The 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.

Biotech Stock Alert: Aethlon (OTCBB: AEMD) Makes Headlines with Cancer Studies

Biotech Stock Alert: Aethlon (OTCBB: AEMD) Makes Headlines with Cancer Studies

Visit this company: www.aethlonmedical.com

SAN DIEGO – August 25, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Investorideas.com, a leader in investor research including biotech stocks issues the following news alert for Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD)

Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, reports it has entered into an agreement with the Sarcoma Oncology Center to study the ex vivo effectiveness of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to remove immunosuppressive exosomes from the blood of advanced-stage cancer patients. Exosomes released by cancer have recently emerged as a novel therapeutic target in cancer care, as they have been implicated in cancer survival, growth, and metastasis. Researchers have also identified that cancer-released exosomes may assist tumors in evading the response of the immune system. At present, there is no therapeutic drug candidate to inhibit the deleterious roles of cancer-released exosomes. The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device with broad-spectrum capabilities against viral pathogens, including HIV and Hepatitis C virus. The device has also demonstrated the ability to capture cancer-released exosomes from cell culture and human ascites fluids. Click here (Aethlon Exosome Presentation) to learn more about Aethlon's novel therapeutic strategy to address cancer.

"The opportunity to test the ability of our Hemopurifier® to remove exosomes from the blood of cancer patients represents an important step in our effort to improve cancer care," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "Additionally, we will have the privilege of working with Dr. Sant Chawla, a leading authority in the sarcoma oncology field and his team at the Sarcoma Oncology Center."

The study will be conducted in collaboration with The Sarcoma Oncology Center (www.sarcomaoncology.com) based in Santa Monica, California. The Sarcoma Oncology Center is one of the most sought after research centers for the clinical testing of new therapeutic candidates against sarcomas and other forms of cancer. Click on (ASCO 2011) to view the Center's clinical presentations at the 2011 American Society of Oncology conference. The lead investigator of the study is Dr. Sant P. Chawla (About Dr. Chawla). Dr. Chawla noted, "This clinical histological study is a critical validation step in Aethlon's Hemopurifier® strategy for cancer that we hope will set the stage for planned therapeutic trials in cancer patients. The concept of 'subtractive therapy', eliminating a major mechanism of tumor progression and resistance to drugs, represents a potential breakout solution that needs to be tested in the clinic." The initial study will quantitate and capture exosomes ex-vivo, from blood samples of patients with advanced cancers. The study will evaluate 25 patients, five patients with metastatic cancer of the following types; non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, and sarcoma. Successful study outcomes would provide a basis for advancing human studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies.

About Aethlon Medical

The Aethlon Medical mission is to create innovative devices that address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious disease, and other life-threatening conditions. The Aethlon ADAPT™ system is an expansive technology platform that converges affinity drug agents and plasma membrane technology to create therapeutic filtration devices that selectively target the removal of harmful particles from the entire circulatory system. Our lead therapeutic candidate is the Aethlon Hemopurifier®, a device with broad-spectrum capabilities against viral pathogens and immunosuppressive cancer exosomes. In human studies, Hemopurifier® therapy has provided significant viral load reductions in HIV and hepatitis C virus infected individuals without the administration of antiviral drugs. We are now focused on advancing our Hemopurifier® as an adjunct strategy to improve the benefit of established infectious disease and cancer treatment regimens.

The initial study will quantitate and capture exosomes ex-vivo, from blood samples of patients with advanced cancers. The study will evaluate 25 patients, five patients with metastatic cancer of the following types; non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, and sarcoma. Successful study outcomes would provide a basis for advancing human studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® as an adjunct therapy to improve patient responsiveness to established cancer therapies.

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.
