Exhibit 10.2

 

Amendment #2 to Sponsored Research
Agreement

 

This Amendment #2 to Sponsored Research
Agreement (this “Amendment #2”), executed on November 12, 2014 (“Agreement”), is made and entered into
as of February 16, 2017 (“Amendment #2 Effective Date”), by and between Medgenics Medical Israel, Ltd. (“SPONSOR”)
and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (“CHOP”).

 

RECITALS

 

Whereas SPONSOR and CHOP desire to amend
the Sponsored Research Agreement to extend the term of the Agreement and to increase the Budget of the Research Program.

 

Whereas any capitalized term not separately
defined in this Amendment #2 shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Agreement.

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the
mutual agreements, promises and covenants contained herein SPONSOR and CHOP hereby agree to amend the Sponsored Research Agreement
as follows:

 

1.                 
Section 3.1 of the Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

“Term. The term of this AGREEMENT shall begin on the
EFFECTIVE DATE and shall end on June 30, 2018. At SPONSOR’s Option, the term of this AGREEMENT shall automatically be extended
for additional one (1) year terms if SPONSOR gives written notice of extension by June 30, 2017, and each anniversary thereafter.
For the avoidance of doubt, if SPONSOR does not give written notice of extension by the applicable June 30 deadline, then the AGREEMENT
shall expire at the end of the then-current term (which would be the next June 30 to occur following the applicable June 30
deadline). By way of example, if SPONSOR gives written notice of extension by June 30, 2017, then the term of the AGREEMENT
will be extended through June 30, 2019, and if SPONSOR does not give written notice of extension by June 30, 2017, the AGREEMENT
will expire on June 30, 2018.”

 

2.                 
Invoice and Payment Schedule of Attachment B (Budget) as attached to Amendment #1 to Sponsored Research Agreement
dated December 18, 2015, is hereby supplemented by Attachment B to this Amendment #2 and thus the statement of work and budget
for Phase 3 is authorized through June 30, 2018. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the Budget for each one (1) year
extension will be $4,750,000, invoiced and paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments during the relevant extension year.

 

All other terms and conditions of the Sponsored
Research Agreement not amended herein shall remain in full force and effect. 

 

     

     

    

  

In witness whereof, SPONSOR and CHOP have
caused this Amendment #2 to be duly executed as of the Amendment #2 Effective Date.
