NEW YORK, NY and PETACH TIKVAH, Israel / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2014 / BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) has granted the company patent number EP1893747, entitled "Isolated Cells and Populations Comprising Same for the Treatment of CNS Diseases." The European Patent Application will be published in the European Patent Bulletin 14/36 on September 3, 2014. This patent covers a method of production of the company's proprietary NurOwn™ technology, which consists of mesenchymal stem cells induced to secrete large quantities of neurotrophic factors, for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
"This patent complements the two US patents that BrainStorm secured in 2014, extending our intellectual property into Europe, which is clearly a major market for all of the neurodegenerative diseases that could be treated by NurOwn," commented Tony Fiorino, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. "For example, the prevalent ALS population in the European Union rivals that of the US." NurOwn(TM) has been studied in over thirty ALS patients in Israel and is currently being studied in a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled; double-blind phase 2 clinical trial in 48 ALS patients in the US.
BrainStorm has now been issued four patents on its NurOwn(TM) platform, with multiple additional patent applications pending in various jurisdictions. The company plans to continue to diligently pursue patent protection and market exclusivity for its NurOwn(TM) platform.
