Biotech Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Expansion of Compassionate-Use Program To Treat Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

SAN DIEGO - December 12, 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 a compassionate-use clinical program that provides HCV-infected individuals with access to the Hemopurifier� therapy, has been expanded to include individuals who experience a viral breakthrough during standard-of-care drug therapy.

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, dosing, duration and tolerability of drug therapies. A virologic breakthrough occurs when infected individuals achieve undetectable HCV levels after drug therapy initiation, but then experience a rebound in HCV levels prior to completion of therapy. Researchers often attribute viral breakthroughs to the development of drug resistance or the emergence of HCV subtypes that are less sensitive to drug therapy.
"It is immensely disheartening when HCV-infected individuals initially respond but are then forced to discontinue their drug therapy as the result of a viral breakthrough," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "Whether it be interferon-based or future all-antiviral drug strategies, there is an enduring opportunity for our Hemopurifier� to help individuals salvage benefit from their HCV drug regimen."
Aethlon previously disclosed that the compassionate-use program, which was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Medanta Medicity Institute (Medicity), would allow individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed standard-of-care drug regimens with treatment access to the Aethlon Hemopurifier�. Individuals who fail drug therapy maintain detectable HCV levels throughout the course of drug therapy, whereas a treatment relapse is defined when HCV levels decrease and remain undetectable during treatment, but become detectable after cessation of therapy. The Medicity is a $360 million multi-specialty medical institute established to be a premier center for medical tourism in India. Additional details about the Medicity can be found online at www.medanta.org. Under the compassionate-use program, the Medicity is offering Hemopurifier� therapy to HCV-infected individuals that reside in India or travel from other regions and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria that have been established for participation.

The Treatment Protocol
The Medicity is offering compassionate-use access to Hemopurifier� therapy on a minimum three-day treatment regimen with the option for patients to extend treatment to a maximum period of seven consecutive days. During each treatment day, Hemopurifier� therapy is administered for a duration of up to six-hours. In HCV-infected individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed drug therapy, the goal of Hemopurifier� therapy is to accelerate the early viral kinetic response to drug therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks. More specifically, Hemopurifier� therapy targets to increase immediate and rapid virologic response rates, which correlate with high clinical cure rates. In viral breakthrough patients, the goal of Hemopurifier� therapy is to reset viral load to undetectable levels as a strategy to salvage the continuance and benefit of drug therapy.
Medicity is offering the three-day treatment regimen at $7,235.00 (USD), which includes Hemopurifier� therapy, physician and support fees, hospital lodging, catheter and other consumables. The cost for each treatment day beyond the minimum three-day regimen is $2,295.00. Pre-treatment consult and post treatment monitoring is charged at $200/day and includes transportation to and from hotel.
The Medicity has established the following inclusion and exclusion criteria for candidate patient consideration:
Inclusion Criteria

• Males or females 18 years of age and older testing positive for any HCV genotype
• Patients who initially responded to standard-of-care drug therapy, but have since suffered a virologic breakthrough
• Patients who relapsed after completing a previous course of standard-of-care drug therapy

Current HCV Studies
Aethlon has previously reported data from a clinical program 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. In this study, HCV-infected individuals are enrolled to receive up to three, six-hour Hemopurifier� treatments during the first three days of PR drug therapy. Aethlon recently reported that two HCV-infected patients who received 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 this study 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 only10.35% (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.
To date, Aethlon has reported that Hemopurifier� therapy has been well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in the first 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. Aethlon previously reported undetectable HCV RNA in eight of the 10 treated patients. Of the two patients reported to have detectable HCV RNA, one had 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.
Aethlon expects to report updated results, including new patient data from this study in the near future. The Company also disclosed it is presently incorporating new patient data within investigational device exemption (IDE) that is expected to be submitted to FDA by year-end in an effort to gain approval to initiate HCV clinical programs in the United States.

Biotech Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Note: A Medical Device Strategy to Address Metastatic Melanoma

SAN DIEGO - December 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), today released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce.
At Aethlon Medical, our focus is to create revolutionary medical devices that save lives. In the treatment of Hepatitis C (HCV) infected individuals, we have demonstrated that our Hemopurifier® synergistically combines with drug therapy to accelerate the achievement of undetectable viral load. In cancer, I envision our opportunity to save lives will be driven by the discovery that our Hemopurifier® can addresses a therapeutic target that plays a pivotal role in cancer progression, yet remains beyond the reach of drug therapies. The target? Microvesicles known as exosomes, which are particles secreted by tumors underlying a wide-range of cancers.

