Biodefense Stocks News: Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) CEO Note: Bill Gates on the Threat of Bioterrorism

Biodefense Stocks News: Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) CEO Note:  Bill Gates on the Threat of Bioterrorism




SAN DIEGO, CA (Investorideas Newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEMD), recently released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce.

In a chilling address at the Munich Security Conference last Saturday, Bill Gates warned world leaders that a genetically engineered virus could kill more people than nuclear weapons. Mr. Gates expressed his concern, which is also supported by U.S. and U.K. intelligence agencies, that scientific terrorists have access to the necessary tools to design biological viruses to be weapons that could kill tens of millions of people. He also concluded that in the face of such knowledge, governments around the world remain complacent and are neither prepared nor equipped to respond to these threats.

If you are a shareholder of Aethlon Medical, you may recognize the concerns of Mr. Gates to be eerily similar to our own. As a recent example, I encourage you to review the bioterror related article that we published last year on the 21st of December.


For those dedicated to the advancement of bioterror treatment solutions, Mr. Gates is a welcome and respected voice with the visibility, influence and knowledge to recognize that therapeutic innovation will be required to counter deadly viruses created by man.

If bioterrorists were to release such a virus, I am sincerely unaware of a clinical-stage candidate beyond our Hemopurifier® that could be deployed as a post-exposure treatment countermeasure.

The void in bioterrorism treatment countermeasures is driven by a historic emphasis to align a disease-specific drug or vaccine which only targets one specific pathogen threat. Such strategies have had limited success against the breadth of threats that are known to be infectious to man and cannot be considered as a strategy to treat unknown viruses created by man.

In reality, only a fraction of the 300+ viruses known to be infectious to man are addressed with an FDA-cleared drug or vaccine.  Since 2001, our government has spent an estimated $80 billion on biodefense initiatives, yet just one of 13 viruses classified as "Category A" are addressed with an approved therapy.  "Category A" pathogens are those biological threats that pose the highest risk to national security and public health.  In addition, these types of viral pathogens maintain the potential to be genetically engineered to be used as weapons that are even more deadly and resistant than those viruses that are naturally occurring.

Our Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical technology currently being advanced in FDA approved studies.  In previous studies, our technology has demonstrated the ability to capture a wide range of bioterror related, pandemic, chronic and latent infectious viral pathogens.

We believe the Hemopurifier® can fulfill the broad-spectrum medical countermeasure objective of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise (PHEMCE).  This initiative is directed toward bioterror, pandemic threats and other pathogens that are not well addressed with traditional drug or vaccine therapies.

A little more than a decade ago, we were invited to attend an international scientific symposium hosted by the National Center for Biodefense. At the time, our Hemopurifier® was still a development-stage vision. Regardless, the keynote speaker, who formerly led the Soviet Union's biological weapons program, emphasized our approach to be the only way to counter the breadth of viruses that could emerge naturally through mother nature or be created by man as agents of bioterror.

We never forgot that statement.




About the Aethlon Hemopurifier®
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical technology currently being advanced in FDA approved studies as a broad-spectrum treatment countermeasure against infectious viral pathogens.  Named a "Top 25 Invention" and one of the "Eleven Most Remarkable Advances in Healthcare," by TIME Magazine, the Hemopurifier® has previously been administered to individuals infected with Ebola virus, Hepatitis C virus and the Human Immunodeficiency virus, which leads to HIV AIDS.

Beyond human treatment experiences, pre-clinical Hemopurifier® studies have validated the capture of Chikungunya, Dengue, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, West Nile and Zika virus, as well as Vaccinia and Monkey pox, which serve as models for human Smallpox infection.  Specific to pandemic influenza threats, Aethlon has validated the capture of H5N1 avian flu, H1N1 swine flu, and the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus, which represents a model for the strain of influenza that killed an estimated 50 million victims in 1918 and 1919.

The Hemopurifier has also been demonstrated to capture Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Herpes Simplex virus 1 (HSV1), which are latent viruses often associated with increased mortality in immune-suppressed sepsis patients.  These pathogens also contribute to organ rejection in transplant patients.  To validate treatment performance, the Hemopurifier is supported by the HP Virus Capture Assay, which quantifies the number of viruses captured within the Hemopurifier and no longer circulating in the patient.

