ALS advocate. NurOwn Works and should already have FDA approval.

Well said. Kade knew from his 1st injection it worked. We witnessed it w/our eyes. We received confirmation he received NurOwn & not placebo. He deserved a chance at more. I have much disdain for not just the FDA but those in this community who spoke against his chance at more.

Honored to call you friend & advocate beside you fighting for #NurOwn approval… not just for Matt & Kade but for thousands more. Fighting for the next group of moms who will hear their young child only has 2-5 years to live; so their child has a chance to get #NurOwn at Dx.
We are in the final days before the FDA AdCom on 9/27/2023. Our regulatory process here in the USA allows this extraordinary opportunity for NurOwn participants to provide written and verbal/video testimony of their trial experience to the committee.

My son was Dx at 21 & one of youngest in Ph 3 trial. While still blinded, he felt & functioned better on the T× than without. Please look at this collage & tell me that my son (who hasn't had an injection in 3 years &9 months) shouldn't get more. Early & juvenile onset is real.

I’m an open book. You can ask me anything. I have 2 wonderful boys… Kade is 25 & Kruz is 23. Kade was Dx at 21 & was one of the youngest in the Ph 3 trial. I know of 1 other 21-year old and he has since passed believing he rec’d placebo. Kade steadfastly believes he received Tx

Thank you @david_wainer for this story. My son was Dx with #ALS at 21 yo. He was in the Ph 3 #NurOwn trial and while the trial isn’t unblinded, he knows this treatment worked for him. Knew it from the 1st injection into his spine. It’s critical for the PLWALS to be heard.

My son had to be one of the youngest in the trial. 21 yo. He knew then & knows now that #NurOwn worked for him from the 1st injection. We saw evidence with our own eyes. #RWE #PRO #NurOwnWorks

In #NurOwn EAP, incomparable @sandymorris333 told everyone that #NurOwnWorks Sandy #DiedWaiting for "faster & more balanced decision-making" in this 100% fatal disease @FDACBER Let @KylanMorris1 share her mom's #RealWorldEvidence at an #ALS AdCom #SandysBaton @nicolecimbura

My son Kade was 21 in the Ph 3 #NurOwn trial is #DyingWaiting to hear how the Type A meeting went today @Cylebo. Will @FDACBER allow those with #RealWorldEvidence share their experience that #NurOwn slows/halts paralysis & has allowed some to restore function? #NoAdcommNoVoice

Come on my fellow #Okies. Very few people worldwide have been remotely close to a #NurOwn treatment. 4 incredible #Oklahomans have firsthand knowledge of what it’s like to receive this injection. Less than 10 people in the 🌎 know what it’s like to receive 6 doses. #LetThemSpeak – at Coral Terrace, FL
Will you help us shine a light on and amplify the voices of families in Oklahoma and across the country demanding to be heard and given more time with their loved ones @ScottPelley @KChenoweth? #EndALS #NotRare #NurOwnWorks iamals.org/action/sign-the-p…