When we first initiated our tumor-derived exosome research, it was based on a belief that these particles were immunosuppressive, much like glycoproteins that shed from HIV and other viral pathogens. However, the medical community consensus at the time was that exosomes had no biological function other than to discard cellular debris. Today, tumor-derived exosomes are known to suppress the immune response in cancer patients. Beyond possessing immunosuppressive properties, tumor-derived exosomes facilitate tumor growth, metastasis, and the development of drug resistance. Such deleterious effects underlie the pathogenesis of cancer, and as a result of our early research we have been able to obtain broad patent protection in the field. By addressing this unmet medical need, our objective is to deliver a medical device that improves the benefit of cancer therapies without adding drug resistance or interaction risks.
As more and more medical institutes establish exosome research programs, we benefit from new discoveries that will help us to understand which forms of cancer are most likely to benefit from our technology. In this regard, Dr. Annette Marleau (our Director of Tumor Immunology) provides the following review on recent discoveries that describe the implication of exosomes in metastatic melanoma, a form of cancer whose 5-year survival rate is less than 20%.
Exosomes As Therapeutic Targets In Metastatic Melanoma
Exosomes are nano-sized microvesicles released in large quantities by cancer cells that are key culprits in the pathogenesis of several cancer types. Exosomes are now recognized as biological delivery vehicles for communication between cells in almost every system of the body investigated to date. In the area of oncology, cancer derived exosomes are highly stable "packages" released from tumors that transport proteins and genetic material from their originating tumor cells to distant sites throughout the body to accelerate tumor progression. In melanoma patients, tumor-secreted exosomes serve as carriers of malignant proteins and their levels in circulation correlate with the aggressiveness of the cancer1. To date, cancer exosomes have been implicated in: a) immune suppression; b) enhancement of angiogenesis; and c) promotion of metastasis, which will be discussed below.
Owing to several recent publications that have defined their pathological roles in metastatic disease, melanoma exosomes are emerging as candidate therapeutic targets. Metastatic (stage 4) melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, has a five-year survival rate of only 15-20%2. This disease continues to be a challenge to treat, as the current standard treatments have proven to be ineffective and/or highly toxic. Since patients afflicted with metastatic melanoma have suppressed immune systems due to tumor- and drug-related effects, the efficacy of novel immunotherapeutic solutions is limited and only small percentages of patients experience durable responses and extended survival. Thus, the development of novel treatments to reliably bolster anti-cancer immune responses remains an urgent clinical objective.
Recent scientific studies have defined the importance of melanoma exosomes in the progression of cancer, thereby providing the rationale for targeting tumor-derived nano-vesicles therapeutically. In a 2012 publication in the prestigious journal Nature Medicine, Dr. David Lynden's group at Weill Cornell Medical College and their colleagues reported that melanoma tumors release exosomes that condition metastatic sites for growth of tumors and their supporting blood vessels3. This publication also identifies a correlation between high exosome concentrations in circulation with advanced disease and poor prognosis of patients. This knowledge reinforces the concept that a strategy for eliminating circulating exosomes could be beneficial for addressing metastatic disease.
A pivotal publication by Dr. Joshua Hood and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine showed that melanoma exosomes migrate to lymph nodes and alter the biochemical milieu to allow lodging of cancer cells in the establishment of metastatic foci4. Once again, this study suggests that systemic clearance of melanoma exosomes could interrupt the "messenger system" underlying metastasis. Along these same lines, a study by Parolini and colleagues in The Journal of Biological Chemistry demonstrated that melanoma exosomes serve as delivery vehicles for spreading malignant proteins from high aggressive metastatic cells to less aggressive cancer cells5.This article raises the concept that exosomes from a primary tumor can transfer their cargo to distant organs, thereby allowing the malignancy to spread.
Experiments have also demonstrated that the functions of immune cells are impaired by melanoma exosomes6. Since the immune system is responsible for recognizing and destroying cancer cells, exosomes thereby manipulate immunity to allow tumors to grow unchecked. Additionally, since immunotherapy is administered to bolster the patient's endogenous immune response, melanoma exosomes impair the effectiveness of these treatments. On this basis, a device strategy for removal of circulating exosomes could be implemented to reverse immune dysfunction in order to improve the effectiveness of standard of care treatments against metastatic melanoma.
Given these recent scientific developments that reveal broad tumor growth promoting and immune inhibitory effects of melanoma exosomes, there is a strong impetus for moving forward with therapeutic targeting options, which do not exist to date. Clinical studies are needed to define the impact of exosomes in metastatic melanoma and to offer promising new treatment solutions that are urgently needed.

