What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
BrainStorm disclosed a near-term liquidity challenge with $0.2 million in cash as of 6/30/2026, while highlighting regulatory progress for NurOwn's Phase 3b ENDURANCE study under an FDA Special Protocol Assessment. The company appointed Peter Pitts as Executive Chairman to drive regulatory, operations, and capital-market initiatives, and disclosed a $0.4 million private placement in May 2026, bringing H1 2026 raises to about $2.4 million. Key catalysts include the ENDURANCE readout potential and SPA-backed ALS development, offset by persistent liquidity risk.
Peter Pitts named Executive Chairman; ENDURANCE Phase 3b readied under SPA with FDA.
ENDURANCE targets ~200 ALS patients in two 24-week parts; primary endpoint ALSFRS-R.
