GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Presents at BIO CEO & Investor Conference

Biotech News Alert: GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Presents at BIO CEO & Investor Conference

Company Plans for Multi-Pronged, Long Term Expansion of Novel Treatment Platform

NEW YORK - February 2, 2015 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ) announced today that Craig Dionne, Ph.D., chief executive officer at GenSpera, will present at the 17th Annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference on February 9th at 1 p.m. at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The presentation comes as GenSpera continues clinical development of mipsagargin for several tumor types and expands the applicability of its innovative mechanism of action in a broad array of oncology treatments.

The presentation will provide an update on GenSpera's long-term business growth plans, recent clinical achievements for mipsagargin in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its ongoing Phase II trials in glioblastoma and prostate cancer. Last month, GenSpera presented positive Phase II study results for mipsagargin in treating HCC at the 2015 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, Calif., demonstrating a proof of concept for its intellectual property. A live webcast of the BIO CEO presentation will be broadcast at: http://www.veracast.com/webcasts/bio/ceoinvestor2015/37117595001.cfm.

"We have reached an important milestone with positive Phase II results, which demonstrated that mipsagargin works as designed and destroys established tumor vasculature while sparing patients the debilitating side effects of traditional chemotherapy," said Dionne. "We are confident that this now proven state-of-the-art precision approach has every potential to be a game changer in how we treat cancer."

Mipsagargin's mechanism of action works by targeting the enzyme prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is highly expressed in all cancer tumor vasculature and in prostate cancer cells. The Phase II study results presented in San Francisco demonstrated that the prodrug effectively stabilizes progression of HCC by reducing blood flow within tumors while not affecting blood flow within normal tissues. The study also showed indications that patients had improved quality of life and fewer side effects than typically seen in cancer treatment. After successfully demonstrating its proof of concept, GenSpera will move forward with plans to show that mipsagargin is effective across a broad array of tumor indications.

"We are committed to the ongoing development of our technology and working to change the landscape of oncology treatment," continued Dionne. "We believe that the positive clinical results we have observed with mipsagargin will extend to other drug candidates in our portfolio."

Identifying ground-breaking oncology treatments that circumvent side effects, particularly in hard to treat cancers is a key area of oncology research. In the United States, more than 33,000 new cases of HCC will be diagnosed in 2015. Globally, liver cancer is a primary public health issue with more than 700,000 people diagnosed and more than 600,000 deaths annually. There is currently only one approved treatment available for liver cancer.

Additionally, more than 13,000 new cases of glioblastoma are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.

The 17th Annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference is the largest independent investor conference focused on publicly-traded biotechnology companies. The conference is designed to foster an informative dialogue between institutional investors and senior biotechnology executives about emerging and current investment opportunities. The 2014 BIO CEO & Investor Conference featured 1,820 partnering meetings, 149 company presentations and 1,400 attendees, over half of which were investors.

GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Announces Positive Phase II Data for Investigational Agent Mipsagargin

GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Announces Positive Phase II Data for Investigational Agent Mipsagargin

First-in-Class Agent is Well Tolerated in Liver Cancer Patients

SAN ANTONIO - January 16, 2015 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ) today announced the encouraging results of a Phase II study of mipsagargin (G-202), an investigational agent for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The results will be presented today (12:00 to 2:00 p.m. PST, Abstract #301) in a poster presentation at the 2015 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California.

The Phase II results demonstrated that mipsagargin appears to be effective and is well-tolerated by HCC patients. Mipsagargin targets the enzyme prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is highly expressed in tumor vasculature and prostate cancer cells. The Phase II study results (n=25) demonstrate that the prodrug effectively stabilizes progression of HCC by reducing blood flow within tumors while not affecting blood flow within normal tissues.

"We are very encouraged with the positive results from this Phase II trial that demonstrate the tolerability and show indications of effectiveness of mipsagargin in advanced liver cancer patients," said Craig Dionne, PhD, chief executive officer at GenSpera. "Mipsagargin is a first-in-class agent with a novel mechanism of action that is unlike any other drug being tested in patients with advanced liver cancer. Based on the results of this study, we intend to move forward with a large, global Phase III trial."

Mipsagargin's targeted approach differs from other vascular targeting agents by destroying established tumor vasculature rather than slowing the growth of new tumor blood vessels. The PSMA-targeting agent is designed to minimize side effects commonly observed with other therapies, while maximizing activity against tumors.

"These results demonstrate the potential that mipsagargin has to treat one of the world's deadliest cancers," said Devalingam Mahalingam, MD, PhD, an oncologist at the Cancer Therapy & Research Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and principal investigator of the study. "In addition to observing prolonged disease stabilization in some patients, we noted anecdotal evidence that patients had improved performance status with much less fatigue and side effects associated with other anti-cancer therapeutics."

