April 7 - Pluristem's Second Pre-Clinical Study in Ischemic Stroke Shows Statistically Significant Advantages in Functional and Anatomical Recovery

Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (NASD: PSTI) (DAX: PJT), a bio-therapeutics company dedicated to the commercialization of non-personalized (allogeneic) cell therapy products for a variety of degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune indications, announced that the results from Fraunhofer Institute’s additional pre-clinical study utilizing the company’s proprietary PLacental eXpanded (PLX) cells in treating ischemic stroke showed statistical significance utilizing functional as well as anatomical endpoints. PLX cells are mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) obtained from the placenta and expanded using Pluristem’s proprietary 3D PluriX™ technology.

Fraunhofer Institute’s scientists systemically injected PLX cells into spontaneously hypertensive rats that had undergone middle cerebral artery occlusion, a commonly accepted ischemic stroke model. The functional endpoints of improvement in beam walking and neurological severity score and the anatomical endpoint of reduction in infarct size reached statistical significance versus controls.

Zami Aberman, Pluristem’s president and CEO said: “We are very excited about the results and believe that utilizing our PLX product may successfully treat millions of ischemic stroke patients and lead to a multi-billion dollar market. This independent study, together with the previously announced favorable pre-clinical results of PLX cells to treat limb ischemia and blood cancer, give us a robust pipe line for developing new therapeutic products.”

The trial was conducted under the supervision of Professor Frank Emmrich, Head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI), Leipzig, Germany, a branch of the Fraunhofer Society.

Prof. Frank Emmrich stated, "PLX cells possibly show potential to become a new treatment for the functional recovery from a stroke. The data show that a double injection of PLX cells at two different time points significantly improve the functional recovery and reduce of size of the lesion compared to the control. However, these preliminary findings have to be confirmed and the running experimental series have to be completed before a final statement can be made. Additional optimization surrounding the administration of PLX cells will be required to supply clear evidence that PLX cells may help patients with ischemic stroke.”

ABOUT ISCHEMIC STROKE

Current estimates suggest ischemic stroke affects approximately 2 million patients annually worldwide with a large percentage dying or becoming permanently disabled.

TDLP News:

April 7 - Transdel Pharmaceuticals Advances Lead Topical Pain Drug into Phase 3 Program

Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: TDLP) announced that, based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") review of its Phase 3 submission, the company can initiate its Phase 3 clinical program for its novel topical cream based non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ("NSAID"), Ketotransdel(TM). Transdel Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company pursuing the development and commercialization of non-invasive topically administered medications.

Dr. Juliet Singh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transdel Pharmaceuticals, stated, "I am pleased to announce that the FDA has reviewed our February 7, 2008 FDA submission and has stated that it is safe to proceed with the Phase 3 program. The FDA also noted that there are no clinical hold issues and provided comments regarding the registration requirements of our lead drug. We will continue our discussions with the FDA regarding the final product approval requirements." Dr. Singh continued, "Advancing into Phase 3 clinical studies for Ketotransdel marks a significant milestone for the company. Our dedicated and committed team is focused on successfully advancing our topical drug to FDA approval."

Based on industry estimates, the market for NSAIDs and Cox-2 inhibitors exceeds $6 billion per year; more than 30 million people worldwide use NSAIDs daily. Due to the recognition of known risks associated with orally administered NSAIDs, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other medical complications, and the decline in the use of Cox-2 inhibitors because of safety concerns, Transdel believes that there is a significant demand for topical pain management products such as Ketotransdel. Moreover, the company expects that Ketotransdel, if approved by the FDA, could become the first topical NSAID cream product in the United States for acute pain management. The drug could address a significant unmet medical need for patients with medical conditions and those patients seeking safer alternatives to the standard pain management approaches.

In the second quarter of 2008, the company intends to initiate the randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 3 program to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ketotransdel in acute pain care management. The company also stated that in the near term it will be announcing organizational changes as the company transitions into late stage clinical phase.
