BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has announced that the first patient was enrolled in its Phase II ALS trial at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston.

BrainStorm’s Phase II trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transplantation of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secreting Neurotrophic Factors ("MSC-NTF" or NurOwn™) in 48 ALS patients.

The trial is also being conducted at the University of Massachusetts Memorial (UMass) Hospital in Worcester, MA and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
