GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Presents Mipsagargin (G-202) HCC Clinical Trial Update at 8th International Liver Cancer Association Conference

Biotech News Alert: GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Presents Mipsagargin (G-202) HCC Clinical Trial Update at 8th International Liver Cancer Association Conference

50% of Patients Treated with Mipsagargin had No Tumor Growth at Four Months

SAN ANTONIO - September 8, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ), a leader in developing prodrug therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, presented the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver cancer, Phase II clinical trial update for mipsagargin (G-202) at the 8th International Liver Cancer Association (ILCA) Conference on Saturday, September 6, 2014, in Kyoto, Japan. CEO, Craig Dionne, PhD, will discuss these results in further detail during the Company's presentation at the Rodman & Renshaw 16th Annual Global Investment Conference on Tuesday, September 9th at 12:05 p.m. Eastern.

GenSpera presented a poster containing interim results from the Phase Ib and ongoing Phase II study in HCC patients who had previously progressed on, or who were intolerant of, sorafenib, a drug co-developed and co-marketed by Bayer and Onyx Pharmaceuticals. Historically, this patient population has a median time to progression of only two months when they enter subsequent clinical trials. Impressively, 50% of patients exhibited stable disease (no tumor growth) at 4 months on study.

"Mipsagargin is differentiated from most other drugs being tested in HCC due to its well-tolerated safety profile and the significant proportion of patients that experience prolonged disease stabilization while on treatment," stated Dr. Craig Dionne, GenSpera CEO. "Liver cancer is the third largest cancer killer worldwide and is expected to represent a $1.5 billion market by 2019. We are encouraged by these early stage positive results and what they imply for our ongoing and planned Phase II clinical trials for mipsagargin in glioblastoma, prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma patients."

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. Unlike typical chemotherapeutic agents, thapsigargin results in cell death irrespective of the rate of cell division, which may provide an effective approach to kill both fast- and slow-growing cancers. 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.

Mipsagargin Phase II clinical trials are underway in both hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma patients.

Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) and Exosome Sciences Announce the Advancement of a Broad-Spectrum Cancer Detection and Monitoring Platform

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) and Exosome Sciences Announce the Advancement of a Broad-Spectrum Cancer Detection and Monitoring Platform

SAN DIEGO and PRINCETON, N.J. - September 8, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), and its diagnostic subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI), announced today that ESI researchers have developed and initially validated a lectin-based diagnostic platform that is able to isolate exosome-based biomarkers underlying a broad-spectrum of oncology indications. Aethlon Medical develops targeted therapeutic devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions. ESI develops exosome-based solutions to diagnose and monitor cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

In the validation studies, ESI researchers provided evidence that their diagnostic platform could identify the presence of cancer in analyzed blood samples from individuals suffering from glioblastoma, metastatic melanoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer. Beyond the potential implications in diagnosing cancer, ESI researchers believe the high-sensitivity of the platform will allow for effective monitoring of cancer progression and response to corresponding therapies. In oncology indications, the sensitivity of the ESI platform also represents an advancement over the ELLSA assay that was originally developed by Aethlon Medical to quantify changes in circulating exosome load resulting from the administration of Aethlon Hemopurifier® therapy. The Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class therapeutic device that targets the rapid elimination of circulating viruses and tumor-secreted exosomes, which in addition to being an oncology biomarker, suppress the immune system and contribute to the spread of metastasis in cancer patients.

Based on previously reported discoveries related to progressive neurodegenerative disorders, Aethlon further disclosed that the ESI team has initiated follow-on studies to advance a candidate blood test to identify and monitor the progression of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). At present, CTE is only diagnosed through postmortem autopsy. CTE has been most commonly found at autopsy in former National Football League (NFL) players and has also been demonstrated to be prevalent in soldiers exposed to blast injury.

In previous disclosures, ESI researchers reported that they had successfully isolated brain-specific biomarkers that could have implications in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), CTE and Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). The studies provided evidence that the ESI platform could also detect exosomes as a basis for a "liquid biopsy" to diagnose neurologic conditions. While exosomes from the central nervous system had previously been identified in the cerebrospinal fluid, the ESI team identified exosomes carrying brain-specific markers tau, beta-amyloid, glycoprotein A2B5 and S100B protein that had been transported across the blood-brain barrier and into the circulatory system.

"I am immensely proud of the ESI research team as their considerable breadth of collected data reinforces the possibility that a single platform could detect and monitor a wide-range of disease conditions," stated Aethlon Medical CEO Jim Joyce, who also serves as Executive Chairman at ESI. Mr. Joyce founded ESI on behalf of Aethlon Medical shareholders as a means to explore if the lectin-affinity techniques underlying Hemopurifier® therapy could provide a basis for proprietary diagnostic applications.

