Repost This

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.