Medical Technology Stock Research Alert for Decision Diagnostics (OTCBB: DECN)

Point Roberts, WA - December 4, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors publishes CFA commentary on Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN), by Patrick J. Murphy of Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on smallcap stocks.

Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN)
Patrick J. Murphy
Decision Diagnostics Corp. is developing products that offer unique solutions in medical care. The Shasta GenStrip® is an at home diagnostic for testing blood glucose designed to run on the Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE: JNJ) LifeScan LifeFirst™ OneTouch® family of meters, which are used by over 5 million people in the U.S. alone and for which JNJ estimates 97% of patients, including those with Medicare, are insured.
Of the products developed by DECN, the Company's Shasta GenStrip® in particular has significant potential for helping the rapidly growing diabetic population. DECN reports that the application for the Shasta GenStrip® was submitted to the FDA in December of 2010, and although the approval process typically now takes in excess of two years, DECN is now responding to a short series of follow up questions from the FDA, subsequent to recent meetings.

Data sourced from Yahoo! Finance; otcbb.com; Company filings

In terms of the overall market opportunity, a report from Research and Markets estimates that the global blood glucose monitoring market was estimated to be worth $8.9 billion in 2010 and is expected to grow 4.5% annually to reach $12.2 billion, with blood glucose test strips representing nearly 90% of the market at $10.9 billion. The report also cites International Diabetes Federation that diabetes affected 366 million people in 2011, or 8.3% of the global population, and that this is projected to increase to 9.9% of the population by 2030.
Trends in the U.S. serve to illustrate what is driving the increase in diabetes - the rise in obesity. According to the American Diabetes Association , approximately 26 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, representing 8.3% of the population, with 1.9 million new cases in 2010. The high prevalence of diabetes is not surprising in light of the data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , which reports that during the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high at nearly 36% of U.S. adults and approximately 17% of children and adolescents aged 2—19. Similarly, metabolic syndrome affects nearly 50 million people in the U.S. Alone: As addressed by the National Institute of Health:
"Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause, but all of the risks for the syndrome are related to obesity.”
Unlike many competing product offerings, Genstrip employs a razor blade only model, a diagnostic test strip, and DECN has stated that the product is likely to cost less than 50% of the branded product without sacrificing quality. As an illustration of the potential appetite for the Genstrip product, DECN's 10-Q notes that the Company was approached by the largest retailer in the world, recently revealed to be Wal-Mart by DECN President and CFO Keith Berman, regarding the sale of Genstrip at its 5,000+ stores globally. DECN reports that a contract was negotiated in September 2010 and subsequently renegotiated and renewed in April 2011. However, while conducting market research during this time and seeking pre-orders, DECN reports that initial market interest was greater than the product capacity of the Company's contract manufacturer, and the Company ended the pre-order initiative while remaining confident there is a very large opportunity for Genstrip in a market dominated by four large pharmaceutical manufacturers which DECN reports sell similar products at similar pricing.
It seems reasonable to speculate increasing prosperity around the world is creating greater disposable income for increasing segments of the population, with increasing leisure time and presumably less manual labor. Whatever the cause or causes may be, the trend towards an increase in obesity and a resulting increase in the diabetes population seems clear, as does the potential opportunity for products that serve that market. Although FDA approval is of course not a certainty, DECN seems to have developed a product with significant potential if approval is obtained.
DECN also has developed a line of medical IT products for the rapidly expanding EMR/HER market. Unlike other medical information systems using standard computer terminals, Decision Diagnostics Corp. uses smart phones, which allow physicians to carry, access and update their patients' histories, medication data, and best care guidelines - all at the point of care. Decision Diagnostics Corp. is a provider of prescription drugs, home testing products for the chronically ill, a fulfillment provider of direct to patient diabetes programs, and a developer of cutting edge cell phone centric e-health products and technologies.

