and well-tolerated. BrainStorm’s NurOwn cell therapy is the furthest advanced autologous stem cell treatment in development for ALS. On October 11, the Company announced that the NurOwn, Phase 3 clinical trial for ALS was fully enrolled.</p><p>Key efficacy findings:</p><p>“The entire investigative team working on the study are highly encouraged by the promising clinical results,” said Phase 2 trial manuscript lead author Robert Brown DPhil, Leo P. and Theresa M. LaChance Chair in Medical Research and Chair of the Department of Neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) and UMass Memorial Medical Center, “In addition, we observed a clear biological effect of the treatment on CSF biomarkers to support its proposed mechanism of action in ALS.”</p><p>“This was a high quality Phase 2 study that identified dosing, safety, and an important efficacy signal. These data are exactly what is needed to move forward with the current Phase 3 testing,” added Dr. Merit Cudkowicz the Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and the Director of the Healey Center for ALS and Chair of Neurology at Mass General Hospital. “These promising results encourage us to complete the pivotal Phase 3 trial as rapidly as possible,” said Dr. Anthony Windebank, Judith and Jean Pape Adams Foundation Professor of Neuroscience at the Mayo Clinic.</p><p>“The team at BrainStorm and the clinical investigators, led by Professors Brown, Cudkowicz and Windebank, have made a significant contribution to ALS research and to the peer reviewed-scientific literature with the publication of this study in Neurology,” said Ralph Kern, MD, MHSc, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm. He added, “We met our primary endpoint and demonstrated that a single dose of NurOwn was safe and well-tolerated while supporting NurOwn’s mechanism of action on neuroprotection and neuroinflammation pathways in ALS. We look forward to completing the current Phase 3 study to confirm the promising Phase 2 findings and expand our understanding of the potential of MSC-NTF cell therapy in ALS.”</p><p>“Having a major study peer-reviewed, accepted and published by the highly respected journal Neurology is a significant milestone for BrainStorm, and I thank the entire team for the many hours they have contributed to the research and publication process,” said Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm. “Results from the study underscore the importance of conducting a larger Phase 3 clinical trial that will build upon the data collected in our Phase 2 study. Our Phase 3 study has recently reached full recruitment. All 200 ALS patients have been enrolled. We look forward to reporting our clinical results in the scientific literature and through corporate announcements.”</p><p>“We are pleased that the U.S. Phase 2 results of NurOwn are published, and that the Phase 3 trial enrollment is now complete,” said Dr. Neil Thakur, PhD, Executive Vice President for Mission Strategy at the ALS Association. The initial testing of NurOwn in ALS is promising. We stand ready to support rapid review by the FDA of BrainStorm’s biologics license application of NurOwn.”</p><p>Brian Wallach, Co-Founder of I AM ALS, said, “The publication of this important Phase 2 data is a significant milestone in the clinical development program for BrainStorm’s NurOwn. I AM ALS supports the development of potentially transformative therapies like NurOwn and shares in the hope that when the Phase 3 is completed that it will be the first disease modifying therapy for ALS.”</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm has fully enrolled a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm has fully enrolled a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. NurOwn® is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 ALS randomized placebo-controlled trial and in a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in Progressive MS.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

Members of The US Congress and their Staff, including the Staff of the Co-Chairs of the ALS Caucus, attended to listen to the voice of the ALS Community. Members of the ALS Community included: ALS Association, ALS One, Compassionate Care ALS, NoMoreExcuses, ALS Therapy Development Institute, Paralyzed Veterans of America, IamALS, and Project ALS. The Roundtable was convened for the ALS Community to learn more about Brainstorm’s NurOwn® phase 3 clinical development program in ALS and to ensure the patient voice was an ongoing, integral part of the discussion.</p><p>Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm stated, “The updated guidelines recognize the serious and life-threatening nature of ALS and enormous unmet need. We are encouraged that the FDA has updated the ALS guidance document and we commend the advocacy community for keeping the patient voice at the center of this dialogue.” Mr. Lebovits added, “The guidance document proposes regulatory flexibility, the importance of establishing clinical benefit based on functional endpoints, and practicable study size and duration. We believe that these new guidelines are essential in order to develop critically needed drugs for those suffering from ALS.”</p><p>Mary Kay Turner, Vice President of Government Affairs and Patient Advocacy of BrainStorm stated, “Now is such a hopeful time for the ALS Community - the Community is active, informed and engaged in powerful ways. The roundtable discussion was organized as a forum where representatives of the ALS Advocacy Community, Members of the US Congress and their Staff, and the BrainStorm team exchanged many meaningful ideas. Over the course of several hours, challenges and hopes were expressed, and the incredible ALS community shared their visions for a future where ALS is no more. Having Members of Congress and their Staff join the meeting underscores the ALS patient voice is being heard in a powerful and very meaningful way.”</p><p>About NurOwn® NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm is currently conducting a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm also recently received U.S. FDA acceptance to initiate a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive MS and enrollment began in March 2019.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug status designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in ALS. BrainStorm is currently enrolling a Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056), investigating repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells at six sites in the U.S., supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). The pivotal study is intended to support a filing for U.S. FDA approval of autologous MSC-NTF cells in ALS.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm is currently conducting a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm also recently received U.S. FDA acceptance to initiate a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive MS and plans to start enrollment in early 2019.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

For more information, visit the company&#39;s website at www.brainstormcell.com.</p><p>About Progressive Multiple Sclerosis MS is an inflammatory disorder in which infection-fighting white blood cells enter the nervous system and cause injury. MS is a demyelinating disorder because the myelin sheath that protects nerves is stripped off during inflammation. Progressive MS is defined by the gradual accumulation of neurological disability independent of relapses, typically with lack of or incomplete recovery. Therapies utilizing regenerative medicine and repair approaches may offer an innovative treatment option. Autologous MSC-NTF cells are bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) propagated and differentiated in culture to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (MSC-NTF). In preclinical models, there is increasing recognition that NTFs delivered by autologous MSCs have the potential for immunomodulation, remyelination, and neuroprotection in progressive MS.

Progressive MS has deeply affected the lives of many and dramatically impacted family members, caregivers and others. Today, there is no U.S. FDA approved therapy addressing more than one progressive form of MS and we are pleased to deploy our NurOwn® technology platform in this new indication. Soon, we will announce additional sites where the clinical trials will be conducted.”</p><p>“The first participant enrolled in our Phase 2 trial represents an important milestone in our commitment to address the unmet medical need in progressive MS,” said Ralph Kern, MD MHSc, Chief Operating and Chief Medical Officer of Brainstorm. “We plan to quickly initiate enrollment across all study sites and look toward top line data by the middle of 2020.”</p><p>MS is a chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 1 million individuals in the U.S. and 2.5 million individuals worldwide. Approximately half of affected individuals will eventually develop a progressive form of the disease, which may lead to increased levels of motor, visual, and cognitive functional impairment and disability.</p><p>For more information, refer to www.clinicaltrials.gov, using the NCT identifier (NCT03799718).</p><p>About NurOwn® Technology Platform</p><p>NurOwn® (autologous MSC-NTF) cells represent a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm is currently conducting a Phase 3 pivotal trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm also recently received U.S. FDA acceptance to initiate a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial in progressive MS and enrollment began in March 2019.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

MS is a demyelinating disorder because the myelin sheath that protects nerves is stripped off during inflammation. Progressive MS is defined by the gradual accumulation of neurological disability independent of relapses, typically with lack of or incomplete recovery. Therapies utilizing regenerative medicine and repair approaches may offer an innovative treatment option. Autologous MSC-NTF cells are bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) propagated and differentiated in culture to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (MSC-NTF). In preclinical models, there is increasing recognition that NTFs delivered by autologous MSCs have the potential for immunomodulation, remyelination, and neuroprotection in progressive MS. The Phase 2 study of autologous MSC-NTF cells in patients with progressive MS (NCT03799718) started enrollment in March 2019.</p><p>Safe-Harbor Statements Statements in this announcement other than historical data and information constitute &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.&#39;s actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

BrainStorm wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all of you. Enrolling in the trial is a brave and selfless act. You&#39;re making a difference by offering a ray of hope for all people living with ALS. Without you, we could not advance the clinical development of the investigational therapy NurOwn®. You are all heroes.</p><p>The BCT-002 double-blind placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of repeated doses of the investigational therapy NurOwn® is actively recruiting eligible participants at all 6 U.S. sites. Since the trial is double-blinded, Brainstorm, the participants and the study researchers do not know who is receiving NurOwn treatment or placebo. Therefore, in order to protect the integrity of the trial and the clinical development program for the investigational therapy NurOwn®, we cannot comment on any of the social media postings by patients or the email requests we are receiving.</p><p>Please note that based on the broad experience in ALS clinical trials, one can expect that some study participants may not respond to therapy and at the same time transient improvements can be observed in some participants after receiving placebo. Therefore, individual reports of improvement or lack of improvement should be cautiously interpreted.</p><p>Brainstorm stays fully committed to advance our pivotal phase 3 ALS trial towards a BLA submission. We strongly believe that currently this is the best and most credible pathway to demonstrate that NurOwn® may be a safe and an effective treatment option for ALS patients. If the outcome of the trial is successful, we hope to be able to bring a much-needed solution to ALS patients as quickly as possible.</p><p>As stated publicly in June 2018, we have faithfully followed through on our commitment to Matt Bellina to provide treatment through the Right to Try pathway free of charge. We confirm that the treatment has been initiated, and since NurOwn® is still an “investigational therapy” we refrain from any further comment.</p><p>In conclusion, BrainStorm remains dedicated to rapidly advancing our pivotal phase 3 ALS trial and we appreciate the support and encouragement of the ALS community.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement.

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm is currently conducting a Phase 3 pivotal trial (NCT03280056) of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors. Autologous MSC-NTF cells can effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression. BrainStorm is currently conducting a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of autologous MSC-NTF cells for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). BrainStorm has also recently received U.S. FDA acceptance to initiate a Phase 2 trial in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and plans to start enrollment in early 2019.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a leading developer of innovative autologous adult stem cell therapeutics for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to clinical development and commercialization of the NurOwn® technology platform used to produce autologous MSC-NTF cells through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement. Autologous MSC-NTF cells have received Orphan Drug status designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in ALS. BrainStorm is currently enrolling a Phase 3 pivotal trial in ALS (NCT03280056), investigating repeat-administration of autologous MSC-NTF cells at six sites in the U.S., supported by a grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM CLIN2-0989). The pivotal study is intended to support a filing for U.S. FDA approval of autologous MSC-NTF cells in ALS.

