Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) Announces the Conclusion of Hemopurifier Clinical Study

Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) Announces the Conclusion of Hemopurifier Clinical Study



SAN DIEGO, CA - March 13, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEMD), a therapeutic technology company focused on unmet needs in global health and biodefense, announced today that the company has concluded an FDA-approved feasibility study designed to assess the safety of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® in health-compromised individuals. The single-site study was conducted at DaVita Med Center Dialysis in Houston, Texas.

The Hemopurifier is a first-in-class medical device that reduces the presence of circulating viruses in infected individuals. The technology is a first-line candidate defense against a broad-spectrum of viruses that are not addressed with antiviral drug therapies, including natural occurring pandemic threats and agents of bioterrorism.  Additionally, the device provides a strategy to augment the benefit of proven antiviral drug regimens.

The Hemopurifier had previously been administered to individuals infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV and the Ebola virus, for which it was approved by the FDA under Emergency-Use Authorization. 

In the feasibility study, the Hemopurifier was observed to be well tolerated in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) volunteers who were also infected with Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The inclusion of HCV-infected ESRD subjects served as a model to demonstrate virus reduction. No device-related adverse events were observed in enrolled subjects who met the study inclusion/exclusion criteria.

The study originally was estimated to enroll ten subjects, but was concluded after the treatment of eight subjects based on the Hemopurifier being well-tolerated in the study, the breadth of previous human treatment experiences and the absence of qualified HCV-infected ESRD candidates at the study location.

"We achieved our primary study objective, which was to demonstrate that our Hemopurifier can be safely administered to very health-compromised individuals," stated Jim Joyce, Chairman and CEO of Aethlon Medical. "We will now proceed to submit a final report and look forward to collaborating with our FDA review team to establish market clearance pathways to treat viral threats that are not well addressed with traditional drug therapies."

In preclinical studies, the Hemopurifier has been demonstrated to capture a wide-range of bioterror and pandemic threats that are not addressed with antiviral drug therapies.

Aethlon believes the device can fulfill the broad-spectrum medical countermeasure objective of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise (PHEMCE).  This initiative is directed toward bioterror, pandemic threats and other pathogens that are not well addressed with drug or vaccine therapies.

The Company also seeks to advance the Hemopurifier under the provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act, which was signed into law in December 2016.  The Act establishes new rules that direct the FDA to approve drugs and devices with greater urgency.  Specific to medical devices, the Act requires the FDA to establish a priority review program for "breakthrough" devices, or for devices that target diseases for which no FDA-cleared or approved alternatives are available.


About The Study Protocol
The study was a single-arm, sequential, controlled feasibility/safety study in which each enrolled subject served as his/her own control. The control period was the week immediately preceding the administration of Hemopurifier therapy, during which eligible subjects were monitored during three standard intermittent hemodialysis sessions, which are require to maintain the life of ESRD patients. Collected data points included vital signs, blood chemistries, hematology and liver function. On weeks two and three, enrolled subjects received the administration of Hemopurifier® therapy three times per week (6-Hemopurifier treatments in total) coincident with their ongoing standard intermittent hemodialysis treatments. During these two weeks, subjects were assessed for the same clinical parameters as during the control period.  The collected data will be included in a final report to be provided to FDA.  The final report will also include observations of viral load reduction during treatment, as well as a quantitative post-treatment assessment of total viruses captured within the Hemopurifier.



About Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Aethlon Medical develops immunotherapeutic technologies to combat infectious disease and cancer. To augment the body's natural immune defenses, the Aethlon Hemopurifier® reduces the presence of circulating viruses in infected individuals. The technology provides a first-line candidate defense against viruses that are not addressed with proven drug therapies, including natural occurring pandemic threats and agents of bioterrorism. The Hemopurifier® can also be deployed as a strategy to improve the benefit of approved antiviral drug regimens. At present, the Hemopurifier® is being advanced in the United States under an FDA approved clinical study.  Aethlon Medical is also investigating the potential use of the Hemopurifier® to reduce the presence of tumor-derived exosomes, which contribute to immune-suppression and the spread of metastasis in cancer patients. Aethlon Medical is also the majority owner of Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI), which is focused on the discovery of exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and monitor cancer and neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).  ESI's TauSome™ biomarker is being clinically evaluated as the basis for a blood-based test to identify CTE in living individuals.  Additional information can be found online at www.AethlonMedical.com and www.ExosomeSciences.com.

