After its Biologics License Application was rejected twice by the FDA, BrainStorm’s Phase III data suggest its amyotrophic lateral sclerosis candidate significantly lowers neurofilament light chain levels.

Nearly two years after the FDA poured cold water on a potential regulatory bid for BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics’ NurOwn, the investigational ALS therapy will get a public hearing. 

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a leading developer of adult stem cell therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted a Type A meeting to discuss the contents of a refusal to file letter previously issued regarding the company’s New Biologics License Application (BLA) for NurOwn for the treatment of ALS. The Type A Meeting has been scheduled to occur on January 11, 2023.

BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics ran into another stumbling block with ALS hopeful NurOwn Thursday as the FDA issued a Refusal to File Letter for its Biologics License Application.

The biopharma world – and markets – spent Thursday evening reacting as the FDA gave the green light to only its third-ever drug for ALS, Amylyx’s AMX0035. 

In what has been a long time coming, Tel Aviv and New York-based BrainStorm announced Monday that it would submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for NurOwn as a potential treatment for ALS. Simultaneously, BrainStorm announced corrected analyses it says strengthen its original conclusions.