I appreciate the many accomplishments of our employees and the dedicated support we have received from investors, as we execute on our goal of bringing critical treatments to those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.</p><p>I want to acknowledge the efforts of the six key centers enrolling patients in the Company’s NurOwn® Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): Mass General Hospital, UMass, Mayo Clinic, CPMC, Cedars Sinai and UC Irvine, and to the ALS patients and their families for helping us advance the pivotal study. We are targeting to enroll 200 ALS patients in this trial, and we remain on track to achieve this key milestone by mid-2019.</p><p>In August 2018, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) completed the first planned interim safety analysis for the ALS Phase 3 study and concluded that there were no safety concerns and the study should continue as planned. Dr. Carlayne Jackson, M.D., who is the chair of the DSMB reviewing NurOwn commented, “We appreciate the continued commitment of BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics for conducting this trial in such an exemplary manner.” The DSMB will conduct an additional planned interim safety analysis by July 2019, for which we will report the outcome when it becomes available.</p><p>On the research and development front, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the Company’s NurOwn investigational new drug application for a Phase 2 study in progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We plan to initiate a study in this patient population in the first quarter of 2019 and will provide additional details regarding the trial design and participating centers. Expanding our clinical trial program into progressive MS is an important achievement in establishing NurOwn as a platform technology, and furthermore, we are conducting pre-clinical research in other neurodegenerative diseases, and plan to announce additional potential indications in 2019.</p><p>This year we also expanded our NurOwn manufacturing capabilities by transferring operations to the Dana Farber Cancer Institution, in addition to the on-going production at the City of Hope for Biomedicine and Genetics.</p><p>In 2018, we focused on strengthening our financial position; we received $12.3 million from warrant activation and additional milestone payments as part of the previously awarded $16 million non-dilutive grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. In addition, for the 11th consecutive year, we received non-dilutive grants from the Israel Innovation Authority to further support the development of NurOwn®, including a research and development grant of $1 million. BrainStorm is entering 2019 in a position of financial strength, which will enable us to remain laser focused on executing our clinical trials and operational initiatives.</p><p>We expanded our patent portfolio by obtaining additional United States, European and Japanese patents for BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn® technology for the treatment of ALS and Parkinson&#39;s disease. These additional patents further protect our technology, and are the result of our ongoing technology development and clinical progress.</p><p>Lastly, we strengthened our executive team and board of directors. We added three senior members to our executive team: Arturo Araya as Chief Commercial Officer, Susan Ward as Head of Clinical Operations, and Joseph Petroziello as Vice President, Scientific &amp; Corporate Communications. These individuals were sought after for their deep neuroscience experience, significant industry expertise and long track record of industry achievements. Our Board of Directors was strengthened with the appointment of Anthony Polverino, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Early Development &amp; Chief Scientific Officer at Zymeworks Inc. and formerly interim Chief Scientific Officer of Kite Pharma. Dr. Polverino is a highly accomplished senior biopharmaceutical executive with more than 25 years’ industry experience in drug research and development.</p><p>Looking ahead to 2019, we remain focused on completing enrolment in the ALS phase 3 study and initiating the progressive MS phase 2 studies are our highest priorities. We will continue to lead the development of cellular therapeutics in neurodegenerative disease, seek additional opportunities to expand our pipeline to address unmet need and continue to enhance our manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure.</p><p>I want to personally thank you for your continued support.</p><p>Sincerely, Chaim Lebovits, CEO</p><p>CONTACTS</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>Corporate Headquarters1325 Avenue of Americas, 28th FloorNew York City, NY 10019Phone: +1-201-488-0460</p><p>Contacts</p><p>Media:</p><p>Joseph Petroziello</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics</p><p>Phone: +1.215.485.6797</p><p>Email: JP@brainstorm-cell.com</p><p>Investors:</p><p>Marcy Beth Nanus</p><p>Solebury Trout</p><p>Phone: +1.646.378.2927</p><p>Email: MNanus@troutgroup.com</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BrainStorm Expands Manufacturing of NurOwn® for Phase 2 Progressive MS Trial]]></title><link>https://brainstorm-cell.com/news/brainstorm-expands-manufacturing-of-nurown-for-phase-2-progressive-ms-trial/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brainstorm-cell.com/news/brainstorm-expands-manufacturing-of-nurown-for-phase-2-progressive-ms-trial/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Dec 2018 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

The company has established an ethical and practical framework with four key elements that must be satisfied in order to be able to provide NurOwn® to ALS patients under the RTT pathway. The four elements are: providing the treatment to a limited number of patients at clinical trial-experienced sites to ensure the necessary expertise and systems of care are in place to safely and effectively deliver the therapy; ensuring that patients are fully educated on the benefits and risks of the investigational therapy; limiting the inclusion to patients who do not meet the Phase 3 clinical trial inclusion criteria to ensure that the RTT pathway does not adversely impact the clinical trial; and lastly, finding alternative funding solutions for patients who are unable to afford the high cost of regenerative medicine cell therapies.

During the signing, President Trump highlighted the urgency and need for patients who don&#39;t meet inclusion criteria&#39;s to have access to investigational treatments when they have exhausted all treatment options. He cited the example of Matthew Bellina, an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient who had been seeking access to BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn® investigational therapy but did not qualify for clinical trials in the U.S. Mr. Bellina had plans to travel to Israel to pursue access to NurOwn® treatment. The President stated clearly that, with the passage of this bill, patients will be able to seek treatment in the U.S. without the burden of having to travel overseas. BrainStorm&#39;s president and CEO Chaim Lebovits was present during the bill signing at the White House to support and demonstrate commitment to the ALS community.</p><p>To view President Trump&#39;s speech on C-SPAN (referencing ALS treatment in Israel at timecode 19:35 through 20:35) refer to https://cs.pn/2skXaus.</p><p>&quot;Since the signing of the &#39;Right-to-Try&#39; bill, we have had numerous enquiries from patients, patient advocates and physicians who want to voice their opinions as we establish our RTT policy,&quot; stated Mr. Lebovits. &quot;As part of our commitment to the community, we are happy to provide interested groups this opportunity to engage directly with us. We recognize the sense of urgency of ALS patients such as Matthew Bellina, and are evaluating ways to provide access to NurOwn® outside of our Phase 3 trial.

NurOwn has the potential to be the first ALS treatment to improve patient functioning as a regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine solutions are desperately needed in the field of neurodegenerative diseases as current therapies have limited efficacy, only slow progression and do not maintain or restore function. NurOwn is currently being tested in a multi-site Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. and, if successful, the results from this trial will submitted to the FDA and other regulatory authorities around the world with the goal of obtaining marketing approval. BrainStorm has completed two single arm clinical trials which established the safety profile of NurOwn and provided indications of a treatment benefit. Additionally, the company has completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study at three prestigious academic medical centers in the US.

However, due to an outpouring of inquiry and support from Canadian patients wanting to enroll in the trial, we filed an amendment with the FDA to allow Canada-based ALS patients to participate. The amendment was approved and we are pleased to announce today that Canada-based patients may now enroll in our study at the University of Massachusetts (UMass).&quot;</p><p>The trial is designed to enroll 200 patients with ALS, and is being conducted at six leading ALS clinical sites in the U.S. The primary outcome measure is the ALSFR-S score responder analysis. The patient population is being optimized to include the pre-specified subgroups who demonstrated superior outcomes in the NurOwn Phase 2 ALS clinical trial. Top-line data are expected in 2019. For more information, refer to www.clinicaltrials.gov, using the NCT identifier NCT03280056.</p><p>About NurOwn® NurOwn utilizes a patient&#39;s own cells which have been engineered outside the body, to produce and secrete factors known to promote neuronal survival. NurOwn has the potential to be the first ALS treatment to improve patient functioning as a regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine solutions are desperately needed in the field of neurodegenerative diseases as current therapies have limited efficacy, only slow progression and do not maintain or restore function. NurOwn is currently being tested in a multi-site Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. and, if successful, the results from this trial will submitted to the FDA and other regulatory authorities around the world with the goal of obtaining marketing approval. BrainStorm has completed two single arm clinical trials which established the safety profile of NurOwn and provided indications of a treatment benefit. Additionally, the company has completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study at three prestigious academic medical centers in the US. In this study, clinically meaningful changes in functioning were observed in patients receiving NurOwn.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

Their guidance will be an asset as we execute on our Phase 3 program for NurOwn® in ALS and advance our pipeline programs with the goal of bringing new treatment options to patients afflicted with neurodegenerative diseases.&quot;</p><p>Stanley H. Appel, M.D., is the Peggy and Gary Edwards Distinguished Endowed Professor for the Treatment and Research of ALS, Department of Neurology, Neurological Institute, Houston Methodist Hospital and Professor of Neurology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He is director of the MDA/ALS Research and Clinical Center at the Methodist Neurological Institute, and a past director of a National Institute of Aging Alzheimer&#39;s Disease Research Center. He has received numerous awards for his accomplishments in neurology and biochemistry, including the Gold Medal Award in 1997 from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons for &quot;Distinguished Achievements in Medicine&quot; and the Sheila Essey Award in 2003 from the American Academy of Neurology for &quot;outstanding research in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.&quot;</p><p>Amit Bar-Or, M.D., a neurologist and neuroimmunologist, is the Presidential Endowed Chair at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn/CHOP) and the Melissa and Paul Anderson Professor of Neurology, founder and director of the Centre for Neuroinflammation and Experimental Neurotherapeutics and chief, Multiple Sclerosis Division. He leads a cellular and molecular neuroimmunology lab that studies basic principles of immune regulation and immune­neural interaction, in the context of inflammation, injury and repair of the human central nervous system (CNS). He is President-Elect of the International Society of Neuroimmunology (ISNI) and serves on the board of directors of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) and on the steering committee of the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN).</p><p>&quot;We are privileged that Professors Appel and Bar-Or have agreed to serve on the BrainStorm Scientific Advisory Board,&quot; said Ralph Kern, M.D., MHSc, chief operating officer and chief medical officer of BrainStorm. &quot;Their contributions will be important as we continue to execute our pivotal phase 3 trial of NurOwn® in ALS and broaden our efforts to address unmet need in other neurodegenerative diseases.&quot;</p><p>Prof. Stanley Appel said, &quot;BrainStorm&#39;s proprietary, stem cell-based technology has demonstrated promising results in the clinic. I look forward to working with the team at BrainStorm and am excited about this opportunity to contribute to the advancement of the company&#39;s therapeutic candidates.&quot;</p><p>Prof. Amit Bar-Or added, &quot;BrainStorm is developing a promising pipeline of stem cell-based treatments to treat serious neurological conditions. With the lead candidate NurOwn in a Phase 3 study for ALS, I am pleased to be joining the scientific advisory board to help guide the company&#39;s efforts at this key stage.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn ® NurOwn ® utilizes a patient&#39;s own cells which have been engineered outside the body, to produce and secrete factors known to promote neuronal survival. NurOwn ® has the potential to be the first ALS treatment to improve patient functioning as a regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine solutions are desperately needed in the field of neurodegenerative diseases as current therapies have limited efficacy, only slow progression and do not maintain or restore function. NurOwn ® is currently being tested in a multi-site Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. and, if successful, the results from this trial will submitted to the FDA and other regulatory authorities around the world with the goal of obtaining marketing approval. BrainStorm has completed two single arm clinical trials which established the safety profile of NurOwn ® and provided indications of a treatment benefit. Additionally, the company has completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study at three prestigious academic medical centers in the US. In this study, clinically meaningful changes in functioning were observed in patients receiving NurOwn ® .</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to develop and commercialize its NurOwn® technology through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University. NurOwn ® has been administered to approximately 70 patients with ALS in clinical trials conducted in the United States and Israel. In a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in the U. S., a clinically meaningful benefit was demonstrated by higher response to NurOwn® compared with placebo.