In the oncology platform validation studies, 198 single point serum specimens (taken at the time of cancer diagnosis) were analyzed from patients with Glioblastoma, Metastatic Melanoma, Breast cancer, Ovarian cancer, Colorectal cancer and Pancreatic cancer, plus 20 age-matched, female and male non-cancer controls. In the studies, the ESI platform was consistently able to differentiate individuals afflicted with cancer as compared to non-cancer controls. The tested serum specimens were obtained from commercial and collaborative academic biorepositories. A breakdown of the analyzed cancer specimens include:

·        Glioblastoma – 5 late stage

·        Metastatic Melanoma – 20 late stage

·        Ovarian cancer - 31 early stage and 114 late stage

·        Colorectal cancer – 7 early stage and 7 late stage

·        Pancreatic cancer – 2 early stage and 12 late stage

Based on the data collected, ESI plans to establish collaborations and clinical partnerships to further validate its platform and identify specific oncology and neurodegenerative indications where the platform offers to improve upon standard of care methods to diagnose and monitor disease progression.

Additional study details will be presented at the Exosomes & Single Cell Analysis Summit to be held on September 18th and 19th, 2014.

GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Announces Generic Name “Mipsagargin” for Lead Drug Candidate G-202 per Recommendation by World Health Organization

Biotech News Alert: GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Announces Generic Name “Mipsagargin” for Lead Drug Candidate G-202 per Recommendation by World Health Organization

Mipsagargin Contains New Pre-Stem “Gargin”, Defining a Unique Pharmacologic Group Unlike Any Drug Currently or Previously on the Market

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, September 3, 2014 – (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ), a leader in developing prodrug therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today announced that the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Nonproprietary Name (INN) group has recommended the generic name “mipsagargin” (mip sa gar’ jin) for its lead drug candidate, also known as G-202, currently in Phase II clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) and glioblastoma (brain cancer). Mipsagargin was also recommended by the United States Adopted Names Council (USAN) of the American Medical Association.

Craig Dionne, PhD, GenSpera's CEO, spoke to the significance of this issuance, “We are pleased that the INN division of WHO and the USAN Council recognized the unique nature of mipsagargin by affording it the new suffix, or pre-stem, of “gargin.” The WHO issues approximately 160 name recommendations per year with only 1-2% having new suffixes. New suffixes are generally given to compounds with a unique mechanism of action or structure and serve to define such compound as the first in a possible new class of pharmacological agents. We believe mipsagargin’s name recommendation is the result of G-202’s novel nature and our innovative approaches to cancer therapy.”

GenSpera recently released interim results from the Phase Ib and ongoing Phase II study in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who had previously progressed on, or who were intolerant of sorafenib. Data showed 80% of patients treated with mipsagargin had stable disease (no tumor growth) at two months and 50% of patients exhibited stable disease at four months on study. In addition, imaging analysis demonstrated an impressive blockade of tumor blood flow in the single patient evaluated by this method to date.

About Nonproprietary Names

Obtaining a nonproprietary (generic) name is a required part of bringing a new drug to market. The generic names of pharmacologically-related substances demonstrate their relationship by using a common "stem". Using common stems, medical practitioners, pharmacists, or people dealing with pharmaceutical products are able to recognize that the substance belongs to a group of substances having similar pharmacological activity. The generic name mipsagargin includes a novel pre-stem, “gargin”, indicating that it is unlike any named drug currently or previously on the market or in development. The pre-stem “gargin” may become an established stem over time, usually as other later developed drugs are recognized to be related in structure or activity to mipsagargin.

Each International Nonproprietary Name is a unique name that is globally recognized and is public property.

Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Announces Receipt of IRB Approval to Initiate Hemopurifier™ Clinical Studies

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Announces Receipt of IRB Approval to Initiate Hemopurifier™ Clinical Studies

SAN DIEGO - September 2, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), the pioneer in developing targeted therapeutic devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, announced today that it has received independent internal review board (IRB) approval to initiate human clinical studies of Hemopurifier® therapy at DaVita MedCenter Dialysis located in Houston, Texas.

Aethlon previously disclosed that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that would allow for the initiation of Hemopurifier® feasibility studies in the United States. As a result of the independent IRB approval, the Company is now permitted to initiate the IDE approved study. Enrollment of patients who meet the study inclusion/exclusion criteria is expected to begin in the coming weeks. The Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class therapeutic device that targets the rapid elimination of circulating viruses and tumor-secreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of cancer patients.

