Possible explanation for the
difference in therapeutic effect
of 150 vs 300 million cells
22
Proprietary data of Pluristem Therapeutics Inc.
Difference in therapeutic effect of 150M vs 300M
23
•
This result could be explained by the relatively small sample
size and higher Day 0 values observed for the treatment
groups
•
No significant difference in efficacy detected between the
150M and 300M cell groups. The 2 treated groups did better
over the Placebo group.
•
Difference in the interactions between the cell and the
patient’s body and between the cells themselves depending
on the concentrations of the cells that are administered