With Phase II complete, GenSpera is designing a large, international Phase III study which will further define the anti-tumor potential of mipsagargin in liver cancer patients. More information on mipsagargin (G-202) can be found at www.genspera.com.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common form of cancer that originates in the liver. In the United States, more than 33,000 new cases will be diagnosed in 2015. Globally, liver cancer is a primary public health issue with more than 700,000 people diagnosed and more than 600,000 deaths annually. It is the most common type of cancer in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. A liver cancer diagnosis is often subsequent to other liver disease, making treatment of a highly compromised patient population particularly challenging.

Data Establishes Foundation for Continued Investigation

The Phase II study (Abstract #301) of mipsagargin was a multi-site, single arm study designed to assess time to progression and response rate to treatment. The study measured disease progression in 25 patients with advanced-stage liver disease and poor liver reserves who had failed first line treatment with sorafenib. Patients were administered episodic dosing of mipsagargin on the first three days of each treatment cycle. Study participants experienced a median time to progression of 4.2 months, nearly twice the time demonstrated in prior studies with placebo or ineffective agents. Thirty-five percent of patients received 5 or more cycles of treatment with an average time on study of 7.1 months. Additionally, mipsagargin demonstrated decreased blood flow in liver tumors as measured by DCE-MRI.

About GenSpera

GenSpera's technology platform combines a powerful, plant-derived cytotoxin (thapsigargin) with a prodrug delivery system that provides for the targeted release of drug candidates within a tumor. GenSpera's lead drug candidate, mipsagargin, is activated by the enzyme PSMA, which is found at high levels in the vasculature of liver and glioblastoma cancers, and in the vasculature of almost all other solid tumors. Mipsagargin is therefore expected to have potential efficacy in a wide variety of tumor types. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug designation in 2013 for the evaluation of mipsagargin in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). Mipsagargin Phase II clinical trials are underway in both hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma patients (brain cancer).

Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Approval of Ebola Treatment Protocol

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Announces Approval of Ebola Treatment Protocol

SAN DIEGO - January 2, 2015 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), the pioneer in developing targeted therapeutic devices to address infectious diseases and cancer, today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a clinical protocol to treat Ebola-infected individuals in the U.S. with the Aethlon Hemopurifier®. In the treatment of viral pathogens, the Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class bio-filtration device designed for the single-use removal of viruses and shed glycoproteins from the circulatory system of infected individuals. The device targets antiviral drug resistance and serves as a first-line countermeasure against Ebola and other viruses that are not addressed with proven drug therapies.

The approved Ebola treatment protocol allows for an investigational study to be conducted at up to 10 U.S. clinical sites, and up to 20 U.S. subjects may be enrolled to receive the treatment protocol. Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will receive a daily six to eight hour administration of Hemopurifier® therapy until the point that Ebola viral load drops below 1000 copies/ml. The goal of the study is to standardize and evaluate the use of the Hemopurifier® as supportive care in the treatment of Ebola virus disease.

The Ebola treatment protocol resulted from the submission of a supplement to an Investigation Device Exemption (IDE) previously approved by FDA. The supplement was entitled, "Treatment of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Humans with the Aethlon Hemopurifier® Lectin Affinity Plasmapheresis Device." Based on the previously approved IDE protocol, Aethlon is conducting a clinical feasibility study of Hemopurifier® therapy in individuals infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) who are also receiving chronic dialysis therapy. A detailed description of the HCV study, including treatment protocol and patient inclusion/exclusion criteria can be accessed online at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

As the approved Ebola treatment protocol is a deviation from the HCV protocol, Aethlon is required to clearly distinguish data collected in the supplemental Ebola protocol study from data derived from the Company's HCV trials. The Company may not combine data from the two studies. Aethlon must also comply with specified patient protection procedures established by the applicable institution including its institutional review board approval prior to treating a patient under the supplement protocol. The Company must also report any unanticipated adverse events resulting from the supplement protocol to the FDA within 10 working days of the use of the device. There is no assurance that any Ebola-infected patients will be treated under the protocol.

Aethlon previously reported that Hemopurifier® therapy was successfully administered to a critically-ill Ebola patient at Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany. On November 14, 2014, the resulting Hemopurifier® treatment data was presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting by Helmut Geiger, M.D., Chief of Nephrology at Goethe University, Frankfurt University Hospital. Dr. Geiger reported that 242 million Ebola viruses were captured within the Hemopurifier® during treatment, a number verified by a post-treatment elution protocol. The elution protocol has since be repeated, which resulted in second measurement of 253 million copies of Ebola virus captured within the Hemopurifier®.

Dr. Geiger also reported that the patient's viral load prior to the administration of a single 6.5-hour Hemopurifier® treatment was measured at 400,000 virus copies per milliliter of blood (copies/ml). A post-treatment viral load measurement was reported to be 1,000 copies/ml. The treatment was well tolerated with no adverse events reported. At the time of treatment, the Ebola patient was unconscious and suffering from multiple organ failure, which required mechanical ventilation, continuous dialysis and the administration of vasopressor medications. The patient has since made a full recovery and returned home to his family.

Time Magazine recently named the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to be one of the 25 best inventions of 2014. The magazine also included the Hemopurifier® as one of the 11 most remarkable advances in healthcare in 2014.
