Biotech/Biodefense Stock News; ABC News Reports on Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD)
SAN DIEGO - April 20, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, disclosed today that it is the subject of an ABC news story that can be accessed online at: http://www.10news.com/news/27605561/detail.html
About Aethlon Medical
At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® inIndia
as we advance our clinical strategies in the United States and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy. Additional information regarding Aethlon Medical and Exosome Sciences can be accessed online at www.aethlonmedical.com.

Such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Aethlon Medical, Inc. to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the company's ability to commercialize its Hemopurifier® in India, capability of the Hemopurifier® to reduce viral loads and other disease conditions or to identify or treat disease conditions such as cancer or Hepatitis-C, including the ability to capture exosomes and the impact that potential ability may have on disease conditions, the Company's ability to raise capital when needed, the Company's ability to complete the development of its planned products, the ability of the Company to obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals permitting the sale of its products, the Company's ability to manufacture its products either internally or through outside companies and provide its services, the impact of government regulations, patent protection on the Company's proprietary technology, product liability exposure, uncertainty of market acceptance, competition, technological change, and other risk factors. In such instances, actual results could differ materially as a result of a variety of factors, including the risks associated with the effect of changing economic conditions and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

The unit can also create and maintain an isolation environment in a shelter up to 2,000 sq. feet, such as a mobile hospital or command center, up to required standards as proposed by the CDC.
RxAir (www.rxair.com) is a well-known and highly regarded manufacturer of high quality air purification equipment designed for applications within the medical and hospitality marketplace, and also includes products geared for specialized industrial applications, such as emergency preparedness. The RX6500 was one of three products included in the acquisition of the Company by UV Flu Technologies, but was never previously marketed due to capital constraints. The Company's two main products, the RX3000, which is the Company's best seller, provides air purification coverage in spaces up to 2000 sq. ft, while the RX4500, also known as the "Smoke Handler," is the preferred choice of hospitality establishments nationwide, and in a system of 2 units can protect spaces of up to 20,000 sq. feet, and can be connected to existing ductwork. Both units can remove more than 99.97% of airborne contaminants and pathogens greater than 0.3 micrometers in size, and are designed with exterior cabinetry able to match any décor.
"The RX6500 not only opens up huge new markets to us, it illustrates our capability to design, or alter our products for almost any application involving air purification," said Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "Given that RxAir products are manufactured here in the United States, we are taking steps to become eligible for bidding on military, as well as other government contracts. With all of the unrest in the World today, having a product that can clear a space up to 2,000 sq. ft, from poisonous or toxic gasses within minutes is an important tool to keep our citizens safe, whether from a terrorist threat, pandemic, or an industrial accident. Government or military buildings, schools, control rooms or hospitals are all potential markets for our products. Through continuous testing and product improvement, we plan to become recognized innovators in this multi-billion dollar air quality sector."
Further details regarding the Company's business, acquisitions, financial reports and agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.