Upon receipt of IDE approval from FDA, Aethlon initiated discussions with various clinical partner candidates. On February 26, 2014, the Company disclosed that it had reached an agreement in principle with DaVita Clinical Research® (DCR) and subsequently disclosed that it had completed a definitive agreement with DCR on May 20, 2014. DCR is a specialty contract research organization (CRO) with experience in conducting more than 300 early phase clinical trials. As a subsidiary of DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc, DCR has access to one third of the total U.S. ESRD patient population and maintains a network that exceeds 150 investigative physicians' practices at more than 250 clinical sites.

Aethlon further disclosed that Dr. Stephen Z. Fadem had been named Principal Investigator of the IDE approved study. Dr. Fadem is Chief Medical Officer at Kidney Associates, PLLC and the Medical Director for the Houston Kidney Center Integrated Service Network at DaVita Kidney Care, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.

Under the feasibility study protocol, Aethlon will enroll ten end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are infected with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) to demonstrate the safety of Hemopurifier® therapy in an infectious disease model. Upon successful completion of the feasibility study, Aethlon plans to conduct pivotal efficacy studies required for market clearance to treat HCV and other chronic viral indications. Previous clinical studies of Hemopurifier® therapy have been conducted in HIV and HCV-infected individuals at the Apollo Hospital, Fortis Hospital, Sigma New Life Hospital, and the Medanta Medicity Institute, all located in India.

Aethlon's feasibility study will also contribute safety data to advance the Hemopurifier® as a broad-spectrum countermeasure against high-risk bioterror and pandemic threats, which are so lethal they do not allow for the administration of clinical efficacy studies. In this regard, the Company is pursuing Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approvals based on previous human treatment outcomes and pre-clinical validations against a broad-spectrum of viral pathogens.

Previously, in vitro studies of bioterror and pandemic threats have verified Hemopurifier® capture of ebola hemorrhagic virus, dengue hemorrhagic virus, lassa hemorrhagic virus, H5N1 avian influenza (bird flu), the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus (r1918), 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu), West Nile virus, and monkeypox, which serves as a model for human smallpox infection. These studies were conducted with leading government and non- government research organizations, including The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The National Institute of Virology (NIV), The Battelle Biomedical Research Center (BBRC) and The Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR).

Aethlon also disclosed that it may pursue investigate Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) pathways for orphan indications that affect fewer than 4,000 individuals in the U.S. each year.

GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Media Advisory; "Targeting thapsigargin towards tumors" Published in Steroids

GenSpera (OTCQB:GNSZ) Media Advisory; "Targeting thapsigargin towards tumors" Published in Steroids

SAN ANTONIO - August 28, 2014 (Investorideas.com Biotech Newswire) GenSpera, Inc. (OTCQB:GNSZ), a leader in developing prodrug therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, announces the recent publication of the article "Targeting thapsigargin towards tumors" in the journal Steroids.

The recent article co-authored by Doan, et al. (see full reference below), reviews the evolution and development of GenSpera's prodrug technology platform that is designed to deliver the potent, cytotoxic activity of thapsigargin (from the plant Thapsia garganica) directly to tumors. These efforts led to the development of mipsagargin (G-202), which is now in Phase II clinical trials in liver cancer and brain cancer.

The article details the discovery and isolation of thapsigargin, the elucidation of its molecular structure, and determination of its biochemical and pharmacological activities.

These efforts revealed the potential utility of thapsigargin as a potent, but non-selective anti-cancer agent. It was recognized that in order to harness the profound cytotoxic activity of thapsigargin, one would need to develop a way of delivering it specifically to tumors in order to avoid side effects.

The paper also goes on to describe the medicinal chemistry efforts to develop derivatives of thapsigargin in order to create protease-activated prodrugs that could be activated only within the tumors. The in vitro and in vivo experiments led to a number of potentially useful prodrugs directed to the tumor-selective enzymes PSMA, PSA and hK-2. Mipsagargin is the most developmentally advanced drug candidate and is activated by the enzyme PSMA, which is found in the blood vessels of almost all solid tumors.

About GenSpera (GNSZ):

GenSpera's technology platform combines a powerful, plant-derived cytotoxin (thapsigargin) with a pro-drug delivery system that provides for the targeted release of drug candidates within a tumor. Unlike typical chemotherapeutic agents, thapsigargin results in cell death irrespective of the rate of cell division, which may provide an effective approach to kill both fast- and slow-growing cancers. GenSpera's lead drug candidate, G-202, 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. G-202 is therefore expected to have potential efficacy in a wide variety of tumor types.

G-202 Phase II clinical trials are underway in hepatocellular carcinoma, glioblastoma and prostate cancer patients.