We look forward to the strategic insights and contributions he will make.&quot;</p><p>Dr. Polverino is currently the interim chief scientific officer of Kite (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead Sciences), which he joined in 2015, and where he is currently responsible for establishing Kite&#39;s strategic non-clinical R&amp;D roadmap to support its current and future portfolio. Prior to this, he was the vice president of research at Kite, where his responsibilities included corporate goal setting, budget allocation, scientific and investor interactions, business development in-licensing and partnership deals. Dr. Polverino spent 20 years in positions of increasing responsibilities at Amgen, Inc., most recently as executive director of its Therapeutic Innovation Unit, where he managed research programs in oncology, metabolic disease, inflammatory disease and schizophrenia. Prior to Amgen, he was a postdoctoral scientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where he worked primarily on oncology research. Dr. Polverino is an author of several patents, and has been published in nearly 40 scientific and peer-reviewed journals. He earned a B.Sc. in Biochemistry/Physiology and a B.Sc.

We are pleased to receive this important GMP approval, taking us one step closer to making our therapy available to patients who do not have the opportunity to participate in our U.S. trial,&quot; said Dr. Ralph Kern, M.D., Chief Operating Officer &amp; Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm.</p><p>&quot;ALS is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease with few treatment options available,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, President &amp; CEO of BrainStorm. &quot;NurOwn® is a novel advanced stem cell therapy now being studied in a multi-site Phase 3 pivotal trial at leading ALS centers, and we look forward to making it available to patients through innovative regulatory pathways.&quot;</p><p>About NurOwn ® NurOwn® utilizes a patient&#39;s own cells which have been engineered outside the body, to produce and secrete factors known to promote neuronal survival. NurOwn® has the potential to be the first ALS treatment to improve patient functioning as a regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine solutions are desperately needed in the field of neurodegenerative diseases as current therapies have limited efficacy, only slow progression and do not maintain or restore function. NurOwn® is currently being tested in a multi-site Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. and, if successful, the results from this trial will submitted to the FDA and other regulatory authorities around the world with the goal of obtaining marketing approval. BrainStorm has completed two single arm clinical trials which established the safety profile of NurOwn® and provided indications of a treatment benefit. Additionally, the company has completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study at three prestigious academic medical centers in the US. In this study, clinically meaningful changes in functioning were observed in patients receiving NurOwn®.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The Company holds the rights to develop and commercialize its NurOwn® technology through an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement with Ramot, the technology transfer company of Tel Aviv University.

A key accomplishment was the enrollment of the first US patients in the Phase 3 clinical trial of NurOwn® for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition to our clinical success, we have further developed our manufacturing capabilities in many ways, including validating the cryopreservation process. Financially, we received additional non-dilutive grants from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) as well as the Israel Innovation Authority. In addition, we have further strengthened our executive team with new key appointments.</p><p>In October, we enrolled the first patients in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-dose Phase 3 clinical trial of NurOwn® for the treatment of ALS. Our Phase 3 trial builds upon the promising efficacy demonstrated in our Phase 2 randomized US trial, the first ALS study data to highlight the restoration of patient function.</p><p>As the most advanced stem cell therapy in development for the treatment of ALS, our Phase 3 trial will enroll approximately 200 patients at six leading clinical sites in the U.S. The NurOwn® phase 3 trial patient population will focus on the patient sub-groups which demonstrated superior outcomes in the Phase 2 ALS clinical trial. The primary outcome measure will be the ALSFR-S score responder analysis, a score that measures a patient&#39;s ability to perform tasks that are affected by ALS. We expect interim safety data in mid 2018 and top-line data in late 2019. The phase 3 trial will also expand upon phase 2 biomarkers to further evaluate their potential to predict ALS disease progression and NurOwn® treatment response.</p><p>The pivotal phase 3 NurOwn® trial is being supported by a $16 million non-dilutive grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). In addition, for the tenth consecutive year, we have received non-dilutive grants from the Israel Innovation Authority to further support the development of NurOwn®, including a $2.1 million grant in 2017.</p><p>We met and exceeded expectations in 2017 on the manufacturing and product development front. As an important milestone for potential commercialization, in early 2017 our NurOwn® cryopreservation process was validated for the Phase 3 clinical study for treatment of ALS. Additionally, to further expand our manufacturing capabilities, we contracted the City of Hope&#39;s Center for Biomedicine and Genetics, California, to produce clinical supplies of NurOwn® for our Phase 3 trial.</p><p>We continue to explore strategic partnerships to advance NurOwn&#39;s clinical development and maximize its market potential. In 2017 we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the possibility of making NurOwn® available to ALS patients under provision of the MOH Hospital Exemption regulation with Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.</p><p>In addition, this year we expanded our patent portfolio by obtaining an additional US patent for BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn® technology for the treatment of ALS and Parkinson&#39;s disease. This move further protects our technology and is a result of BrainStorm&#39;s ongoing development and clinical successes.</p><p>In parallel to our NurOwn® successes, we strengthened our executive team and board of directors. We added three senior members to our executive team: Ralph Z. Kern, MD, MHSc joined Brainstorm in a dual role as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer, starting in March. In August, Mary Kay Turner joined as Vice President of Patient Advocacy and Government Affairs. Eyal Rubin joined early November as Chief Financial Officer, responsible for corporate finance and accounting. These individuals were chosen for their deep neuroscience experience, significant industry expertise and long track record of industry achievements.</p><p>Our Board of Directors was strengthened in February with the addition of June S. Almenoff, M.D., Ph.D., FACP, and Arturo O. Araya, M.A., M.B.A. Their vast experience in drug development and commercialization, and cell and gene therapy are valuable assets to our company, particularly at this important time.</p><p>This year, in addition to support enrollment in the Phase 3 ALS clinical trial, we are also looking to advance BrainStorm&#39;s pipeline in other neurodegenerative diseases, based on strong preclinical data in Parkinson&#39;s disease and Multiple Sclerosis.</p><p>In closing, management is dedicated to achieving our primary goals to deliver value for our shareholders, to develop transformative cell therapies for ALS and other severe neurodegenerative diseases, and to be the leader in this field. We have accomplished much in the past year but there is no doubt in our mind that our best days are ahead of us. Thank you for your continued interest in and commitment to support Brainstorm.</p><p>Please do not hesitate to contact us directly with any additional questions; we can be reached at info@brainstorm-cell.com</p><p>Sincerely, Chaim Lebovits President and CEO BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics to Present at the 10th Annual Biotech Showcase]]></title><link>https://brainstorm-cell.com/news/brainstorm-cell-therapeutics-to-present-at-the-10th-annual-biotech-showcase/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brainstorm-cell.com/news/brainstorm-cell-therapeutics-to-present-at-the-10th-annual-biotech-showcase/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Dec 2017 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

