  • The company submitted the application in August after a correction was made to the Muscle and Nerve publication from December 2021 describing the results of NurOwn's Phase 3 trial in ALS following new clinical analyses, which strengthens the company's original conclusions from the trial.  
  • Price Action: BCLI shares are down 46.1% at $1.56 on the last check Thursday.
