After a day-long meeting that included impassioned testimony from ALS patients, the agency’s expert advisers voted 17-1 with one abstention that the case for NurOwn, a treatment from BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, was based too heavily on convoluted clinical trial results and compelling but unreliable anecdotal evidence.

“Patients and families need hope, but providing false hope can be ethically problematic,” said panelist Lisa Lee, a bioethicist at Virginia Tech. “False hope is provided when the probability of a positive outcome is overestimated, and I think that seems to be the case here.”