Biotech Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Initiation of Compassionate-Use Program to Treat Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

SAN DIEGO - December 3, 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, today announced the initiation of a compassionate-use clinical program to treat individuals infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The compassionate-use program, which has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Medanta Medicity Institute (Medicity), will provide individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed standard-of-care drug regimens with treatment access to the Aethlon Hemopurifier®. The Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of HCV from the entire circulatory system to improve benefit, dosing, 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. Additional details about the Medicity can be found online at www.medanta.org.
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 opportunity to address infected individuals who fail or subsequently relapse drug therapy is significant as retreatment prognosis with drug therapy alone is often poor. Under the compassionate-use program, the Medicity is offering Hemopurifier® therapy to HCV-infected individuals that reside in India or travel from other regions and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria that have been established for participation.
"We are grateful to the Medicity for providing us the opportunity to improve Hepatitis C treatment outcomes," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "While we plan to be cautious in our initial ramp-up, we do look forward to augmenting our established contract revenue stream with Hemopurifier® product sales."
The Treatment Protocol
The Medicity is offering compassionate-use access to Hemopurifier® therapy on a minimum three-day treatment regimen with the option for patients to extend treatment to a maximum period of seven consecutive days. During each treatment day, Hemopurifier® therapy is administered for a duration up to six-hours. In HCV, the goal of therapy is to accelerate the early viral kinetic response to standard-of-care drug therapy without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks. More specifically, Hemopurifier® therapy targets to increase immediate and rapid virologic response rates, which correlate with high clinical cure rates.
Medicity is offering the three-day treatment regimen at $7,235.00 (USD), which includes Hemopurifier® therapy, physician and support fees, hospital lodging, catheter and other consumables. The cost for each treatment day beyond the minimum three-day regimen is $2,295.00. Pre-treatment consult and post treatment monitoring is charged at $200/day and includes transportation to and from hotel.
The Medicity has established the following inclusion and exclusion criteria for candidate patient consideration:
Inclusion Criteria

• Males or females 18 years of age and older testing positive for any HCV genotype
• Patients who relapsed after completing a previous course of standard-of-care drug therapy
• Null responders or patients who previously were unable to achieve > 2 log viral load reduction at month three of standard of care drug therapy
• Candidate patients must be willing to submit to temporary vascular access catheterization
• Ability to tolerate blood volume losses of up to 150 ml per week
• Stable clinical condition, including stable hematocrit
• Patients on ACE inhibitors must suspend ACE inhibitor administration for a minimum of six days prior to initiating therapy.
• Karnofsky score ≥ 60
• A more detailed list of inclusion criteria, including blood chemistry requirements will be provided to candidate patients who meet the above criteria
• The subject must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and written informed consent obtained prior to enrollment in this study

Exclusion Criteria

• Clinically significant infection, other than HCV, defined as any acute viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, which requires specific therapy (Anti-infectious therapy must have been completed at least 14-days before entry into study).
• Co -infections with Hepatitis B virus and Human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV )
• Received any investigational agent(s) within 28-days of entry into study
• Any known pre-existing medical condition that could interfere with the subject's participation in the protocol, including serious psychiatric disorders, CNS trauma or active seizure disorders requiring medication, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, significant cardiovascular dysfunction within the past 6 months (e.g., angina, congestive heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, severe hypotension, or significant arrhythmia)
• Subjects with ECG showing clinically significant abnormalities
• Need for frequent blood transfusions.
• Recent History of bleeding or bleeding disorders requiring the restriction in use of anticoagulants during study treatments.
• Active immunologically mediated disease (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease [Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis], rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune or inherited hemolytic anemia, scleroderma, severe psoriasis).
• Any medical condition requiring, or likely to require during the course of the study, chronic systemic administration of steroids or other immunoregulatory medications
• Substance abuse, such as alcohol (~80 gm/day), IV drugs, and inhaled drugs (If the subject has a history of substance abuse, to be considered for inclusion into the protocol, the subject must have abstained from using the abused substance for at least 2 months. Subjects receiving methadone within the past year are also excluded.)
• Any cancer requiring systemic chemotherapy
• Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigators, would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment, or could interfere with the subject participating in and completing the protocol

