Aethlon Medical Reports on Landmark Human Study
Aethlon Medical, Inc., (OTCBB:AEMD) disclosed today that it has
published a paper entitled: “A Clinical Report on the Safety
of the Aethlon HemopurifierTM.” The
report details the landmark use of the HemopurifierTM
in a human infectious disease study conducted at the Apollo Hospital in
Delhi, India. The HemopurifierTM is a
first-in-class device designed to fill the void in treating drug and
vaccine resistant pathogens. The report is available online at: www.aethlonmedical.com/pdfs/ApolloHospitalSafetyStudy.pdf
“The Apollo study advances our mission to establish the industry for
medical devices to treat infectious disease,” stated Aethlon Chairman &
CEO James A. Joyce. “The study also triggers our regulatory endeavors in
the United States and sets the stage for us to expand efforts to treat
multiple disease targets in India,” concluded Joyce.
The report details clinical data collected during a study sponsored by
Aethlon Medical to demonstrate the safety of the HemopurifierTM
in health-compromised humans. The study also provided an opportunity to
observe the capture of Hepatitis-C virus (“HCV”) from HCV infected end
stage renal disease (“ESRD”) study subjects undergoing intermittent
dialysis. In tested cartridges, up to 52% of pre-treatment viral load
was captured during a single treatment with the HemopurifierTM.
Twenty-four Hemopurifier cartridges were tested on four study subjects
suffering from ESRD and HCV infection. Each cartridge purified the blood
of study subjects for up to four hours in six sequential treatments per
patient every two to three days. All enrolled patients completed the
entire treatment regimen.
About Aethlon Medical
Aethlon Medical is developing the first-in-class medical device to treat
infectious disease. The device, known as the HemopurifierTM,
is a broad-spectrum treatment countermeasure against drug and vaccine
resistant bioweapons, naturally evolving pandemic threats such as H5N1
Avian Flu, and chronic infectious disease targets, including Hepatitis-C
(HCV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Global researcher
Frost & Sullivan recently awarded the HemopurifierTM
the 2006 Technology Innovation Award
for its advances in the field of biodefense. Aethlon has also initiated
research on a second generation HemopurifierTM
that targets the capture of growth factors inherent in the spread of
Cancer. More information on Aethlon Medical and the HemopurifierTM
