About Aethlon and the Hemopurifier®
Aethlon is focused on addressing unmet needs in global health.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier is a clinical-stage immunotherapeutic
device designed to combat cancer and life-threatening viral
infections. In cancer, the Hemopurifier is designed to deplete the
presence of circulating tumor-derived exosomes that promote immune
suppression.
The Hemopurifier® is an FDA designated "Breakthrough Device"
related to the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic
cancer who are either unresponsive to or intolerant of standard of
care therapy, and with cancer types in which exosomes have been
shown to participate in the development or severity of the disease.
Under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application, in
October 2019, the FDA approved an
Early Feasibility Study (EFS), which is the device equivalent of a
Phase 1 clinical trial for a drug or biologic, in a single center,
open label trial in 10 to 12 subjects. The study is evaluating
the HEMOPURIFIER® for reducing cancer-associated exosomes prior to
the administration of standard-of-care pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®),
which is a first-line therapy for patients with recurrent and/or
metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The EFS is
being conducted at the University of
Pittsburgh Medical Center Hillman Cancer Center.
The Hemopurifier also holds a Breakthrough Device designation
related to life-threatening viruses that are not addressed with
approved therapies. In June 2020, the
FDA approved an amendment to the Company's existing open IDE for
the Hemopurifier in life threatening viral infections, to allow for
the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
infection. This will allow for up to 40 of these patients to
be treated under a new Early Feasibility Study protocol at up to 20
clinical sites in the U.S.
Aethlon also owns 80% of Exosome Sciences, Inc., which is
focused on the discovery of exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and
monitor cancer and neurological disease progression. Additional
