Pluri Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUR) (TASE:PLUR) ("Pluri" or "the Company"), a
leading biotechnology company that transforms cells into solutions,
today announced that its CDMO division (PluriCDMO™) has signed a
manufacturing agreement with Remedy Cell Ltd, an innovative,

Remedy Cell CEO, Ayelet Dilion-Mashiah, said, “This
is an exciting time at Remedy Cell as we initiate the early stages
of clinical development of our novel drug candidate, RC-0315, for
IPF, a condition with significant unmet treatment needs. We look
forward to the manufacture of our drug candidate at Pluri’s GMP
facilities and believe that their vast experience developing and
manufacturing cell therapies will accelerate our time to
market.”
Pluri CEO and President, Yaky Yanay, said, ”Remedy
Cell is an innovative company developing crucial treatments like
RC-0315 to address complex conditions with limited therapeutic
options. We are delighted that Remedy Cell has chosen PluriCDMO™ to
assist with their clinical manufacturing, and we eagerly anticipate
the establishment of a robust, long-term partnership grounded in
excellence and collaboration."

About Remedy
Cell
Remedy Cell Ltd., a biopharmaceutical company,
harnesses scientific advancements in cell-derived therapies to
develop first-in-class, breakthrough treatments for patients
suffering from complex fibrotic diseases. The company’s lead
product RC-0315 for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
(IPF) has accomplished very encouraging pre-clinical results and it
aims to reach first in human in early 2025. IPF is a serious
chronic disease that affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs,
or alveoli, in the lungs. IPF is an Orphan Disease that affects
100,000 patients in the US and approximately 110,000 patients in
Europe. There is currently no cure and IPF patients are not likely
to survive beyond 2-5 years from diagnosis. There is an urgent need
for a therapeutic treatment option that effectively degrades
fibrosis and restores lung function.