About Aethlon Medical
Aethlon Medical (AEMD) is a leading developer of immunotherapeutic technologies to combat infectious disease and cancer.  To augment the body's natural immune defenses, the Aethlon Hemopurifier® eliminates life-threatening disease targets that are often shielded from the immune system and not well addressed by traditional drug therapies. The technology captures circulating viruses, bacterial toxins and cancer promoting exosomes through affinity attachment to a unique structure that cloaks these targets from immune detection. At present, the Hemopurifier® is being advanced under an FDA approved clinical study. Aethlon is also the majority owner of Exosome Sciences, Inc., a company focused on the discovery of exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and monitor life-threatening diseases.  Aethlon is part of the Russell Microcap® Index.  Additional information can be found online at www.AethlonMedical.com or you can connect with us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+.

New mining companies are both operating in Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and mining for copper and gold respectively.


New Biotech Companies Added:
Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS:ARNA) a biopharmaceutical company, discovers, develops, and commercializes novel drugs that target G protein-coupled receptors. The company offers BELVIQ, a drug used to treat chronic weight management in adults. One of the products under development is APD371, an agonist of the cannabinoid receptor 2 that is in Phase I single-ascending dose trial for the treatment of pain. The company also manufactures drug products under a manufacturing services agreement for Siegfried AG

Cara Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGM:CARA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing new chemical entities designed to alleviate pain and pruritus by selectively targeting peripheral kappa opioid receptors. Cara is developing a novel and proprietary class of product candidates that target the body's peripheral nervous system and have demonstrated initial efficacy in patients with moderate-to-severe pain without inducing many of the undesirable side effects typically associated with currently available pain therapeutics.

Cerulean Pharma Inc. (NasdaqGM:CERU) The Cerulean team is committed to improving treatment for people living with cancer. We apply our Dynamic Tumor Targeting™ Platform to create a portfolio of nanoparticle-drug conjugates (NDCs) designed to selectively attack tumor cells, reduce toxicity by sparing the body's normal cells, and enable therapeutic combinations. Our first platform-generated NDC clinical candidate, CRLX101, is in clinical trials in combination with other cancer treatments, all of which aim to unlock the power of combination therapy. Our second platform-generated NDC clinical candidate, CRLX301, is in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGM:CRBP) is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat rare, chronic, and serious inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. The Company's lead product candidate, JBT- 101, is a novel synthetic oral endocannabinoid-mimetic drug designed to resolve chronic inflammation, and fibrotic processes. In November 2016, Corbus reported positive topline data results from a Phase 2 study in diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, showing clear signal of clinical benefit with JBT-101. The Company recently completed a Phase 2 study of JBT-101 for the treatment of cystic fibrosis with topline data expected to be announced before the end of the first quarter of 2017. Additionally, JBT-101 is being evaluated in a Phase 2, 12-month open label extension study in systemic sclerosis, a Phase 2 study in skin-predominant dermatomyositis, with a 12-month open label extension study in dermatomyositis and another Phase 2 study in systemic lupus erythematosus planned to commence in the first quarter of 2017.

