About Aethlon Medical

Aethlon Medical has developed a first-in-class medical device to assist in the treatment of infectious disease. The device, known as the Hemopurifier[R], is a platform technology positioned to be a broad-spectrum treatment for drug and vaccine resistant bioweapons, naturally evolving pandemic threats, and chronic infectious disease targets including Hepatitis-C (HCV) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Aethlon has recently submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting permission to initiate human safety studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier([R]) as a treatment countermeasure against select category "A" bioterror threats. Additional studies to demonstrate utility of the Hemopurifier([R]) as a countermeasure against bioterror threats are being conducted with researchers at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), and The Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR). Category "A" bioterror threats are defined by the CDC as agents that pose a risk to national security; are easily disseminated or transmitted from person to person; result in high mortality rates; may cause public panic and social disruption, and require special action for public health preparedness. Global researcher, Frost & Sullivan awarded the Hemopurifier([R]) the 2006 Technology Innovation Award, and The AIDS Institute presented Aethlon with the 2007 Innovative HIV Life Sciences Leadership Award. The Company has also initiated research on a second generation Hemopurifier([R]) that targets the capture of growth factors inherent in the spread of Cancer.