Biodefense Stocks News: Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) CEO Note: Bill Gates on the Threat of Bioterrorism

Biodefense Stocks News: Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ: $AEMD) CEO Note:  Bill Gates on the Threat of Bioterrorism




SAN DIEGO, CA (Investorideas Newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEMD), recently released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce.

In a chilling address at the Munich Security Conference last Saturday, Bill Gates warned world leaders that a genetically engineered virus could kill more people than nuclear weapons. Mr. Gates expressed his concern, which is also supported by U.S. and U.K. intelligence agencies, that scientific terrorists have access to the necessary tools to design biological viruses to be weapons that could kill tens of millions of people. He also concluded that in the face of such knowledge, governments around the world remain complacent and are neither prepared nor equipped to respond to these threats.

If you are a shareholder of Aethlon Medical, you may recognize the concerns of Mr. Gates to be eerily similar to our own. As a recent example, I encourage you to review the bioterror related article that we published last year on the 21st of December.


For those dedicated to the advancement of bioterror treatment solutions, Mr. Gates is a welcome and respected voice with the visibility, influence and knowledge to recognize that therapeutic innovation will be required to counter deadly viruses created by man.

If bioterrorists were to release such a virus, I am sincerely unaware of a clinical-stage candidate beyond our Hemopurifier® that could be deployed as a post-exposure treatment countermeasure.

The void in bioterrorism treatment countermeasures is driven by a historic emphasis to align a disease-specific drug or vaccine which only targets one specific pathogen threat. Such strategies have had limited success against the breadth of threats that are known to be infectious to man and cannot be considered as a strategy to treat unknown viruses created by man.

In reality, only a fraction of the 300+ viruses known to be infectious to man are addressed with an FDA-cleared drug or vaccine.  Since 2001, our government has spent an estimated $80 billion on biodefense initiatives, yet just one of 13 viruses classified as "Category A" are addressed with an approved therapy.  "Category A" pathogens are those biological threats that pose the highest risk to national security and public health.  In addition, these types of viral pathogens maintain the potential to be genetically engineered to be used as weapons that are even more deadly and resistant than those viruses that are naturally occurring.

Our Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical technology currently being advanced in FDA approved studies.  In previous studies, our technology has demonstrated the ability to capture a wide range of bioterror related, pandemic, chronic and latent infectious viral pathogens.

We believe the Hemopurifier® can fulfill the broad-spectrum medical countermeasure objective of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise (PHEMCE).  This initiative is directed toward bioterror, pandemic threats and other pathogens that are not well addressed with traditional drug or vaccine therapies.

A little more than a decade ago, we were invited to attend an international scientific symposium hosted by the National Center for Biodefense. At the time, our Hemopurifier® was still a development-stage vision. Regardless, the keynote speaker, who formerly led the Soviet Union's biological weapons program, emphasized our approach to be the only way to counter the breadth of viruses that could emerge naturally through mother nature or be created by man as agents of bioterror.

We never forgot that statement.




About the Aethlon Hemopurifier®
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical technology currently being advanced in FDA approved studies as a broad-spectrum treatment countermeasure against infectious viral pathogens.  Named a "Top 25 Invention" and one of the "Eleven Most Remarkable Advances in Healthcare," by TIME Magazine, the Hemopurifier® has previously been administered to individuals infected with Ebola virus, Hepatitis C virus and the Human Immunodeficiency virus, which leads to HIV AIDS.

Beyond human treatment experiences, pre-clinical Hemopurifier® studies have validated the capture of Chikungunya, Dengue, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, West Nile and Zika virus, as well as Vaccinia and Monkey pox, which serve as models for human Smallpox infection.  Specific to pandemic influenza threats, Aethlon has validated the capture of H5N1 avian flu, H1N1 swine flu, and the reconstructed 1918 influenza virus, which represents a model for the strain of influenza that killed an estimated 50 million victims in 1918 and 1919.

The Hemopurifier has also been demonstrated to capture Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Herpes Simplex virus 1 (HSV1), which are latent viruses often associated with increased mortality in immune-suppressed sepsis patients.  These pathogens also contribute to organ rejection in transplant patients.  To validate treatment performance, the Hemopurifier is supported by the HP Virus Capture Assay, which quantifies the number of viruses captured within the Hemopurifier and no longer circulating in the patient.

About Aethlon Medical
Aethlon Medical (AEMD) is a leading developer of immunotherapeutic technologies to combat infectious disease and cancer.  To augment the body's natural immune defenses, the Aethlon Hemopurifier® eliminates life-threatening disease targets that are often shielded from the immune system and not well addressed by traditional drug therapies.