CTT Pharmaceutical Holdings Inc. (OTCQB:CTTH) principal asset is a unique and novel patented drug delivery technology, an orally administered, fast dissolving thin film (the "Wafer"). This technology platform will target both the human and veterinarian (pet) markets for treatment of many diseases including pain management. The Oral Thin Film (Wafer) formulation is protected by several Canadian and US Patents. CTT's oral fast dissolving drug delivery systems will consist of edible thin films (wafers) that dissolve without water, within a few seconds after placement in the mouth. The majority of drugs administered using our drug delivery system mirror injections in that they have the ability to enter the bloodstream quickly, are convenient and discrete, and can be administered anywhere. A faster absorption rate is achieved because the mouth contains a very thin mucosa and is extremely vascular. There is no bitter taste, no smoke inhalation as is the case with cannabis, and less degradation of medication (by bypassing the stomach) and most importantly lower dosage units are required given the efficacy of absorption. Patient compliance is improved, especially with those who have a fear of choking and/or are pediatric, geriatric or incapacitated patients who have difficulty swallowing. Most fast dissolving systems on the market today deliver anti-inflammatories, antihistamines and cough and breathing related medications. CTT believes that its Wafer technology will be one of the first to gain use in major markets such as pain management.
Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: INNV) is an emerging over-the-counter (“OTC”) consumer goods and specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the commercialization, licensing and development of safe and effective non-prescription medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women’s health and vitality and respiratory diseases. Innovus Pharma delivers innovative and uniquely presented and packaged health solutions through its (a) OTC medicines and consumer and health products, which we market directly, (b) commercial partners to primary care physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists, and (c) directly to consumers through our on-line channels, retailers and wholesalers. The Company is dedicated to being a leader in developing and marketing new OTC and branded Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) products. The Company is actively pursuing opportunities where existing prescription drugs have recently, or are expected to, change from prescription (or Rx) to OTC.

Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqCM: MATN) is a biopharmaceutical company seeking to realize the full potential of vascular targeted therapy (VTT) in oncology. VTT includes vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) such as the investigational drugs that Mateon is developing, and anti-angiogenic agents (AAs), a number of which are FDA-approved and widely used in cancer treatment. These two approaches have distinct yet complementary mechanisms of action. At Mateon, we believe that we can significantly improve cancer therapy by employing these two complementary approaches simultaneously. When utilized this way, VDAs obstruct existing blood vessels in the tumor leading to significant central tumor cell death while AAs prevent the formation of new tumor blood vessels. Mateon is committed to leveraging our intellectual property and the product development expertise of our highly skilled management team to enable VTT to realize its true potential and to bring much-needed new therapies to cancer patients worldwide.

Mirna Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGM: MIRN) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microRNA-based oncology therapeutics and is the first to bring a synthetic microRNA mimic into clinical development for the treatment of cancer. Mirna's lead product candidate, MRX34, a mimic of naturally occurring microRNA-34 (miR-34), is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial which has included patients with primary liver cancer, advanced solid tumors and hematological malignancies. miR-34 is one of the most widely published microRNAs and is considered a key regulator of multiple oncogenes across key oncogenic pathways, with the capacity to regulate more than 30 different oncogenes and repress immune checkpoint signaling molecules, including PD-L1. The potential capacity to simultaneously affect multiple pathways and processes that are critical to cancer cell viability may make mimics of tumor suppressor microRNAs an important new class of anti-cancer agents. Mirna plans to develop MRX34 as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies. The Company was founded in 2007 and is located in Austin, Texas.

Nivalis Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGM: NVLS) is a pharmaceutical company that has historically been focused on the discovery and development of product candidates for patients with cystic fibrosis, or CF. Our GSNOR inhibitors selectively target an enzyme known as S-nitrosoglutathione reductase, which we refer to as GSNOR. GSNOR regulates levels of an endogenous protein known as S-nitrosoglutathione, or GSNO.  Depleted levels of GSNO have been associated with CF, asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases and certain cardiovascular diseases. However, in light of recent disappointing results of a Phase 2 clinical trial of our lead product candidate, cavosonstat, in CF, we determined to not pursue the development of this compound in CF and to wind down our research and development activities as we shift our strategic emphasis to investigating and evaluating strategic alternatives.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NasdaqCM: ORMP) is a platform technology pioneer in the field of oral delivery solutions for drugs currently delivered via injection. Established in 2006, Oramed's Protein Oral Delivery (PODTM) technology is based on over 30 years of research by scientists at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center. Oramed is seeking to revolutionize the treatment of diabetes through its proprietary flagship product, an orally ingestible insulin capsule (ORMD-0801).  The Company completed multiple Phase II clinical trials of ORMD-0801 under an Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In addition, Oramed is developing an oral GLP-1 analog capsule (ORMD-0901).

ProMIS Neurosciences Inc. (TSX: PMN.TO) The mission of ProMIS Neurosciences is to discover and develop precision medicine therapeutics for effective treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease and ALS. ProMIS Neurosciences' proprietary target discovery engine is based on the use of two, complementary techniques.