The patient population will be optimized to include the pre-specified subgroups who demonstrated superior outcomes in the NurOwn® Phase 2 ALS clinical trial. Top-line data are expected in 2019. For more information, refer to www.clinicaltrials.gov , using the NCT identifier NCT03280056.</p><p>&quot;NurOwn® is a highly innovative and advanced stem cell therapy now being studied in a phase 3 trial in ALS. The support of this trial by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) highlights the importance of addressing ALS unmet need beyond currently available therapies, which slow disease progression but do not maintain or restore function,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, president and CEO of Brainstorm. &quot;BrainStorm plans to quickly advance the phase 3 trial to confirm promising phase 2 efficacy findings and bring much needed hope to ALS patients and their families.&quot;</p><p>Dr. Robert Miller, director of the Forbes Norris ALS Research Center at California Pacific Medical Center, added: &quot;Stem cells are emerging as a potential viable candidate to treat ALS, and we are very excited to be participating in this important Phase 3 trial. The clinical data from NurOwn® have been encouraging, demonstrating clear evidence of clinical benefit and supported by analysis of inflammatory markers and neurotrophic factors in treated patients. NurOwn® cells have the important advantage of being autologous, so patients do not need to be immunosuppressed. In addition, the production process is relatively straightforward, and the harvesting and delivery of cells is much less invasive than other stem cell systems that have been tested in the clinic. We have been conducting ALS clinical trials for more than two decades at California Pacific Medical Center and this is, by far, the most exciting trial in which we have been involved to date.&quot;</p><p>Maria Millan, M.D., president and CEO of CIRM said: &quot;CIRM&#39;s partnership with Brainstorm Therapeutics represents an international collaboration to find a treatment for ALS or &#39;Lou Gehrig&#39;s Disease,&#39; a devastating neurologic and fatal condition for which there is currently no durable treatment or cure. CIRM is partnering with Brainstorm to follow up on the Company&#39;s promising phase 2 trial in patients with ALS.&quot; Abla Creasey, Ph.D. senior director of strategic Infrastructure at CIRM added: &quot;Brainstorm will conduct this trial at multiple sites in California, including our Alpha Clinics Network and will also manufacture its product in California using CIRM-funded infrastructure.&quot;</p><p>This trial is supported by a $16 million non-dilutive grant from CIRM. A milestone payment of $5.5 million, representing approximately 30% of the grant, has been received.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Mary Kay brings an extensive background in patient advocacy, government affairs and health policy. We are fortunate to have someone with her biopharma expertise and dedication to the patient community join our team.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Mary Kay will lead the development and implementation of external collaborations that will address and support the needs of people living with ALS&quot;, said Dr. Ralph Z. Kern, MD, MHSc, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;Working directly with patient advocacy groups deepens our understanding of patients&#39; needs and aligns our efforts with the broader ALS community.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I have been impressed by the progress BrainStorm has made with NurOwn, particularly the outstanding Phase 2 clinical data which showed meaningful improvements in disease symptoms,&quot; said Mary Kay Turner. &quot;Joining the company at this exciting juncture provides a great opportunity to work with respected leaders in neurology and cell therapy and to contribute to the development of a new treatment that could potentially transform the ALS landscape.&quot;</p><p>Mary Kay is recognized as a leader within the biopharma industry for developing advocacy and government affairs strategies. Most recently she worked at Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America as Head of Patient Advocacy and Communications. Prior to this, Mary Kay spent 26 years at Bristol Myers Squibb Company where she played an essential role in establishing the company&#39;s advocacy function and held various positions of increasing responsibility in sales leadership, patient advocacy and government affairs. From 2010 to 2016, she was Head of State Government Affairs and Advocacy at Bristol-Myers. In this role she led a team of government affairs professionals that focused on significant legislative and regulatory issues that promoted and protected the discovery and development of innovative therapies. Mary Kay helped to define the company&#39;s advocacy strategy and engagement for each of its key therapeutic areas.</p><p>In 2016, Mary Kay was appointed to the Arizona Biomedical Research Commission by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and served a one-year term.

For more information about the society, key initiatives and upcoming meetings, please visit: www.celltherapysociety.org.</p><p>About the World Advanced Therapies &amp; Regenerative Medicine Congress 12 years ago when the World Stem Cells Congress was launched, the stem cells sector was one of scientific interest. Focusing on the challenges of how to transform these little precursor cells eventually into new tissues and organs. The first stem cells conference was relatively small with only 80 people attending the first event, but we knew we were on the verge of something huge and exciting.

They noted that this was the first study to show an improvement across all autistic like behavioral phenotypes that can be measured in mice and the first to demonstrate a long-lasting effect of a single treatment for six months.</p><p>&quot;These findings are especially encouraging because of the lack of effective medical treatments available for autism and the enormous impact this condition has on patients and their families,&quot; said Ralph Z. Kern, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of BrainStorm. &quot;We believe that these results represent a strong rationale for pursuing clinical development of NurOwn® as a potential treatment for autism, which we hope to explore further this year.&quot;</p><p>About Autism</p><p>According to the Autism Society, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability; signs typically appear during early childhood and affect a person&#39;s ability to communicate and interact with others. ASD is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a &quot;spectrum condition&quot; that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause of autism, but increased awareness and early diagnosis/intervention and access to appropriate services/supports lead to significantly improved outcomes. Some of the behaviors associated with autism include delayed learning of language; difficulty making eye contact or holding a conversation; difficulty with executive functioning, which relates to reasoning and planning; narrow, intense interests; poor motor skills&#39; and sensory sensitivities. In March 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDM autism prevalence report which concluded that the prevalence of autism had risen to 1 in every 68 births in the United States – nearly twice as great as the 2004 rate of 1 in 125 – and almost 1 in 54 boys.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult mesenchymal stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Following our End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, we are making final preparations to begin a Phase 3 clinical trial, which when successful will position us to bring to ALS patients and their families a much needed and innovative ALS disease modifying therapy.&quot;</p><p>2016 and Recent Clinical Highlights:</p><p>2016 and Recent Corporate Highlights:</p><p>Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2016 Net R&amp;D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $323,000, compared with $826,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased U.S. clinical trial expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2016, general and administrative expenses were $327,000, compared with $571,000 in the same period of 2015. This was driven by decreased consultants expenses and decrease in Delaware Franchise Tax. Net loss for the fourth quarter was $624,000 or ($0.03) per share, versus $1.4 million or ($0.07) per share in the same period of 2015.</p><p>Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Research and Development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $2.3 million, compared to $4.9 million in the same period of 2015, primarily as a result of decreased U.S. clinical trial costs and partially offset by in the costs of activities related to the Israeli clinical trials and costs of materials. General and administrative expenses for the year were $2.8 million, compared to $3.6 million in the same period of 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of our investor relations and public relations activities, our Delaware Franchise tax and rent. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in payroll expenses and consultants. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $5.0 million, or ($0.27) per share, compared with a net loss of $8.5 million, or ($0.46) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2015.</p><p>As of December 31, 2016, BrainStorm had approximately $10.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, compared with approximately $16.0 million at December 31, 2015.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

Company scientists were successful in showing that the MSC can be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen for prolonged periods of time while maintaining their characteristics. The cryopreserved MSC are capable of differentiating into NurOwn®, similar to the NurOwn® derived from fresh MSC of the same patient/donor, prior to cryopreservation. This will allow the Company to provide repeated doses of autologous NurOwn® from a single bone marrow aspirate in its upcoming multidose clinical trial. Cryopreservation will avoid the need for patients to undergo repeated bone marrow aspirations.</p><p>&quot;Developing a robust and reproducible cryopreservation process has been an important goal for our R&amp;D team as we prepare for the upcoming multi-dose Phase 3 clinical study in ALS,&quot; commented BrainStorm&#39;s CEO Chaim Lebovits. &quot;One of the challenges with autologous stem cell transplantations such as NurOwn® has been that treating patients with multiple doses would have required them to undergo a number of aspiration procedures. Cryopreservation will streamline the process and help reduce the burden both on patients and on the treatment centers. Importantly, it will also result in lower cost of goods for NurOwn®. This development, along with the other improvements we have made to the NurOwn® manufacturing process, is part of our strategy to continuously advance our stem cell platform technologies.&quot;</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Brainstorm has reached general agreement with the FDA to proceed to a Phase 3 trial. Importantly, the FDA has accepted the key elements of the Phase 3 program to support a Biologic License Application (BLA) for NurOwn® in ALS. The planned Phase 3 clinical trial will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-dose trial that will be conducted at multiple sites in the U.S. and in Israel. The trial is expected to begin enrolling patients in the second quarter of 2017.</p><p>&quot;We are very pleased with the outcome of the End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, and we look forward to initiating our Phase 3 clinical trial for NurOwn® in ALS,&quot; said Chaim Lebovits, BrainStorm&#39;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &quot;Together with our clinical investigators in the U.S. and Israel, we have worked diligently with the FDA to advance NurOwn® through to late-stage development. Building off NurOwn&#39;s safety and clinical efficacy observed to date, we are developing a Phase 3 program that, if successful, will position us to bring to the market an innovative, disease modifying treatment for patients suffering from ALS.&quot;</p><p>BrainStorm to Apply for Hospital Exemption for NurOwn ® in Israel</p><p>Brainstorm plans to submit an application in Israel that will allow patient access to NurOwn® as a treatment that has been granted Hospital Exemption. This recently approved pathway would permit Brainstorm to partner with a medical center in Israel and be allowed to treat patients with NurOwn® for a fee.</p><p>Hospital Exemption allows for advanced therapy medicinal products to be made available to a group of patients to be agreed upon by the Israeli Ministry of Health. It is intended to provide patients with the possibility to benefit from a custom-made, innovative, individual treatment where there is a critical unmet need and an absence of valid therapeutic alternatives. The treatment is usually a custom-made product, such as NurOwn®, manufactured using a patient&#39;s own cells that are prepared on a non-routine basis. In order to qualify for a Hospital Exemption, a number of important criteria must be met including preparation according to specific quality standards (equivalent to those for a licensed product), use in a hospital and use under the exclusive responsibility of a medical practitioner.</p><p>&quot;Our planned application for Hospital Exemption is our first step toward providing ALS patients with access to NurOwn,&quot; said Mr. Lebovits. &quot;Our decision to proceed with this application is based on a strong interest voiced by ALS patients via a questionnaire. We foresee possible treatments under this pathway as early as the second half of 2017.&quot;</p><p>Conference Call and Webcast Details</p><p>Brainstorm will host a conference call and live webcast, today, Monday December 19 th, at 8.30am Eastern Time.

In the samples of those patients treated with NurOwn, a statistically significant increase in levels of neurotrophic factors VEGF, HGF and LIF was observed from pre- to post-transplantation. There was also a statistically significant reduction in inflammatory markers (MCP-1 and SDF-1) over this period, in patients treated with NurOwn® and this was not observed in the placebo group.</p><p>Dr. Berry also presented the pre-specified responder analyses from the Phase 2 trial which examined percentage improvements in post treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) slope compared to pre-treatment slope. These analyses showed that, in the NurOwn® treated group, a greater number of patients achieved the high threshold of 100% improvement in the post-treatment vs. pre-treatment slope, compared with the placebo group. The definition of these responders is that their disease symptoms were essentially halted for the period of the treatment effect or they achieved a positive improvement on their ALSFRS-R score. Moreover, in the pre-specified subgroup that was defined in order to exclude subjects whose disease was progressing slowly, this effect was even more pronounced.</p><p>&quot;This Phase 2 trial demonstrated clinical meaningful improvements in disease symptoms as measured by the well-established ALSFRS-R scale&quot;, stated Dr. James Berry, Unit Chief of the Mass. General ALS Multidisciplinary Clinic. &quot;Importantly, there is evidence that NurOwn® may be halting disease progression or improving symptoms in some patients. The CSF biomarker profiles were also encouraging. The significant increases in neurotrophic factors and decrease in inflammatory markers observed in the treated group post-transplant provide a biological mechanism supporting the observed clinical effect.&quot;</p><p>The Phase 2 trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NurOwn® in 48 ALS patients. It was conducted at three sites in the U.S: Massachusetts General Hospital, UMass Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. Patients were randomized to receive NurOwn cells administered via combined intramuscular and intrathecal injection (n= 36), or placebo (n=12). The primary objective of the study was safety and tolerability. The pre-specified efficacy analyses were: change in the ALSFRS-R slope, change in Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) and muscle strength, responder analysis (the percentage of subjects who improved post-treatment compared with pre-treatment), and a subgroup analysis excluding slowly progressing patients who are less likely to have a detectable benefit from NurOwn.</p><p>Dr. Berry&#39;s presentation is posted on the &quot;Events and Presentations&quot; page of the Brainstorm company website (www.brainstorm-cell.com).</p><p>About the International Symposium on ALS/MND The MND Association organizes the International Symposium on ALS/MND.

