Pluristem Therapeutics Inc (PSTI)

If it were up to me, PSTI would make perhaps 1000 doses available at no cost all over the world on a compassionate use bases. The only requirement for each dose would be reporting the initial status of the patient, and an update of that status weekly into a database where all could see the outcome. Not nearly as controlled as a clinical trial, but a ton of anecdotal evidence of efficacy, if that's what it shows. All patients who gain access should be dealing with pneumonia that appears to be potentially headed toward a ventilator, or already be on a ventilator. My point is that such an effort should yield a great deal of information in under a months time as few if any patients outcomes won't be clear after a few weeks of receiving the drug.

We can get great results in 7 patients, or 70 patients, and people like Dr. Fauci will say we need clinical trials. Do it with 1000 patients and perhaps we stand a shot at the FDA saying, let's get this to everyone.
