Since the initiation of our Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in Europe and Israel, we are advancing our novel NG CELL™ platform to develop, manufacture, and deliver the next generation of cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
Our foundational science harnesses the NG platform’s ability to enhance stem cells by maximizing their remyelination factors secretions, neuronal protection and regenerative capabilities.
We are excited about delivering on the promise of remyelinating and regenerative cellular therapies, shaping the future of cellular medicine, and delivering new therapies to many unmet needs in the neurodegenerative diseases market.
NeuroGenesis will initiate a multi-center Phase IIb clinical trial (Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis) in 2025. We are currently working on the protocol for a Phase IIb in ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