Brainstorm, with the announcement, in July, of positive data from our Phase 2 trial of NurOwn ® in Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis, or ALS,” said Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. “This study, which was conducted at
three major medical centers in the U.S., met its objectives, demonstrating both the safety of NurOwn and its ability to provide
a clinical benefit to ALS patients. We are currently working with our investigators and other key opinion leaders in the field
of ALS on the design of a larger powered to efficacy multiple dose trial. We plan to meet with the FDA in order to present the
results and discuss the next steps for Nurown including the various pathways available for our orphan drug fast track status product.”</p><p>Second Quarter 2016 and Recent Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; Announced positive topline results from U.S. Phase 2 randomized, placebo controlled study of NurOwn
in patients with ALS.</p><p>o Study achieved its primary objective, demonstrating that NurOwn was safe and well tolerated.</p><p>o NurOwn also achieved multiple secondary efficacy endpoints, showing clear evidence of a clinically
meaningful benefit.</p><p>o Response rates (based on ALSFRS-R responder analysis) were higher in NurOwn-treated subjects compared
to placebo at all time points in the study out to 24 weeks.</p><p>o Further evidence of biological effect was demonstrated by the increased levels of growth factors
in the cerebrospinal fluid and decreased inflammatory markers observed after two weeks.</p><p>o Results will be used to help determine the study population and design for a registration study
investigating multiple doses of NurOwn in ALS.</p><p>o Phase 2 study was conducted at three sites in the U.S: Massachusetts General Hospital, UMass

Brown, Professor and Chair of Neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and Medical School, and investigator in the trial. &quot;These exciting findings clearly indicate that it is appropriate to conduct a longer study with repetitive dosing.&quot;</p><p>&quot;We are excited about the trial results which provide important information on safety, preliminary efficacy and biological effects of NurOwn,&quot; said Merit E. Cudkowicz, MD, MSc, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Chief of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital. &quot;More participants in the treated group had slowing of progression and there were no safety concerns. The increased levels of growth factors in the cerebrospinal fluid and decreased inflammatory markers observed after two weeks are encouraging evidence for a biological effect. Based on these results, repeat dosing at 8 to 12 weeks and a larger confirmatory trial are warranted. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Brainstorm on the development of NurOwn for ALS.&quot;</p><p>&quot;After almost thirty years of conducting clinical studies in ALS I am personally very encouraged and excited by the trial results.&quot; stated Anthony J. Windebank M.D, Professor of Neurology and Director for Discovery, Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine. &quot;There are positive efficacy signals with clear indications to proceed to the next phase. We at Mayo clinic will be eager to move ahead with that as soon as possible.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Patients in the Brainstorm study tolerated treatment extremely well and there were no serious adverse events related to therapy. The safety profile certainly provides the opportunity to continue to study this approach to ALS treatment.&quot; stated Carlayne E. Jackson, MD, FAAN, Professor of Neurology and Otolaryngology, Chief Medical Officer - UT Medicine San Antonio, University of Texas Health Science Center who served as the chair of the Data Safety Monitoring Board on this study.</p><p>&quot;I would like to thank the patients who participated in this clinical trial as well as the investigators, DSMB members and all those who contributed to the successful completion of this trial. These data give us valuable insights into the beneficial treatment effect with NurOwn&quot; stated Chaim Lebovits, CEO of BrainStorm. &quot;This study met its objectives, demonstrating both the safety of NurOwn and its ability to provide clinical benefit to ALS patients, and most importantly, will help us to determine the study population and design for a pivotal study of multiple doses of NurOwn in ALS.&quot;</p><p>Study Design The Phase 2 trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NurOwn in 48 ALS patients. It was conducted at three sites in the U.S: Massachusetts General Hospital, UMass Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. Patients were randomized to receive NurOwn cells administered via combined intramuscular and intrathecal injection (n= 36), or placebo (n=12). They were followed monthly for approximately three months before treatment and six months following treatment, assessed at 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study was safety and tolerability. The pre-specified efficacy analyses were: change in the slope of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) score, change in Slow Vital Capacity (SVC) and muscle strength, responder analysis (the percentage of subjects who improved post-treatment compared with pre-treatment), and a subgroup analysis excluding slowly progressing patients who are less likely to have a detectable benefit from NurOwn. Given the exploratory nature of this study, statistical significance was defined as a one-sided p value &lt;0.1 using Fisher&#39;s exact test.</p><p>ALSFRS-R Responder Analysis, Intent-to-Treat Population The pre-specified responder analysis examines both percentage improvements and absolute point improvement per month in post treatment ALSFRS-R slope compared to pre-treatment slope. The first of these looked at patients who achieved 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%improvement. Neurologists view a 25% improvement in slope as at least somewhat clinically meaningful, and a 50% improvement in slope as very clinically meaningful (Castrillo-Viguera et al, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 2010; 11: 178_180)2.</p><p>Across all definitions of &quot;responder&quot; and at all except one timepoint studied, a higher percentage of NurOwn-treated subjects were responders compared to placebo. As an example, at week 12 (post-treatment), 40% of subjects in the NurOwn arm, versus just 17% of placebo subjects, experienced an improvement in the ALSFRS-R slope post-treatment compared to pre-treatment of at least 50%.</p><p>The chart below shows the benefit seen in NurOwn treated patients; responders were defined using a very high threshold of 100% improvement in the slope post-treatment compared to the pre-treatment slope, meaning a subject needed to have stable disease or improve to be defined as a responder. The chart below demonstrates both the near-term and long-term benefit of NurOwn treated subjects as compared to placebo.</p><p>When response to treatment was evaluated based on the absolute point improvement/month in ALSFRS-R post treatment slope compared to pre-treatment slope over time, again there was strong evidence of a NurOwn treatment effect. The chart below shows the results for patients who achieved a 1.5 or greater point improvement per month in the ALSFRS-R slope out to 24 weeks, demonstrating a benefit in favor of NurOwn at each time point and that was statistically significant at 4, 12 and 16 weeks.</p><p>ALSFRS-R Responder Analyses, Faster-Progressing Subgroup Given that NurOwn is thought to slow disease progression, a pre-specified subgroup was defined in order to exclude subjects whose disease was progressing slowly (defined by an ALSFRS-R slope of -0.7 or higher during the pre-treatment phase). These subjects would be less likely to have a detectable benefit from NurOwn. The more rapidly progressing subgroup, comprising approximately half of the subjects in the study, showed a marked benefit from NurOwn treatment: 94% of those treated with NurOwn (n=18) achieved 100% improvement in slope at 2 weeks, compared to only 20% in the placebo (n=5) group (p = 0.0027)(1). At 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 weeks the proportion of responders in the active treatment group compared to placebo were 78% vs. 20%, 44% vs. 20%, 39% vs. 17%, 33% vs. 0% and 22% vs. 0%. The figure below displays these results.</p><p>Biomarker Analysis Cerebral-spinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected from patients, as specified in a protocol amendment, after the first 8 patients had already been treated. A total of 35 samples from pre- and post-transplantation visits were available for analysis. Levels of neurotrophic factors and inflammatory factors in each sample were measured. A statistically significant increase in levels of VEGF and HGF from pre- to post-transplantation was observed in the samples of those patients who responded to NurOwn. There was also a statistically significant reduction in inflammatory markers (MCP-1 and SDF-1) over this period, in patients treated with NurOwn that was not observed in the placebo group.</p><p>Safety</p><p>NurOwn was found to be safe and well tolerated with the majority of adverse events being mild or moderate.</p><p>There were no deaths reported in the study and no patients discontinued participation because of an adverse event. All patients in both active treatment and placebo groups experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event. Adverse events tended to be mild-to-moderate in intensity in both groups. Treatment-related adverse events, as determined by the blinded investigator, occurred slightly more frequently in active-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients, 97.2% vs. 75.0%. The largest differences in frequencies were for the localized reactions of injection site pain and back pain, and systemic reactions of pyrexia, headache, and arthralgia. The pattern of adverse events is consistent with a transient reaction to the transplantation. These adverse events were minor in nature and self-limiting. Post-therapy serious adverse events (SAEs) tended to occur more frequently in active-treatment patients (8/36, 22.2%) than in placebo patients (1/12, 8.3%). Most SAEs were related to progression of the underlying ALS, most commonly dysphagia. No SAEs were related to study treatment. The risk-benefit ratio for MSC-NTF cells remains positive.</p><p>(1) All efficacy analyses used a 1-sided alpha=0.10 test</p><p>(2) Clinical significance in the change of decline in ALSFRS-R, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. 2010; 11: 178_180. The validity of using a &quot;responder analysis&quot; and the level for which endpoint scores would be considered clinically meaningful in ALS patients was explored in a survey of 65 clinicians published in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 2010. &quot;All participants in this survey endorsed a 25% or higher change in the ALSFRS-R score as being at least somewhat clinically meaningful. Ninety three percent of participants viewed a 50% change in decline as being very clinically meaningful&quot;.</p><p>Conference Call Details:</p><p>Monday, July 18, 2016 @ 10:00am Eastern Time</p><p>US Toll Free: 888-452-4023Israel Toll Free: 1 80 924 5906International: 719-457-1512Conference ID: 5455376Webcast: http://public.viavid.com/index.php?id=120422</p><p>Replays, available through August 1, 2016 Toll Free: 877-870-5176International: 858-384-5517Conference ID: 5455376</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc .</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

