BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Stephen, the company has announced completion of the enrollment in its ongoing LibiGel (testosterone gel) Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study. Can you explain to investors how it was determined that the current enrollment is sufficient?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Yes, based on the last unblinded statistical analysis by the independent statistician of the Data Monitoring Committee, it was determined that according to the FDA-agreed sample size analysis enrollment should stop, based on meeting a minimum 90 percent predictive probability of success of the safety study to show the safety of LibiGel at the primary data analysis. As per the protocol, the safety study will continue for 12 months of therapy from the last subject enrolled before the primary analysis will be conducted by BioSante, which will provide the data for BioSante's new drug application (NDA) submission anticipated to be made in 2012. The study will continue for five years.
Q: Investorideas.com
How does this impact the timeline for a new drug application (NDA) submission?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Our projected timeline is to submit an NDA to the FDA seeking approval to market LibiGel by the end of 2012.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you explain to investors the timelines and the next stages of the Phase III LibiGel safety study?
Based on the LibiGel safety study protocol, the primary analysis of data will be conducted in 12 months. This will put us in a position to submit the NDA by the end of 2012.
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Q: Investorideas.com
LibiGel is currently the only product in the world in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of HSDD- Can you explain to new investors the significance of being first to market?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We believe the potential market for products to treat women's sexual health is well over $1 billion in the U.S. alone. We also believe that LibiGel will be the first product approved for the treatment of menopausal women in this indication. Being first to market will result in gaining the majority of the available market.

Biotech/Pharma Stocks News; UV Flu Technologies (OTCBB: UVFT) Receives First Order for the Chinese Marketplace

CENTERVILLE, MA – June 7, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company") announced today that it had received its first order of ViraTech UV-400's for test and evaluation for the Chinese marketplace. The units will be manufactured to Chinese electrical standards, and will be shipped for evaluation to 3 hospitals in different Chinese cities.

"This is our first entry into the biggest potential market for our products in the world," said John Lennon, President of UV Flu. "China has approximately 330,000 hospitals, with even greater numbers of clinics, and the spread of airborne bacteria and viruses is epidemic in many areas. Children in many cities are examined before they're allowed on school grounds, and it's not uncommon to see large numbers of people in hospital waiting areas with IVs, providing a fertile environment for the airborne spread of bacteria.
"We have been patiently building our brand over the last several months, and the results are about to be realized. We now have RX-3000s in a significant number of the top hospitals in America, and are currently back-ordered, while a new program we are starting with Hotels later this month is expected to put us in a similar back-order situation on the UV Flu side. We also hope to have our new initiatives in China, along with the Mideast, introduced later this month," said Mr. Lennon.
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.

About UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:UVFT)
UV Flu Technologies is an innovative developer, manufacturer and distributor of bio technology products initially targeting the rapidly growing Indoor Air Quality ("IAQ") industry sector (over $7.7 billion in 2008). The Company manufactures the ViraTech UV-400, which utilizes high-intensity ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) inside a killing chamber that goes beyond filtration to destroy harmful airborne bacteria, at rates exceeding 99.2% on a first-pass basis, while also reducing the concentrations of odors, and VOC's (volatile organic compounds, such as acetone, benzene, formaldehyde, etc.) The FDA has issued a coveted Class II medical listing that enables UV Flu Technologies to market the product as a medical device.

Biotech/Pharma Stocks News; UV Flu Technologies (OTCBB: UVFT) Introduces "RX Air Plus," One of the World's Most Advanced Air Purification Systems

CENTERVILLE, MA � June 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced marketing the "RX Air Plus" Air Purification System, which the Company believes could revolutionize the air purification marketplace.

The new system may prove to be the most effective air purification system in the world today, as the "RX Air Plus" System packages the RX-3000, built by the Company's RxAir subsidiary, along with 2 ViraTech UV-400 units. The Company believes this to be the only air purification system in the world utilizing two different FDA cleared Class II Medical devices as an integrated system. RX Air Plus brings together the two technologies, which combine to kill over 99% of bacteria and other contaminants, while reducing all odors and volatile organic compounds, as well as capturing over 99.97 % of all particulates within indoor areas up to 1500 square feet in size.
"No other Company offers a system which matches the capabilities of these combined technologies," said John Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "The 'RX Air Plus' offers two of the most unique and effective products in the air purification marketplace today. The two ViraTech UV-400 units utilize hi-intensity germicidal UV lamps contained within a patented cartridge, which kills organic contaminants while also breaking down odors and concentrations of VOCs. The RX-3000 is one of the finest HEPA based air purifiers, capturing over 99.97% of particulates. The quality of indoor air protected by this system is typically purer than outdoor air while never having to open a window. The Company is offering the system to new customers and distributors immediately. We also plan to approach the over 1000 customer locations already utilizing the RX-3000 as possible upgrade opportunities."
"We also believe this system is going to have numerous applications in the Mideast, where microscopic sand particles are a major issue with respect to poor indoor air quality. To this end, the Company is in talks with several companies with respect to distribution in the Mideast, and expects to have an agreement in place this quarter," said Mr. Lennon.
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.

