OTC Healthcare Stock Alert: Comprehensive Care (OTCBB: CHCR) Six Month Financial Results; Revenues of $36 Million, Earnings of $1.7 Million or $0.02 Per Share

TAMPA, Fla. - August 14, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) OTC Healthcare stock alert - Comprehensive Care Corporation (OTCBB: CHCR), a leading behavioral health, substance abuse and psychotropic pharmacy management services provider for managed care companies throughout the U.S., reports earnings of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.02. This compares to a $3.9 million loss in the first six months of 2011 and a $.07 loss per common share.

The Company announced that operating income for the first half of 2012 totaled $2.1 million compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million in the same period in 2011.

"The cost saving measures we accomplished earlier this year, with mid-level and senior executives taking salary reductions, and some layoffs, combined with ending contracts that were not profitable for CompCare, are paying rewards. For the first six months of 2012, we were profitable, cash flow positive and were able to increase operating income and reduce our general and administrative expenses from $4.1 million in the first half of 2011 to $2.7 million for the comparable period this year," said Clark Marcus, Chairman and CEO.
"I am especially pleased that our pharmacy management contracts were up 18.9 percent, or $3.1 million, to $19.4 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the previous year due to a 3.6 percent increase in membership and an 11 percent contract rate increase with the health plan we serve in Puerto Rico. We truly believe our strategies to reduce pharmaceutical costs for our clients will be a key element for our future growth," Mr. Marcus said.
"I am very proud of these financial results and the fact that CompCare's management team has solidified the foundation of the Company, improving it to support our growth. We have added senior level consultants with track records of success and we are dedicated to provide our shareholders continued growth in the future," Mr. Marcus concluded.

Biotech Stock Alert; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Expanded Access to Hemopurifier® Therapy For Individuals Infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

SAN DIEGO - August 9, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing selective therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, announced today that it has agreed to establish a treatment program that will provide HCV-infected individuals with expanded access to Hemopurifier® therapy. The program is being initiated with support from the Institutional Review Board at the Medanta Medicity Institute (Medicity) to allow compassionate usage of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® for individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed standard-of-care drug regimens.

In addition to offering Hemopurifier® therapy to the citizens of India, HCV-infected individuals from the United States, European Union and other regions of the world may pursue treatment through the expanded access program. Details related to treatment protocol, inclusion criteria, patient approval processes and therapy pricing are anticipated in September. It is estimated that approximately 170 million people worldwide are infected with HCV, which leads to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and is a leading cause of liver transplantation.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of HCV from the entire circulatory system to improve benefit, dose, duration and tolerability of drug therapies. The Medicity is a $360 million multi-specialty medical institute established to be a premier center for medical tourism in India.
"The Medicity access program represents an important milestone in our quest to establish the selective therapeutic filtration industry," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "Beyond helping HCV-infected individuals overcome their disease, we now have the opportunity to augment our established government contract revenues with Hemopurifier® product sales."
Aethlon also disclosed that it will continue conducting a study at the Medicity that is evaluating the capability of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to accelerate HCV RNA depletion at the outset of standard of care peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) therapy. Specifically, HCV-infected individuals are enrolled to receive up to three, six-hour Hemopurifier® treatments during the first three days of PR drug therapy. Last week, Aethlon reported that the two most recent HCV infected patients to receive Hemopurifier® therapy in combination with PR drug therapy achieved undetectable viral load at day-7, which is rarely reported in drug therapy alone.
The primary clinical endpoint of the Medicity protocol has been to increase the incidence of rapid virologic response (RVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA at day 30 of therapy. RVR represents the clinical endpoint that best predicts treatment cure, otherwise known as sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA 24-weeks after the completion of PR drug therapy. As a point of reference, the landmark IDEAL Study of 3,070 HCV genotype-1 patients documented that only 10.35% (n=318/3070) of PR treated patients achieved a RVR. However, patients that achieved a RVR had SVR rates of 86.2% (n=274/318) versus SVR rates of 32.5% (n=897/2752) in non-RVR patients. While the incidence of undetectable HCV RNA at day-7 is not reported in the IDEAL study, the study did reveal that just 4.3% (n=131/3070) of patients achieved undetectable HCV RNA at day-14, which equated to a 91% (n=118/131) SVR rate.
Aethlon reported that Hemopurifier® therapy has been well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in ten treated patients. Of these ten patients, seven patients were infected with HCV genotype-1; two patients were infected with HCV genotype-3; and one patient was infected with HCV genotype-5. At present, undetectable HCV RNA is reported in eight of the 10 treated patients. Of the two patients with detectable HCV RNA, one discontinued PR therapy as a result of a diabetes related condition. HCV RNA is undetectable in all patients (n=4) that have been monitored for 48 weeks since receiving Hemopurifier® therapy. Among the 10 treated patients, Aethlon reported that six genotype-1 patients received the three treatment Hemopurifier® protocol, which resulted in four (67%) patients achieving a RVR. The IDEAL study predicts it would normally require approximately 40 PR treated patients to achieve 4 RVR outcomes. Both patients who achieved undetectable HCV RNA at day-7 also achieved a RVR. Beyond the high likelihood of a SVR, genotype-1 patients that achieve a RVR also have the opportunity to reduce the duration of PR drug therapy from 48 weeks to 24 weeks.
In addition to expanding access to Hemopurifier® therapy at the Medicity, Aethlon is preparing to resubmit to the FDA an investigational device exemption (IDE), which will incorporate the Medicity data in an effort to gain approval to initiate HCV clinical programs in the United States.