2016 - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative
diseases, today announced financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015. Brainstorm filed its annual
report on Form 10-K reporting the results on March 9, 2016.</p><p>“2015 was a year
of continued progress and momentum for Brainstorm,” stated Chaim Lebovits, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. “We
achieved a number of important milestones including completion of enrollment and treatment of all patients in our ongoing Phase
2 trial investigating NurOwn ® in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We look forward to completing the final follow-up
patient visits and learning the results of this study within the next few months. As there are limited treatment options for patients
with ALS, we are hopeful that this study will move NurOwn ® another step closer to becoming a commercial treatment
for ALS.”</p><p>“Recently, in early 2016, we announced
an agreement with Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, to conduct the planned Phase 2 trial with NurOwn ® 
in ALS in Israel. This trial will explore the safety and efficacy of a multidose treatment with NurOwn, which is an important next
step in understanding the treatment effect. We were also very pleased to have the peer review publication of the results from our
prior Phase 1/2 and Phase 2a studies with NurOwn ® in JAMA Neurology. The data provide indication of clinically
meaningful benefit as reflected by a slower rate of disease progression in the period post treatment. Importantly, these were the
first published clinical data with stem cells that have been induced under culture conditions to produce neutrotrophic factors
(NTFs), with the potential to achieve a neuroprotective effect in ALS and modify the course of disease.”</p><p>Major Clinical Highlights for 2015
and early 2016:</p><p>&amp;middot; In January 2016, a peer-review paper was
published in the January 2016 online edition of JAMA Neurology, summarizing the results of the Phase 1/2 and Phase 2a clinical
studies with NurOwn ® in ALS patients. The data provides indication of clinically meaningful benefit as reflected
by a slower rate of disease progression in the 6 months post treatment follow-up period, as compared to the pretreatment run-up
period. To access this article, refer to</p><p>http://archneur.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2480881&amp;resultClick=3.</p><p>&amp;middot; U.S. Phase 2 double blind, placebo controlled,
ALS clinical trial:</p><p>o In August 2015, we completed enrollment of all 48 patients in our multicenter randomized, double-blind
placebo-controlled Phase 2 U.S. clinical trial of NurOwn ® in ALS.</p><p>o In October 2015, the last patient in this trial was treated.</p><p>o In November 2015, we announced positive DSMB (Data and Safety Monitoring
Board) review. The DSMB reviewed safety data collected
through a cutoff date in October 2015, which included 47 of the 48 patients enrolled in the study and, importantly, no treatment-related
serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. Beyond this, the DSMB did not identify any adverse events, lab abnormalities or significant
protocol deviations that would be cause for concern.</p><p>&amp;middot; Israeli Phase 2 ALS multi-dose clinical
trial:</p><p>o In January 2016, we announced that we entered into a collaborative agreement with the Hadassah
Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, to conduct the planned multi dose Phase 2 trial with NurOwn ® in ALS. The Hadassah
Medical Center Internal Review Board (“Helsinki committee&quot;) has already approved the application, which is now pending
Ministry of Health (MoH) approval.</p><p>&amp;middot; Israeli Phase 2a ALS clinical trial:</p><p>o In January 2015, we announced the final analysis of our Phase 2a ALS study, showing nearly all
subjects experienced clinical benefit from NurOwn ® (see above)</p><p>Major Corporate Highlights for 2015
and early 2016:</p><p>&amp;middot; In December 2015, we announced that, together
with Octane Biotech Inc., a Canadian company that focuses on clinical systems for cell and tissue therapy, we have made significant
progress toward the development of a novel bioreactor for industrial-scale manufacture of BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn ® neurotrophic-factor
secreting mesenchymal stem cells. The companies have completed key development activities related to the customization of specific
features of Octane&#39;s Cocoon™ instrumentation platform to enable efficient delivery of BrainStorm&#39;s NurOwn ® 
stem cell therapy.</p><p>&amp;middot; In December 2015, we announced the appointment
of Dr. Revital Geffen-Aricha as VP of R&amp;D.</p><p>&amp;middot; In November 2015, we announced that we
were awarded an additional $735,000 non-dilutive grant from Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist.</p><p>&amp;middot; In October 2015, we announced that we
have strengthened our intellectual property position, by being granted a patent for our NurOwn ® technology platform
– titled “Isolated Population of Cells, Methods of Generating Same, and Uses Thereof in the Treatment of CNS Diseases”.</p><p>&amp;middot; In September 2015, we announced the appointment
of Chaim Lebovits as Chief Executive Officer.</p><p>&amp;middot; In July 2015, we announced the appointment
of Yoram Bibring as Chief Financial Officer.</p><p>&amp;middot; In January 2015, we announced entering
into a Warrant Exercise Agreement for approximately $13 million; also, we announced approximately $3.1 million, gross received
from Warrant Exercises.</p><p>Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2015</p><p>Net R&amp;D expenses for the fourth quarter
of 2015 were $0.8 million, compared with $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily the result
of decreased U.S. clinical trial expenses. In the fourth quarter, general and administrative expenses for 2015 totaled $0.6 million,
compared with $1.0 million in 2014. This was driven by decreased stock-based compensation expenses related to cancellation
of employee stock options of the previous CEO of the Company. Net loss was $1.4 million or $0.07 loss per share, versus $2.7
million or $0.18 loss per share in 2014.</p><p>Financial Results for the Year Ended
December 31, 2015</p><p>Gross R&amp;D expenses for the year totaled
$6.3 million compared with $6.1 million for 2014, primarily the result of increased U.S. clinical trial costs partially offset
by reduced costs in Israel. Net of support from the Office of the Chief Scientist, R&amp;D expenses for the year were $4.9
million in 2015 and $4.8 million in 2014. General and administrative expenses for 2015 totaled $3.6 million, compared with
$2.6 million in 2014. This was driven by increased payroll expenses due to the hiring of a new CEO in June 2014, his replacement
in September 2015 as well as a new CFO in July 2015. In addition, the Company’s investor relations costs increased as well
as its Franchise Tax expenses. Financial income in 2015 was negligible compared to financial expense of $1.8 million in 2014
as a result of the re-valuation of certain warrants issued to investors in the August 2013 public offering.</p><p>Net loss for the year ended December 31,
2015, was $8.5 million, or $0.46 per share, compared with a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.68 per share, for the year ended December
31, 2014. The number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015 was 18,643,288. As of December 31, 2015, BrainStorm
had $15.96 million dollars in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, compared with $8.5 million dollars at year-end 2014.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics,

The topline results from these two clinical trials were previously announced by Brainstorm on January 5 th, 2015 and presented in a poster at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting in April 2015.</p><p>&quot;We are pleased to have these clinical data selected for publication in JAMA Neurology,&quot; stated Chaim Lebovits, CEO of Brainstorm. &quot;The data from the studies described in this paper confirm the excellent safety profile of NurOwn® in ALS and the observed improvements in the rate of disease progression, as measured by two well established endpoints, suggest a clinically meaning effect. The results have informed the design of our ongoing placebo-controlled multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial as well as our planned multidose trial, which we hope will provide further and more substantive evidence on the benefits of NurOwn.&quot;</p><p>HMO Principal Investigator Dr. Karussis commented on the JAMA study findings: &quot;The results were impressive with close to 90% of patients who were injected intrathecally through the spinal cord fluid being responders to the treatment (by at least 25%) either in terms of their respiratory function or motor disability. Almost all of the patients injected in this way showed slower progression or improvement in their respiratory or motor function. The ongoing Phase 2 double blind trial in the U.S. is using an identical treatment protocol.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Although this treatment does not represent a cure for ALS at this stage, our data provide strong indications of clinically meaningful beneficial effects,&quot; continued Dr. Karussis. &quot;I am confident that in the near future we may provide a treatment to ALS patients that can stop the progression and induce some kind of recovery. I see this treatment as having the potential to become one of the major clinical tools to treat degenerative diseases of the brain and spinal cord, in general.&quot;</p><p>NurOwn was found to be safe and well tolerated over the study follow up period in the twenty six patients treated across the two clinical trials. Most of the adverse events were mild and transient and there were no treatment related adverse events.</p><p>The efficacy results demonstrated indications of clinically meaningful benefits in those patients that received intrathecal (IT) treatment with NurOwn. In the subgroup of patients treated IT or IT plus intramuscular (IM) injections, the investigators also conducted a post hoc comparison that looked at the progression rate of the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALS-FRS-R) score and of respiratory function as measured by Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in the pretreatment versus post treatment periods. This analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the progression of FVC and a trend (very close to statistical significance) in the improvement in the rate of ALS-FRS-R progression. The rate of progression of FVC was reduced from -5.1% to -1.2% per month during the six month follow up period versus the pretreatment period (p&lt;0.036). The rate of progression on the ALS-FRS-R score was reduced from -1.2 to 0.6 points per month during the same period (p=0.52).</p><p>In the same subgroup of patients (IT or IT+IM), in those with 3 months follow up (n=18), 78% (n=14) were considered responders to therapy. Response was defined as a post treatment improvement in the slope of at least 25% to either ALS-FRS-R score or FVC. In those with 6 months follow up (n=15), 87% (n=13) were considered responders. At six months, 80% of patients (n=12) had improved by more than 35% and 67% of patients (n= 10) improved by more than 50%.</p><p>The investigators also looked at changes in muscle mass (estimated by 3 dimensional MRI) and in compound motor axon potential (CMAP) during the six month post treatment period compared with those in the run-in period. The MRI analysis revealed a reduced rate of decline in muscle mass in the right arm, the site of NurOwn administration as compared to the left arm. Electromyography demonstrated a similar favorable effect in the decline of CMAP in the right arm.</p><p>About the Phase 1/2 and Phase 2a Trials</p><p>The trials were open label proof of concept studies that enrolled ALS patients between June 2011 and October 2014 at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. All patients were followed for up to three months prior to transplantation with NurOwn and six months after transplantation. In the Phase 1/2 part, six patients with ALS and moderate disability (ALS FRS score &gt;30) received NurOwn intramuscularly (IM) and six patients with more advanced disease were dosed intrathecally (IT). In the Phase 2a dose escalating study, fourteen patients with ALS and moderate disability received a combined IM and IT dose of NurOwn. The primary endpoint of the studies were safety and tolerability of NurOwn. Secondary endpoints included the effects of the treatment on various clinical measurements, such as the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALS-FRS-R) score and respiratory function as measured by Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).</p><p>To access the full paper, go to http://archneur.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx.</p><p>Conference Call, Monday, January 11, 2016 at 10:45am ET/7:45amPT</p><p>Brainstorm is hosting a conference call today, during which Mr. Chaim Lebovits will provide an update to shareholders and discuss important company developments.

