HAIFA, Israel, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluri, Inc. ("Pluri", the "Company", "we" or "us") (Nasdaq, TASE: PLUR), a leading biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary platform for cell-based solutions through a collaborative network of ventures, today announced expansion of its manufacturing agreement signed in 2024 with Remedy Cell Ltd. ("Remedy Cell"), an innovative biopharmaceutical company developing stem cell-derived, cell-free therapeutics for complex fibrotic conditions.

Under the ongoing collaboration Remedy Cell's personnel, along with Pluri's Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization ("CDMO") division (PluriCDMO™), have successfully completed the full implementation of Remedy Cell's proprietary manufacturing process into Pluri's state-of-the-art Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") facility, conducted GMP training and qualification for the Remedy Cell manufacturing team, executed engineering runs to confirm process robustness and scalability, and manufactured several clinical-grade batches of Remedy Cell's lead candidate. These batches are intended for use in Remedy Cell's initial Phase 1b clinical trial, representing a major step in its clinical development. This achievement reflects the strong synergy between Remedy Cell's innovative therapeutic platform and Pluri's advanced manufacturing facilities.

The completion of these activities demonstrates PluriCDMO™'s potential to serve complex cell-derived and cell-free processes with consistent, scalable, and regulatory-compliant manufacturing solutions. For Remedy Cell, this milestone marks tangible progress on its path toward clinical development and the realization of its mission to bring secretome-based therapies to patients with fibrotic diseases.

Building on this success, Pluri and Remedy Cell are now broadening the scope of their collaboration. PluriCDMO™ will continue to provide additional manufacturing and process-development support as Remedy Cell advances its clinical and pre-commercial programs. The expanded activity underscores the productive partnership between the teams and their shared commitment to advancing next-generation, cell-free biologics that address significant unmet medical needs.

"Working with Pluri has been highly productive," said Ayelet Dilion-Mashiah, Chief Executive Officer of Remedy Cell. "Pluri's expertise and professionalism have been invaluable in helping us reach this critical milestone. Completing our clinical-grade manufacturing and preparing for our first clinical trial is a defining achievement for Remedy Cell, and we look forward to continuing this productive partnership."

"We are proud to continue strengthening our agreement with Remedy Cell, working together to achieve every project milestone — from technology implementation and engineering runs to the successful manufacture of clinical-grade batches for their first human trial," said Yaky Yanay, Chief Executive Officer and President of Pluri. "Remedy Cell's scientific approach is highly innovative, and it has been a privilege to contribute to their progress. This success further positions PluriCDMO™ as a trusted partner for companies developing complex, cell-derived therapies."
