Investor FAQs and Facts for BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc: (NASDAQ: BPAX)
POINT ROBERTS, August 24, 2001 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors features an investor FAQ and Fact Sheet for specialty pharmaceutical company, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc: (NASDAQ: BPAX).
BioSante’s (NASDAQ: BPAX) stock has built a significant retail investor following as well as over 40% institutional ownership and has had extensive media coverage as its key product, LibiGel®, gets closer to market as the first FDA-approved drug for female sexual dysfunction. The following FAQs and Facts can serve as an important stage of due diligence for investors and media following the company’s progress.
BioSante FAQs (Frequently asked Questions)
1) In the correct market environment cash is king. How long will your cash last?
A: BioSante is well funded and has the financial resources to continue our corporate strategy well into 2013, with a current burn rate averaging $4 Million per month which will decrease to approximately $3 million per month in 2012. As of August 2, 2011 we had about $79 million in cash.
2) What is the timeline for LibiGel clinical development?
A: LibiGel is in three pivotal Phase III clinical studies at this time. The first two trials are set to be completed in September 2011 with top-line efficacy data reported in the fourth quarter 2011. Top-line data from the third study, a safety study, will be reported in the third quarter 2012. A new drug application (NDA) is targeted to be submitted in 2012 and a potential FDA approval could come in mid-2013.
3) Other companies have tried to develop products for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. Why is BioSante the only company active in Phase III clinical development for this indication today?
A: As stated before we believe the market for female sexual dysfunction is significant and we would welcome other companies to develop product for this market. Having said that, today LibiGel is the only product in Phase III clinical development in the world. Previous companies have failed in their development either because their efficacy data were not adequate or they did not prove the safety of their products to FDA’s satisfaction. We believe the LibiGel Phase III clinical program will show both the efficacy and the safety of LibiGel in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction, specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder, a significant unmet medical need among women.
4) How big is the market for FSD?
A: The current market for testosterone and estrogen products is over $2.5 billion dollars in the U.S. alone, with estimates for female sexual dysfunction (FSD) potentially adding more than $2.0 billion. Unfortunately a full 13 years after Viagra was approved for men’s sexual health there still is no FDA-approved product for the treatment of women’s sexual health.
5) How will LibiGel be marketed?
A: According to IMS and primary research, in 2010, over four million “off label” testosterone prescriptions were written for women in the U.S. According to survey data, clinicians indicated that they would prefer to prescribe an FDA approved product that has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and effective for the treatment of HSDD, and they would switch over 90% of their patients using testosterone to LibiGel®. In addition, the physicians indicated the number of women using testosterone for HSDD would more than double given an FDA approved product. Our objective is to license LibiGel to a larger company to market it once approved.
6) Does BioSante have a pipeline beyond LibiGel?
A: Yes, BioSante has a long list of products in clinical development as well as pending FDA approval. Clearly, LibiGel represents our biggest and best near-term opportunity. In addition, our male testosterone product, Bio-T-Gel™ has an NDA pending and has been licensed to Teva for marketing in the U.S. In addition we have a portfolio of cancer vaccine currently in 15 Phase I and Phase II studies. Importantly, these studies are funded by others and therefore BioSante has no cost, but significant potential upside. Investors should visit our website, www.biosantepharma.com, to review our full product portfolio as well as review our public filings for the most information about our company.