This study has attracted much interest from both patients and physicians, and we anticipate it to give us valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of NurOwn® in ALS. Given the limited treatment options for patients with ALS, we are hopeful that this study will move NurOwn® another step closer to becoming a treatment for ALS.&quot;</p><p>Merit Cudkowicz, MD, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, Director of the ALS Clinical at Massachusetts General Hospital ALS Clinic, and a principal investigator for the trial, stated, &quot;I want to thank the participants and their families for being part of this study and helping develop new therapies for ALS. Completion of enrollment is a very important milestone. We look forward to completing close follow-up and learning the results of this study.&quot;</p><p>This multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of a single combined intramuscular and intrathecal administration of MSC-NTF cells (NurOwn®) in early-stage ALS patients. After enrolling in the study, subjects are followed for a three months run-in period, during which their bone-marrow is harvested and mesenchymal stromal cells are isolated and expanded. Subjects are then randomized to receive either NurOwn® or placebo, after which they are followed for six months. The primary endpoint of the study is safety, and secondary endpoints are efficacy measures including the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), slow vital capacity (SVC), and grip strength. More information can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02017912.</p><p>In February 2015, the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) overseeing the trial completed its first safety review of the trial, and did not find any lab abnormalities, adverse events or significant protocol deviations that would be cause for concern.

Israel – May 14, 2015 – BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem
cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced financial results and provided a business update for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2015.</p><p>Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, Chief Executive
Officer of BrainStorm, stated, &quot;During the first quarter, we made good progress in our amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinical
development program for NurOwn®. We started the quarter by reporting positive top line results from our Israeli phase 2a trial,
and presented the study at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in April. Our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
phase 2 trial in the U.S. continues to enroll according to plan after a positive Data and Safety Monitoring Board review in February.
We have also had some important manufacturing developments in 2015. We are completing the validation of our cryopreservation process,
which will allow us to produce multiple doses of NurOwn® from a single bone marrow aspiration, and we have demonstrated that
NurOwn® cells are stable for 72 hours after manufacture, which should enable, for future studies, transportation of NurOwn®
across substantial distances.”</p><p>“With regard to our finances, we
netted approximately $15 million in warrant exercises during the first quarter,” continued Dr. Fiorino. We believe these
funds, in addition to the $1.1 million grant from Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist, provide more than sufficient resources
to complete our U.S. phase 2 clinical trial in 2016, to run our planned multi-dose study, and to pursue additional research and
development initiatives including new clinical, preclinical and manufacturing projects.”</p><p>Financial Results for the Quarter
Ended March 31, 2015</p><p>Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
were $21.3 million at March 31, 2015, compared with $8.5 million at December 31, 2014, an increase driven by proceeds received
from warrant exercises in the first quarter and grants received, offset by operating expenses.</p><p>Net loss for the first quarter of 2015
was $2.2 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter of 2014.</p><p>For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we
reported total operating costs and expenses of $2.2 million, compared with $1.0 million a year ago. Research and development costs
in the quarter were $1.2 million, up from $680,000 in the first quarter of 2014, an increase driven primarily by costs associated
with the U.S. phase 2 clinical trial. General and administrative costs in the quarter were $960,000, compared to $351,000 in the
first quarter of 2014. This increase was driven by increases in payroll, travel, Delaware franchise tax, stock costs, and an increase
of $236,000 in stock-based compensation costs.</p><p>Financial expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2015 was $31,000, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was mainly attributed
to the revaluation of warrants issued to investors in an August 2013 public offering. As of January 6, 2015, these warrants had
been exchanged, redeemed or exercised, thus the liability related to the warrants has been cancelled.</p><p>Conference Call &amp; Webcast</p><p>The Company will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EDT/5:30

At six months post-treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement in the estimated rate of decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), from -5.1% per month pre-treatment to -1.2% per month post-treatment (two-sided p=0.036) and a nearly significant improvement in the rate of ALS Functional Rating Score-Revised (ALSFRS-R) decline, from -1.2 points per month pre-treatment to -0.6 points per month post treatment (two-sided p=0.052).</p><p>Also being reported for the first time are local positive effects of intramuscular administration. 3D volumetric analysis using MRI revealed an improvement in the rate of decline in muscle mass in the right arm, the site of NurOwn® administration, through one month post-treatment, as compared to the left arm. Electromyography demonstrated a trend of stabilization of the compound motor axon potential in the right musculocutaneous nerve as compared to deterioration observed in the left.</p><p>BrainStorm&#39;s CEO Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, commented &quot;These results represent further validation for our NurOwn® platform. In this study, we observed a large and clinically meaningful benefit after treatment with NurOwn®. Moreover, our analysis of subjects who received IT administration in our two completed trials showed a statistically significant improvement in the rate of FVC decline, and a nearly significant improvement in the rate of ALSFRS-R decline, at six months post-treatment, a notable achievement given the small sample size. With our US phase 2 trial now more than half-enrolled and a multi-dose study being planned, BrainStorm is well-positioned to confirm and extend these findings over the coming year.&quot;</p><p>Professor Dimitrios Karussis of Hadassah University Medical Center, the principal investigator for the study, stated &quot;We have observed in our two studies clear indications that a single intrathecal administration of NurOwn® can induce clinically meaningful beneficial effects in ALS patients. In these studies, 88% of subjects with 3 months follow-up and 73% of those with six months follow-up responded to the cells, showing a post-treatment improvement in either ALSFRS-R or FVC, or both. We eagerly await the results of current and planned studies that will define the safety and efficacy profile of NurOwn®, and we are particularly hopeful that the administration of repeated doses will increase the magnitude or duration of benefit, or both.&quot;</p><p>For full details of the study and results, a pdf version of the poster will be available on our website at www.brainstorm-cell.com.</p><p>Presentation Details</p><p>Poster: P2.059 &quot;Autologous Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secreting Neurotrophic Factors (Nurown™) in ALS: Results of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial&quot;</p><p>Session Date/Time: Session P2, Tuesday April 21, 2015, 7:30am to 12:00pm (EST)</p><p>Location: Walter E.

The study met its primary objective in demonstrating that IT (up to 2 million cells/kg) and IM (up to 48 million cells to the upper arm) administration of NurOwn® cells was safe and well-tolerated. Subjects in the study experienced clinically meaningful improvements in the rate of disease progression, as assessed by both ALSFRS-R (mean baseline score of 40) and FVC (mean baseline of 93% of predicted). After administration of NurOwn®, the rate of progression improved from -1.41 points per month during the run-in period to -0.60 points per month for the six months following treatment. A similar effect was observed for percent-predicted FVC, where the pre-treatment decline of 2.60% per month improved to a decline of 0.86% per month for the six months following treatment.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

million, compared with $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily the result of increased U.S.
clinical trial expenses. In the fourth quarter, general and administrative expenses for 2014 totaled $1.0 million, compared with
$0.5 million in 2013. This was driven by increased stock-based compensation, fees associated with uplisting to NASDAQ, and
increased payroll. Financial expenses were $0.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared with income of $0.2 million in the
fourth quarter of 2013. Net loss was $2.7 million, versus $1.2 million in 2013.</p><p>Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2014</p><p>Gross R&amp;D expenses for the year totaled $6.1 million compared
with $4.0 million for 2013, primarily the result of increased U.S. clinical trial costs partially offset by reduced costs in Israel. 
Net of support from the Office of the Chief Scientist, R&amp;D expenses for the year were $4.8 million in 2014 and $2.9 million
in 2013. General and administrative expenses for 2014 totaled $2.7 million, compared with $2.1 million in 2013. This
was driven by increased stock-based compensation, fees associated with uplisting to NASDAQ, and increased payroll. Financial
expenses for 2014 totaled $1.8 million as a result of the re-valuation of certain warrants issued to investors in the August 2013
public offering. This compared with income of approximately $144,000 in 2013.</p><p>Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $9.3 million,

The weighted average number of shares outstanding at year end 2014 was 13.7 million, compared with 10.7 million shares at year
end 2013. As of December 31, 2014, BrainStorm had $8.5 million dollars in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits,