Biodefense Stock News; Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) and PositiveID (OTCBB: PSID) Prepare for BioWatch Procurement

New York, New York - August 6, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire, www.biodefensestocks.com) Investorideas.com, a leader in research for independent investors issues a news alert for biodefense stocks, PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) and Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) as both companies prepare for technology acquisitions and procurement for BioWatch Generation 3 this fall.

PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) recently reported it added Dr. Kimothy Smith as Chief Technology Advisor to the Company and its Microfluidic Systems ("MFS") subsidiary. The Company will utilize Dr. Smith's expertise in the areas of biosurveillance, biodefense, biosecurity, molecular genetics and diagnostics, as it prepares for the release of the final request for proposal from the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") for BioWatch Generation 3,  a $3.1 billion procurement for an early warning system designed to detect the intentional release of airborne biological agents. The Company believes its M-BAND system is one of the only technologies capable of addressing the requirements of BioWatch Generation 3.
In July Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) reported  that its Next Generation Automated Detection System (NG-ADS) for homeland defense applications has successfully completed a rigorous field test and is ready for the program's next phase.
The NG-ADS technology is a competitor for the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) upcoming BioWatch Gen-3 Phase II acquisition. The program seeks to deploy a nationwide network of fully autonomous bio-detectors in major metropolitan areas across the United States to provide early warning of a biological attack. DHS recently announced that a request for proposals will be issued later this year.
As a fully automated biological detection system, the NG-ADS continuously collects air samples, analyzes the samples for the presence of multiple biological pathogens, and automatically reports results to public health officials multiple times each day through a secure data network. More than 20,000 samples were collected and analyzed during the recent field test in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations in a major city in the United States .
"There are concerns that our nation won't be ready to respond should a biological attack occur," said Dave Tilles, director of Homeland Security programs at Northrop Grumman's Electronic Systems sector. "Early warning provided by an automated detection system such as the NG-ADS will allow the nation's public health and public safety officials to proactively manage the response to a biological event to reduce exposure and treat the affected population to minimize casualties."
Since the successful field test, additional improvements have been made to the NG-ADS to enhance the system's performance while reducing its life-cycle cost. The proven, life-saving capability of the NG-ADS draws upon Northrop Grumman's decade long experience developing, testing, deploying, and operating bio-detection systems for the U.S. government and other customers.