Biotech/Pharma Stocks Trading News: AEMD, ANX, OXGN, CHTP, EXEL
Navigating the Biotech Sector in a Volatile Market
Point Roberts, WA- Aug 10, 2011- Investorideas.com , an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a trading alert for biotech and pharma stocks trading August 9th. Yesterday’s trading session saw gains for investors in a very volatile global market. As investors navigate this market, there are still profits to be made in all sectors.
Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD), a pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices, traded relatively flat yesterday and is seeing gains in morning trading today, August 10th. The stock is trading at $0.0839, up 0.0049 (6.20%) .
The company recently introduced the Aethlon ADAPT™ (Adaptive Dialysis-Like Affinity Platform Technology) system, as an innovative medical device platform that provides a basis to create new therapeutic devices through the convergence of affinity drug agents and plasma membrane technologies. The Aethlon ADAPT™ system provides a previously unrecognized commercialization pathway to antibody and other affinity drug developers, who should also appreciate a less onerous medical device regulatory pathway. We are already seeing evidence of our ADAPT™ system being the impetus for industry collaborations that offer new channels of early revenue generation.
In yesterday’s session, OXiGENE, Inc. (NASDAQ:OXGN) gained 0.44 (39.64%) to $1.55 as the stock has slumped about 60% in the past one week. The stock made its new 52-week low of $1.08 on Monday. The stock is down 68% so far this year.
ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX:ANX) shares also climbed 0.45 (21.53%) to $2.54 after it received a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for Exelbine™ (vinorelbine injectable emulsion) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
Chelsea Therapeutics International Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHTP) climbed 0.72 (20.22%) to $4.28 after it has successfully reached its target enrollment of 120 patients in its Phase II trial of droxidopa for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Top-line results of the trial are expected by the end of the year.
Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEL) added 1.07 (17.95%) to $7.03. Last week, the company reported a loss of 16 cents a share on revenue of $32.2 million, better than analysts’ estimates of a loss of 17 cents a share on revenue of $37.47 million.
The company sees FY2011 revenue of $220-$250 million, versus prior guidance of $145-$160 million and the consensus of $166.3 million.

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.

Point Roberts, WA- Aug 10, 2011- Investorideas.com , an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a trading alert for biotech and pharma stocks trading August 9th. Yesterday’s trading session saw gains for investors in a very volatile global market. As investors navigate this market, there are still profits to be made in all sectors.
Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD), a pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices, traded relatively flat yesterday and is seeing gains in morning trading today, August 10th. The stock is trading at $0.0839, up 0.0049 (6.20%) .
The company recently introduced the Aethlon ADAPT™ (Adaptive Dialysis-Like Affinity Platform Technology) system, as an innovative medical device platform that provides a basis to create new therapeutic devices through the convergence of affinity drug agents and plasma membrane technologies. The Aethlon ADAPT™ system provides a previously unrecognized commercialization pathway to antibody and other affinity drug developers, who should also appreciate a less onerous medical device regulatory pathway. We are already seeing evidence of our ADAPT™ system being the impetus for industry collaborations that offer new channels of early revenue generation.
In yesterday’s session, OXiGENE, Inc. (NASDAQ:OXGN) gained 0.44 (39.64%) to $1.55 as the stock has slumped about 60% in the past one week. The stock made its new 52-week low of $1.08 on Monday. The stock is down 68% so far this year.
ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX:ANX) shares also climbed 0.45 (21.53%) to $2.54 after it received a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for Exelbine™ (vinorelbine injectable emulsion) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
Chelsea Therapeutics International Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHTP) climbed 0.72 (20.22%) to $4.28 after it has successfully reached its target enrollment of 120 patients in its Phase II trial of droxidopa for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Top-line results of the trial are expected by the end of the year.
Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEL) added 1.07 (17.95%) to $7.03. Last week, the company reported a loss of 16 cents a share on revenue of $32.2 million, better than analysts’ estimates of a loss of 17 cents a share on revenue of $37.47 million.
The company sees FY2011 revenue of $220-$250 million, versus prior guidance of $145-$160 million and the consensus of $166.3 million.

Biotech and Pharma Investor Alert; BioSante (NASDAQ: BPAX) Rebounds, Trading up over 14%
Point Roberts, WA, LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill –August 9, 2011,– Investorideas.com, a leader in sector stock research for independent investors , issues a trading alert for specialty biotech/pharma stock, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX) for August 9th. The stock has bounced back as high as $2.37 in today’s trading. BioSante (NASDAQ: BPAX) fell yesterday with the general market fear, following the US downgrade.
News Excerpt: Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX), Discusses the Future of LibiGel® Following Closing of $48 Million Offering
“ BioSante plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel® for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is in development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes, following the closing of the $48 Million offering, you report use of proceeds will include ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel® for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). How far will this take you into the study and what does this mean for investor confidence in taking this product to market?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The proceeds of the $48 million underwritten financing together with the cash we had before the transaction results in almost $80 million in cash. This cash balance is sufficient to fund the LibiGel program and BioSante through our anticipated LibiGel new drug application (NDA) submission by the end of 2012, and in fact all the way through a potential FDA approval which could come in mid-2013. This long runway was one of the key reasons for executing the transaction at this time. Another reason for executing the transaction at this time was so that in the fourth quarter of this year when we announce LibiGel efficacy data investors can concentrate on the quality of the data versus being concerned that we would need to raise money.”

Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX), Discusses the Future of LibiGel® Following Closing of $48 Million Offering
Point Roberts, WA, LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill - August 8, 2011 - (Investorideas.com newswire.com) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal covering leading sectors including biotech and pharma stocks, features an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BPAX), following the announcement of the closing of a $48.0 Million public offering.
BioSante plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel� for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is in development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).

Mr. Simes, following the closing of the $48 Million offering, you report use of proceeds will include ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel® for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). How far will this take you into the study and what does this mean for investor confidence in taking this product to market?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The proceeds of the $48 million underwritten financing together with the cash we had before the transaction results in almost $80 million in cash. This cash balance is sufficient to fund the LibiGel program and BioSante through our anticipated LibiGel new drug application (NDA) submission by the end of 2012, and in fact all the way through a potential FDA approval which could come in mid-2013. This long runway was one of the key reasons for executing the transaction at this time. Another reason for executing the transaction at this time was so that in the fourth quarter of this year when we announce LibiGel efficacy data investors can concentrate on the quality of the data versus being concerned that we would need to raise money.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes can you tell investors what it means to BioSante to have some of the top names in Healthcare Banking, such as Jefferies backing the financing for your company to pave your way for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We are happy to have had Jefferies as the lead banker on this important and well executed BioSante financing. This is our first underwritten transaction, our first financing without issuing warrants and the largest single financing we have ever executed. The institutional investors in this transaction include new and existing stockholders of BioSante, most of which concentrate in biotech/pharma investing. All of these factors are important indicators of investor confidence in BioSante.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes besides funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel how else will BioSante use their funding proceeds?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The vast majority of BioSante spending over the last few years has been and will continue to be funding the LibiGel Phase III clinical development program. This has been a long-term commitment of BioSante, and we believe represents a major upside for our stockholders and the women of the United States. A full 13 years after Viagra was approved for men in the United States there still is no pharmaceutical product approved by the FDA for women's sexual health. LibiGel is the only product in the world in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder, a significant unmet medical need.

BioSante plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel� for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is in development under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
BioSante Pharmaceuticals Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes, following the closing of the $48 Million offering, you report use of proceeds will include ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel® for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). How far will this take you into the study and what does this mean for investor confidence in taking this product to market?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The proceeds of the $48 million underwritten financing together with the cash we had before the transaction results in almost $80 million in cash. This cash balance is sufficient to fund the LibiGel program and BioSante through our anticipated LibiGel new drug application (NDA) submission by the end of 2012, and in fact all the way through a potential FDA approval which could come in mid-2013. This long runway was one of the key reasons for executing the transaction at this time. Another reason for executing the transaction at this time was so that in the fourth quarter of this year when we announce LibiGel efficacy data investors can concentrate on the quality of the data versus being concerned that we would need to raise money.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes can you tell investors what it means to BioSante to have some of the top names in Healthcare Banking, such as Jefferies backing the financing for your company to pave your way for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We are happy to have had Jefferies as the lead banker on this important and well executed BioSante financing. This is our first underwritten transaction, our first financing without issuing warrants and the largest single financing we have ever executed. The institutional investors in this transaction include new and existing stockholders of BioSante, most of which concentrate in biotech/pharma investing. All of these factors are important indicators of investor confidence in BioSante.
Q: Investorideas.com
Mr. Simes besides funding the ongoing Phase III clinical study program for LibiGel how else will BioSante use their funding proceeds?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The vast majority of BioSante spending over the last few years has been and will continue to be funding the LibiGel Phase III clinical development program. This has been a long-term commitment of BioSante, and we believe represents a major upside for our stockholders and the women of the United States. A full 13 years after Viagra was approved for men in the United States there still is no pharmaceutical product approved by the FDA for women's sexual health. LibiGel is the only product in the world in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder, a significant unmet medical need.

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. 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 .

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.