Across all the measures, including assessments of repeated self-grooming, social interaction and cognitive rigidity, NurOwn™ cells demonstrated marked behavioral benefits in BTBR mice after a single treatment, as compared to control group, which consisted of BTBR mice treated only with vehicle.</p><p>NurOwn™ cells performed particularly well in an important assessment of reversal of learning. This test evaluates the time it takes to the mice to maneuver in a water maze after the maze was first learned and then altered. In this cognitive rigidity test, NurOwn™-treated BTBR mice adapted quickly to the new conditions, taking 60% less time than the control BTBR mice to relearn the maze (p=0.016). Notably, the cognitive rigidity and social grooming behavior of the treated BTBR mice were similar to those behaviors observed in a normal mouse strain (C57/BL).</p><p>BrainStorm&#39;s CEO Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, stated &quot;These are exciting results from a program we just launched in 2014. The prevalence of autism-spectrum disorders continues to grow, yet with no approved treatments and a limited number of promising drugs in development. We have seen in these mouse studies an impressive consistency of response across many different behavioral measures, with a particularly strong result on cognitive rigidity, and impressively, the apparent normalization of some behaviors. With these results in hand, we are already putting next steps in place for this program.&quot;</p><p>Professor Offen, PhD, commented &quot;In light of our recent clinical studies providing promising evidences for safety and efficacy of NurOwn™ in ALS patients, the outstanding effect of these cells in this pre-clinical model highlights the platform&#39;s potential as a treatment for autism as well.&quot;</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of first-of-its-kind adult stem cell therapies derived from autologous bone marrow cells for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Of the 12 subjects with three or more months of follow-up, 92% experienced an improvement in the rate disease progression for the three month period after administration of NurOwn™, as measured by ALS Functional Rating Score-Revised (ALSFRS) or forced vital capacity (FVC). Fifty percent had an improvement in the slope of the ALSFRS score, and 67% had an improvement in the slope of the percent-predicted FVC.</p><p>NurOwn™ slowed the progression of ALS in this study, as indicated by an improving slope of both the mean ALSFRS and mean FVC curves after therapy. On ALSFRS, NurOwn™ slowed the rate of progression by 45%, from 1.41 points per month during the run-in period to 0.78 points per month for the three months following treatment, and by 57% to 0.60 per month for the six months following treatment. NurOwn™ had a similarly strong effect on the progressive loss of lung function – the rate of decline in percent-predicted FVC was reduced by 73%, from an average of 2.60% per month during the run-in period to just 0.70% per month for the three months after treatment, and by 67% to 0.86% per month for the six months following treatment.</p><p>&quot;We are gratified to have the final data from this study and are very encouraged by the results,&quot; commented BrainStorm&#39;s CEO Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD. &quot;This study not only extends our earlier phase 1/2 findings regarding the safety of NurOwn™, but also provide a consistent and highly promising picture of NurOwn&#39;s efficacy. In particular, I would highlight that we observed not only a highly meaningful reduction in ALS progression on mean ALSFRS and FVC, but we saw subjects with prolonged stabilization and even improvements in function, and all this was achieved with just a single dose of NurOwn™. We are excited to proceed to a multi-dose study to see if these positive results can be amplified and extended by administering repeated doses.&quot;</p><p>Professor Dimitious Karussis of Hadassah Medical Center and the principal investigator of the trial, noted &quot;This is the second study of NurOwn™ I have completed in ALS patients, and my excitement for these cells as a possible treatment for ALS continues to grow. I am impressed by the consistency of benefit of IT administration we have seen in both studies, and we saw in this study that almost every subject experienced clinical benefit, either on ALSFRS, FVC or both measures. I believe that if future studies demonstrate a similar magnitude of benefit, NurOwn™ will become an important treatment option for patients suffering from ALS.&quot;</p><p>About the Phase 2a Study</p><p>This was a single-arm, dose escalating study of NurOwn™ (also referred to as MSC-NTF cells) in ALS (see https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01777646 for more study details). The study enrolled 14 early-stage ALS patients into three ascending dose cohorts; each subject received NurOwn™ cells via IT and IM administration after a three month run-in period, and was then followed for six additional months after treatment. Subjects in this study were assessed at monthly visits by ALSFRS score and for respiratory function by FVC. The rate of decline for these measures was determined by calculating the slope of the linear regression line for the run-in period, the three month follow-up period, and the six month follow-up period.</p><p>Conference Call Information</p><p>Monday, January 5, 2015 at 8:30 AM Eastern Standard Time</p><p>US Toll Free: Israel Toll Free: Other International: Conference ID: Webcast:</p><p>888-401-4668 180-924-5906 719-325-2495 6267823 https://viavid.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1051486</p><p>A replay will be available through January 19, 2015:</p><p>Toll Free:International: Replay PIN:</p><p>877-870-5176858-384-55176267823</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

at 8.30 AM EST</p><p>NEW YORK, PETACH TIKVAH (Israel) 
– November 13, 2014 - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative
diseases, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014.</p><p>Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, Chief Executive
Officer of BrainStorm, commented, “The third quarter was extremely productive from a clinical as well as operational perspective.
We added a second site to our phase 2 ALS study and received FDA clearance for manufacturing at our third site, and enrollment has
moved along as planned. Also in the quarter, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to NurOwn™ in ALS, which will allow us
to work with the FDA toward approval of our therapy in the most expeditious manner possible. In Israel, we had the last follow-up
visit for the last subject enrolled in our phase 2a ALS trial at Hadassah, and we are now analyzing the full data set. Finally,
we have begun to design a multi-dose study of NurOwn™ that will allow us to gain very important safety and efficacy data
for both multiple doses and for the use of frozen cells.” Dr. Fiorino continued, “On top of these important clinical
developments, we had a successful uplisting to NASDAQ during the quarter, which we believe we will bring broadened awareness of
BrainStorm’s progress and potential that will translate into improved liquidity and access to a broader investor base.”</p><p>Corporate Highlights</p><p>&amp;middot; Continued to enroll patients in the ongoing,
placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial investigating NurOwn™ in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).</p><p>o Enrolled thirteen subjects to date, with enrollment expected to run through the third quarter of
2015.</p><p>o Added a second clinical site, University of Massachusetts, Worcester. Both Massachusetts clinical
sites are now running at full capacity.</p><p>o Received FDA clearance for manufacturing at BrainStorm’s third site.</p><p>&amp;middot; Completed the final follow-up visit with
the last subject in the NurOwn™ phase 2a trial in Hadassah, Israel. Final results from this study are expected in the fourth
quarter of 2014 upon completion of statistical analysis.</p><p>&amp;middot; NurOwn™ granted Fast Track Designation
by FDA for the treatment of ALS.</p><p>&amp;middot; Strengthened intellectual property.</p><p>o A European patent was granted to BrainStorm, covering a method of production of BrainStorm’s
proprietary NurOwn technology for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases.</p><p>o Received a Notice of Allowance on a U.S. patent covering the use of mesenchymal stem cells that
secrete elevated levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor to treat CNS diseases.</p><p>&amp;middot; BrainStorm common shares commenced trading
on the NASDAQ Capital Market, under the symbol BCLI.</p><p>Financial Results for the Three and
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014</p><p>&amp;middot; As of September 30, 2014, the Company
had $10.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, compared to $3.5 million at year-end 2013, an increase primarily
attributable to the equity financing completed in June 2014, offset by cash used in operations.</p><p>&amp;middot; Research and development expenses were
$1.6 million in the third quarter 2014 and $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with $0.8 million in the third
quarter 2013 and $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2013. The increase is mainly due to the launch of the U.S. clinical
trial, offset in part by decrease expenses in Israel and by an increase in support received under BrainStorm’s grant from
the Office of the Chief Scientist.</p><p>&amp;middot; General and administrative expenses were
$0.9 million in the third quarter 2014 and $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared with $0.3 million in the third
quarter 2013 and $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2013. The third quarter increase was driven by an increase in non-cash
stock-based compensation of $410,000, fees associated with the uplisting to NASDAQ and increases in payroll.</p><p>&amp;middot; Net loss in the third quarter 2014 was
$2.4 million, or $0.16 per common share, as compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per common share, in the third quarter
of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, net loss was $6.5 million, or $0.50 per common share, compared to a net loss of $3.7
million, or $0.36 per common share, for the same period in 2013.</p><p>&amp;middot; The weighted average number of shares
outstanding was 15.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 10.9 million in the third quarter of 2013, mainly reflecting
the issuance of shares in BrainStorm’s June 2014 equity financing.</p><p>Conference Call &amp; Webcast</p><p>The Company will host a conference call today, Thursday, November

Pitts, former FDA Associate Commissioner and Executive Chairman of BrainStorm, will deliver two keynote addresses and lead two expert panel sessions:</p><p>Keynote Addresses:</p><p>Establishing an FDA Abraham Accords Office: Exploring regulatory policy frameworks to harmonize regulatory science, clinical trial collaboration, and therapeutic approvals across the Middle East and global markets.</p><p>Rethinking NIH Grants to Drive Industry and Academic Collaboration: Reengineering public research funding models to foster direct cooperation between academic institutions, biotechnology developers, and commercial stakeholders.</p><p>Session Moderations:</p><p>Translational Pharmaceutical Innovation: Moderating an expert panel on accelerating scientific discoveries from laboratory research to commercial stage patient care.</p><p>The Emerging Roles of Pharmacists: Leading a strategic session on the expanding responsibilities of pharmacists in modern healthcare delivery and advanced biopharmaceutical management.</p><p>In parallel with the three day conference, BrainStorm leadership will hold executive meetings with regional health regulators, commercial distribution partners, and international investment groups to discuss the strategic positioning of NurOwn® and the planned initiation of the Company&#39;s Phase 3b ENDURANCE trial under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the U.S. FDA.</p><p>“Peter&#39;s invitations to deliver these keynotes and moderate core sessions highlight his standing as an international expert on regulatory policy and health system innovation,” said Chaim Lebovits, President and CEO of BrainStorm. “As BrainStorm advances toward its Phase 3b trial launch and mainboard NASDAQ uplisting, engaging key stakeholders at DUPHAT will allow us to strengthen our global presence and explore strategic partnerships across the Middle East.”</p><p>About DUPHAT</p><p>Organized under the patronage of regional health authorities, the Dubai International Pharmaceuticals and Technologies Conference and Exhibition (DUPHAT) is the premier annual event for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors across the Middle East and Africa (MENA) region. Spanning over three decades, DUPHAT unites more than 31,000 healthcare professionals, health ministers, regulatory officials, biopharmaceutical executives, and academic researchers from over 100 countries. As a central platform for scientific exchange, regulatory alignment, and commercial partnership, the event features a multitrack scientific conference and exhibition dedicated to advanced drug development, translational innovation, and global regulatory science.</p><p>About NurOwn®</p><p>The NurOwn® technology platform (autologous MSC-NTF cells) represents a promising investigational therapeutic approach to targeting disease pathways important in neurodegenerative disorders. MSC-NTF cells are produced from autologous, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have been expanded and differentiated ex vivo. MSCs are converted into MSC-NTF cells by growing them under patented conditions that induce the cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTFs). Autologous MSC-NTF cells are designed to effectively deliver multiple NTFs and immunomodulatory cytokines directly to the site of damage to elicit a desired biological effect and ultimately slow or stabilize disease progression.</p><p>About BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.</p><p>BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: BCLI) is a leading developer of autologous adult stem cell therapies for debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. The company&#39;s proprietary NurOwn® platform uses autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to produce neurotrophic factor-secreting cells (MSC-NTF cells), designed to deliver targeted biological signals that modulate neuroinflammation and promote neuroprotection.</p><p>NurOwn® is BrainStorm&#39;s lead investigational therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and has received Orphan Drug designation from both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). A Phase 3 trial in ALS (NCT03280056) has been completed, and a second Phase 3b trial is set to launch under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the FDA. The NurOwn clinical program has generated valuable insights into ALS disease biology, including pharmacogenomic response associated with the UNC13A genotype, biomarker data collected at seven longitudinal time points, and a comprehensive analysis of the “Floor Effect,” a critical challenge in measuring clinical outcomes in advanced ALS. BrainStorm has published its findings in multiple peer-reviewed journals. In addition to ALS, BrainStorm has completed a Phase 2 open-label multicenter trial (NCT03799718) of MSC-NTF cells in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), supported by a grant from the National MS Society. BrainStorm is also advancing a proprietary, allogeneic exosome-based platform designed to deliver therapeutic proteins and nucleic acids. The company recently received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a foundational patent covering its exosome technology, further strengthening BrainStorm&#39;s growing IP portfolio in this emerging area of regenerative medicine.