Recent News: Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Discloses Interview on Therapeutic Strategies to Address Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV
http://www.investorideas.com/CO/AEMD/news/2011/04151.asp
At Aethlon Medical, we create revolutionary devices to address infectious disease and cancer. Our devices are designed to be novel platform solutions that fill therapeutic voids or aid in disease diagnosis and monitoring.
Our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device to selectively target the removal of infectious viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the entire circulatory system. We recently discovered that our Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of those afflicted with cancer. Prior to this discovery, a therapeutic strategy to directly inhibit or reverse the immunosuppressive destruction caused by exosomes did not exist in cancer care. By eliminating this mechanism, we believe our Hemopurifier® can fill an unmet clinical need and provide the benefit of an immune-based therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks to established and emerging treatment strategies.
Human studies have documented the ability of our Hemopurifier® to safely reduce viral load in both Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients without the administration of antiviral drugs. However, our initial clinical and commercialization focus is to establish our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to enhance the benefit of both infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens. In this regard, we plan to commercialize our Hemopurifier® in India as we advance our clinical strategies in the UnitedStates and the European Union. In vitro studies conducted by government and non-government research institutes have also verified that our Hemopurifier® has broad-spectrum capabilities against bioterror and emerging pandemic threats. These studies have confirmed the capture of Dengue Hemorrhagic Virus, Ebola Hemorrhagic Virus, Lassa Hemorrhagic Virus, West Nile Virus, H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus, 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, the reconstructed Spanish Flu of 1918 Virus, and Monkeypox Virus, which serves as a model for human Smallpox infection.
As a therapeutic device, the Hemopurifier® provides us with a pipeline into four significant market opportunities:
1.Cancer: A treatment candidate to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies by removing immunosuppressive exosomes from circulation.
2.Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV): As an adjunct therapy to accelerate viral load reduction at the outset of standard of care drug regimens.
3.Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): Provides a potential therapeutic option for HIV-infected individuals to manage disease progression once they become resistant to antiviral drug regimens.
4.Bioterror and Pandemic Threats: Represents the most advanced broad-spectrum strategy to address untreatable bioterror and emerging pandemic threats.
The Hemopurifier® is an expansive multi-patented platform technology whose mechanism of action can be leveraged to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, and biomarker discovery solutions. As a therapeutic, the Hemopurifier® is a single-use disposable cartridge designed for implementation within the established infrastructure of dialysis machines and other blood circulatory pumps already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
In design, our Hemopurifier® is a selective filtration device containing affinity agents that tightly bind to high-mannose structures unique to the surface of exosomes produced by cancer and glycoproteins residing on the envelope of viruses. These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device. The resulting design provides us the novel ability to separate both exosome and viral targets away from blood cells so they can then be selectively and permanently removed from the circulatory system. In application, blood circulation is established into the Hemopurifier® via a catheter or other blood access device. Once blood flow has been established, treatment benefit is immediate as the entire circulatory system can pass through the Hemopurifier® in as little as 15 minutes.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI) is focused on the development of exosome-targeted products and services that improve cancer diagnosis, provide post-treatment cancer surveillance, and aid in the discovery of biomarkers that allow doctors to optimize patient therapy. Additional information regarding Aethlon Medical and Exosome Sciences can be accessed online at www.aethlonmedical.com.

Such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Aethlon Medical, Inc. to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the company's ability to commercialize its Hemopurifier® in India, capability of the Hemopurifier® to reduce viral loads and other disease conditions or to identify or treat disease conditions such as cancer or Hepatitis-C, including the ability to capture exosomes and the impact that potential ability may have on disease conditions, the Company's ability to raise capital when needed, the Company's ability to complete the development of its planned products, the ability of the Company to obtain FDA and other regulatory approvals permitting the sale of its products, the Company's ability to manufacture its products either internally or through outside companies and provide its services, the impact of government regulations, patent protection on the Company's proprietary technology, product liability exposure, uncertainty of market acceptance, competition, technological change, and other risk factors. In such instances, actual results could differ materially as a result of a variety of factors, including the risks associated with the effect of changing economic conditions and other risk factors detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Pharma News; BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX) Announces Pancreatic and Prostate Cancer Vaccine License
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. - April 18, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Pharma stock news; BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX) today announced it has licensed its Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and Prostate Cancer Vaccine to Aduro BioTech, a clinical-stage immunotherapy company, solely for use in combination with Aduro's proprietary vaccine platform based on Listeria monocytogenes (Lm).
BioSante will receive milestone and royalty payments after commercialization of combination cancer vaccines using BioSante's cancer vaccine technology. Aduro also has an option to additional BioSante Cancer Vaccine indications, all for use in combination with Aduro's proprietary vaccine platform.
"We hope that this license agreement will be the first of many that can result in bringing improved cancer treatments to patients and increased value to our stockholders," said Stephen M. Simes, president and CEO of BioSante. "In addition to BioSante's Pancreas and Prostate cancer vaccines, our cancer vaccine portfolio extends into breast, colorectal, leukemia, melanoma and multiple myeloma vaccines," Simes continued.
Aduro plans to initiate a Phase II trial in the fourth quarter of 2011 with approximately 90 late-stage pancreatic cancer patients, using a novel sequential vaccine regimen of BioSante's Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207.
CRS-207 is Aduro's lead Lm-based therapeutic and has been engineered to express the tumor-associated antigen, mesothelin. CRS-207 was evaluated in a Phase I trial in 17 end-stage patients with cancers known to express mesothelin: mesothelioma, non-small-cell lung, ovarian and pancreatic. Analysis after the completion of the trial revealed a mesothelin-specific T cell response in multiple patients and despite an expected survival of three-five months for all subjects, six out of 17 subjects lived 15 months or longer.
BioSante cancer vaccines are based on human cancer cell lines that are genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), an immune-stimulatory cytokine. BioSante has a portfolio of cancer vaccines, including Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and Prostate Cancer Vaccine. The Pancreas Cancer Vaccine has been evaluated in more than 120 patients and shown to be well tolerated and able to induce mesothelin-specific T cell responses.
Sequential administration of BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine followed by CRS-207 was first shown by Aduro to be synergistic in mouse models, demonstrating enhanced tumor-specific T cell and anti-tumor responses. Because BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207 target the tumor-associated antigen mesothelin, the sequential administration is a heterologous prime-boost regimen. Lm is known to be especially effective in this regimen.
Based on the synergy in preclinical animal models, Drs. Elizabeth Jaffee and Dung Le of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins included three pancreatic cancer patients, in the CRS-207 Phase 1 clinical trial who had previously received the BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine, as part of separate clinical trials. All three late-stage patients who received sequential therapy lived 15 months or longer.
Drs. Jaffee and Le have been instrumental in collaborating with Aduro to design the Phase II trial, which is expected to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2011 and enroll a total of 90 late-stage pancreatic cancer patients. In addition, Dr. Jaffee is one of the original inventors of the BioSante Cancer Vaccines and has many years of experience developing the vaccines.
"The synergy from the sequential administration of BioSante's Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207 has the potential to significantly extend and improve the lives of a patient population where progress has historically been measured by extra weeks of survival," said Stephen Isaacs, chairman and chief executive officer of Aduro BioTech. "This partnership may very well represent the future of immunotherapy in which combination therapy becomes the standard."