Current HCV Studies
Aethlon has previously reported data from a clinical program 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. In this study, HCV-infected individuals are enrolled to receive up to three, six-hour Hemopurifier® treatments during the first three days of PR drug therapy. Aethlon recently reported that two HCV-infected patients who received 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 this study 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 only10.35% (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.
To date, Aethlon has reported that Hemopurifier® therapy has been well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in the first ten treated patients. Of theseten 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. Aethlon previously reported undetectable HCV RNA in eight of the 10 treated patients. Of the two patients reported to have detectable HCV RNA, one had 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.
Aethlon expects to report updated results, including new patient data from this study in the near future. The Company also disclosed it is presently incorporating new patient data within investigational device exemption (IDE) that is expected to be submitted to FDA by year-end in an effort to gain approval to initiate HCV clinical programs in the United States.

Medical Technology Stock Q&A with Decision Diagnostics (OTCBB: DECN)

New York, New York, Point Roberts, WA - November 28, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. Keith Berman , President and CFO of Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTCBB: DECN). Mr.Berman discusses the market and opportunity for its lead product, GenStrip® Blood Glucose Test Strips.

Q: Investorideas.com
Keith for investors that aren't familiar with your company, can you give a brief outline of your lead product and what differentiates GenStrip® Blood Glucose Test Strips from its competitors?
A: Mr. Keith Berman, President and CFO
Our Shasta Genstrip product is an at-home diagnostic product for the testing of blood glucose. Genstrip is designed specifically to run on the venerable family of Johnson+Johnson's Lifescan family of meters. This family of meters is in use by over 5 million diabetics worldwide.
At home diagnostic testing is a fast growing market, currently used to monitor blood glucose, primarily as a result of modern society lifestyle issues, and is the most important aid in the fight against spread of diabetes. Genstrip is the first product to reach the market in almost a decade as an alternative to brand name diagnostic products. Since its predecessor generic test strips were sold in the late 1990s, the market for at-home testing has grown 20-fold.
Q: Investorideas.com
A report from MarketResearch.com recently noted - Although the blood glucose testing segment of the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry is mature, certain segments of the market, such as home testing devices for diabetes management, will exhibit strong growth . Can you give investors insight as to the size of the market and opportunity?
A: Mr. Keith Berman, President and CFO
At home glucose testing is the fastest growth segment of personal health management. The personal diabetes meter has matured to become another must-have, must-need, home appliance. While at-home testing is not a new market, my father for instance tested his glucose levels using at-home urine test strips in the 1970s, the last decade has seen explosive growth in monitoring diagnostic products The market for at-home blood glucose testing reached $1 billion per year for the first time in 2000. By 2017 the market is expected to reach $32 billion worldwide. A rule of thumb is that the U.S. and Canada account for one-half of the market, the rest of the world the other half.
Q: Investorideas.com
According to your SEC filings the Company is underway with the FDA approval process for GenStrip®. Can you give us a brief outline of the history and the process for approval?
A: Mr. Keith Berman, President and CFO
Shasta Genstrip, like all at-home diagnostic products require approval of the U.S. FDA. The process that Genstrip traveled through, called Substantial Equivalency Review ("SE"), was first put in place in the mid-1970s as a way to speed up the regulatory process. Over the last three decades this "speedy" process has morphed into something never envisioned by the U.S. Congress when these laws and regulations were first passed with near unanimous support. Approvals now take in excess of two years. The SE 510k application was filed in early December 2010.
Q: Investorideas.com
If and when the Company does receive FDA approval what is the timeline for distribution into the sales channels? And how would this typically roll out?
A: Mr. Keith Berman, President and CFO
We have had plenty of time to ready ourselves for the ultimate FDA approval of Genstrip. Because of its unique design all of the potential Genstrip customers already make use daily of original manufacturer's platform. Our potential customer base is well known, well studied, and by new product standards, very large.
By law the company could not take orders for Genstrip until there was/is an approval from FDA, but since February 2011 we have been allowed to do some demonstration projects to collect data etc. We used this time to familiarize the market with the upcoming product through the company's normal and historical distribution channels. We secured a supplier contract with Walmart Stores in an incredible 35 days. We have accepted, as a part of our overall responsibilities, working with the Genstrip manufacturer to make product forecasts. We readied the Genstrip Value Proposition. And, it has not hurt that all of the potential consumers of Genstrip have used the predecessor product for, in some cases, almost a decade.
