Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: PSTI; DAX: PJT) is a bio-therapeutics company dedicated to the commercialization of unrelated donor-patient (allogeneic) cell therapy products for the treatment of several severe degenerative, ischemic and autoimmune disorders. The Company is developing a pipeline of products derived from human placenta, a non-controversial, non-embryonic, adult stem cell source. The (PLacental eXpanded) cell products are stored off-the-shelf, ready-to-use, and require no histocompatibility matching.
These placental adherent stromal cells (ASCs) are expanded in the Company's proprietary PluriXTM 3D bioreactor system, which provides a 3D microenvironment that enables large-scale growth of these cells without the need for supplemental growth factors or other exogenous materials. PLX cells are immune privileged, possess immunomodulatory properties, and are expanded in vitro without showing signs of phenotypic or karyotypic changes. Pluristem believes that the PLX cells?mechanism of action may be related to the secretion of cytokines and/or other potent immune modulators.
Pluristem's first product, PLX-PAD (for the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease), received from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), the German competent authority in the European Union, clearance to begin a 揊irst-In-Human?placental-derived mesenchymal-like stromal cell clinical trial.
Pluristem has offices in the USA with research and manufacturing facilities in Israel.
