"Given these data showing PLX-PAD's ability to improve muscle strength, the panelist believes that these cells have potential in treating other indications, such as sports injuries, surgical injuries, and traumatic muscle-related injuries," the analyst writes.
HC Wainwright says that given the ambiguities surrounding the efficacy of using SPPB to assess function following treatment with PLX-PAD, Pluristem plans to meet FDA to discuss an acceptable functional endpoint for the pivotal study.
The company plans to meet with both FDA and EMEA to gain clarity regarding the regulatory pathway during 2022. Awaiting further details on the regulatory pathway for PLX-PAD, the analyst expects management to provide further details during 2H22.
Price Action: PSTI shares are up 0.91% at $1.01 during the market session on the last check Friday.