BioSante will receive milestone and royalty payments after commercialization of combination cancer vaccines using BioSante's cancer vaccine technology. Aduro also has an option to additional BioSante Cancer Vaccine indications, all for use in combination with Aduro's proprietary vaccine platform.
"We hope that this license agreement will be the first of many that can result in bringing improved cancer treatments to patients and increased value to our stockholders," said Stephen M. Simes, president and CEO of BioSante. "In addition to BioSante's Pancreas and Prostate cancer vaccines, our cancer vaccine portfolio extends into breast, colorectal, leukemia, melanoma and multiple myeloma vaccines," Simes continued.
Aduro plans to initiate a Phase II trial in the fourth quarter of 2011 with approximately 90 late-stage pancreatic cancer patients, using a novel sequential vaccine regimen of BioSante's Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207.
CRS-207 is Aduro's lead Lm-based therapeutic and has been engineered to express the tumor-associated antigen, mesothelin. CRS-207 was evaluated in a Phase I trial in 17 end-stage patients with cancers known to express mesothelin: mesothelioma, non-small-cell lung, ovarian and pancreatic. Analysis after the completion of the trial revealed a mesothelin-specific T cell response in multiple patients and despite an expected survival of three-five months for all subjects, six out of 17 subjects lived 15 months or longer.
BioSante cancer vaccines are based on human cancer cell lines that are genetically modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), an immune-stimulatory cytokine. BioSante has a portfolio of cancer vaccines, including Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and Prostate Cancer Vaccine. The Pancreas Cancer Vaccine has been evaluated in more than 120 patients and shown to be well tolerated and able to induce mesothelin-specific T cell responses.
Sequential administration of BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine followed by CRS-207 was first shown by Aduro to be synergistic in mouse models, demonstrating enhanced tumor-specific T cell and anti-tumor responses. Because BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207 target the tumor-associated antigen mesothelin, the sequential administration is a heterologous prime-boost regimen. Lm is known to be especially effective in this regimen.
Based on the synergy in preclinical animal models, Drs. Elizabeth Jaffee and Dung Le of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins included three pancreatic cancer patients, in the CRS-207 Phase 1 clinical trial who had previously received the BioSante Pancreas Cancer Vaccine, as part of separate clinical trials. All three late-stage patients who received sequential therapy lived 15 months or longer.
Drs. Jaffee and Le have been instrumental in collaborating with Aduro to design the Phase II trial, which is expected to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2011 and enroll a total of 90 late-stage pancreatic cancer patients. In addition, Dr. Jaffee is one of the original inventors of the BioSante Cancer Vaccines and has many years of experience developing the vaccines.
"The synergy from the sequential administration of BioSante's Pancreas Cancer Vaccine and CRS-207 has the potential to significantly extend and improve the lives of a patient population where progress has historically been measured by extra weeks of survival," said Stephen Isaacs, chairman and chief executive officer of Aduro BioTech. "This partnership may very well represent the future of immunotherapy in which combination therapy becomes the standard."