Biotech and Pharma News; BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX) Announces Lifting of Clinical Hold on GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine

CHICAGO - June 6, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX) today announced that the FDA's clinical hold on the GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine (GVAX Prostate) for the treatment of prostate cancer has been lifted by FDA. Manufacturing of new GVAX Prostate is complete, and planning for a Phase II clinical trial at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center is underway.

BioSante funded the manufacturing of GVAX Prostate, and the trial will be supported in part by the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Important start-up funding for this study was provided by the OneInSix Foundation.
"The Prostate Cancer Foundation funded the early work at Johns Hopkins University that resulted in the development of the GVAX Prostate Cancer Vaccine. We are pleased to continue support of Dr. Charles Drake and his innovative clinical and laboratory investigations of GVAX at Hopkins," said Howard R. Soule, PhD, executive vice president and chief science officer of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "We are delighted that the OneInSix Foundation has joined in support of this important prostate cancer program. Under BioSante leadership we are hopeful that GVAX Prostate will be established as a new treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer."
"We are pleased to be working with Johns Hopkins as well as the Foundations on such an important project," said Stephen M. Simes, BioSante's president and chief executive officer. "A joint effort among the various parties involved has resulted in the FDA lifting the GVAX Prostate clinical hold which is a positive step for development of a new prostate cancer vaccine and the men who may benefit. Now that the FDA has approved the first-ever therapeutic cancer vaccine, Provenge, for the treatment of prostate cancer, we have renewed confidence that GVAX Prostate can be a valuable addition to prostate cancer patient care."
Unlike the recently approved Provenge for the treatment of prostate cancer, which requires isolation of cells from the patient that are then modified to produce the vaccine which is then re-introduced into the patient, GVAX Prostate is an off-the-shelf, non-patient-specific vaccine. It is comprised of prostate cancer cells that have been modified to secrete GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), an immune stimulatory cytokine, and then irradiated for safety. GVAX Prostate will be administered via intradermal injections on an outpatient basis. To date, over 1,000 patients have been treated in clinical trials with BioSante cancer vaccines for various types of cancer. Although Phase III trials in prostate cancer were discontinued in 2008, development of GVAX Prostate has been reinitiated in view of the great need among men with prostate cancer and the lessons learned using the vaccine in previous clinical trials.
In addition to GVAX Prostate, BioSante has several other cancer vaccines which are in Phase II clinical development including vaccines for leukemia, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Also, BioSante has applied for and received four FDA Orphan Drug designations for cancer vaccines to treat acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, pancreatic cancer and melanoma.
About the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world's largest philanthropic source of support for accelerating the world's most promising research for discovering better treatments and cures for prostate cancer. Founded in 1993, the PCF has raised nearly $450 million and provided funding to more than 1,500 researchers at nearly 200 institutions worldwide. PCF advocates for greater awareness of prostate cancer and more efficient investment of governmental research funds for transformational cancer research. Its efforts have helped produce a 20-fold increase in government funding for prostate cancer. More information about the PCF can be found at www.pcf.org.
About the OneInSix Foundation
The OneInSix Foundation is so-named because one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. This charitable organization was founded by the late Mr. Bruce Hunsicker, an attorney from Akron, Ohio who dedicated his time and effort to raising funds for prostate cancer research and awareness.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX ) News: FDA Approves INCIVEK™ (telaprevir) for People with Hepatitis C

• 79% of people treated for the first time achieved a SVR (viral cure) with INCIVEK combination treatment-
• Vertex launches a comprehensive financial assistance and patient support program-

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-May 23, 2011, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq:VRTX ) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved INCIVEK™ (telaprevir) tablets for a broad group of people with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C with compensated liver disease (some level of damage to the liver but the liver still functions), including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). INCIVEK (in-SEE-veck) is approved for people who are new to treatment, and for people who were treated previously but who did not achieve a viral cure (relapsers, partial responders and null responders). INCIVEK is given for 12 weeks in combination with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin, two other medicines approved to treat hepatitis C. After the first 12 weeks, all patients stop receiving INCIVEK and continue treatment with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin alone for an additional 12 weeks or 36 weeks of treatment. With INCIVEK combination treatment, more than 60 percent of people treated for the first time, as well as those who relapsed after previous therapy, are expected to complete all treatment in 24 weeks - half the time needed if they were to take pegylated-interferon and ribavirin alone. All other patients will receive a total of 48 weeks of treatment. INCIVEK will arrive in pharmacies this week.

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 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:

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.
