Biodefense Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCBB:
AEMD) Announces First Treatment of an Ebola Patient
SAN DIEGO - October 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire)
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), announced today the first use of Hemopurifier®
therapy on a patient infected with Ebola virus. The treatment was administered
to a Ugandan doctor at the Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany. The
patient, who is also a World Health Organization (WHO) worker, contracted the
virus in Sierra Leone.
The
Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class bio-filtration device that targets
the rapid elimination of viruses and immunosuppressive proteins from the
circulatory system of infected individuals. At present, no antiviral therapy or
vaccine has proven to be effective against Ebola virus infection in humans. The
largest ebola virus epidemic in history is now spreading on a global basis with
more than 4,000 deaths being reported by the WHO.
"We thank the physicians in Frankfurt
for allowing us the opportunity to treat this advanced-stage patient,"
stated Aethlon founder and CEO, Jim Joyce. "Details related to the
patient's response to therapy will be disclosed once hospital officials deem it
appropriate to report an update on the condition of this individual."
In the care of ebola-infected individuals,
the Hemopurifier targets two unmet medical needs: the rapid elimination of
circulating ebola to inhibit continued progeny virus replication and the direct
targeting of shed glycoproteins that overwhelm the host immune response. The
device can be deployed for use within the global infrastructure of dialysis and
CRRT machines already located in hospitals and clinics.
Aethlon further disclosed that it is preparing
to initiate U.S. clinical studies of Hemopurifier therapy based on the United
States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of an Investigational
Device Exemption (IDE) that was previously submitted by the Company. The study
will contribute safety data to advance the device as a broad-spectrum
countermeasure against pandemic threats, including ebola and chronic viral
pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV).
To date, Hemopurifier therapy has been
successfully administered in approximately one hundred treatment experiences in
health compromised HIV and HCV infected individuals. These studies were
conducted at the Apollo Hospital, Fortis Hospital, Sigma New Life Hospital, and
the Medanta Medicity Institute, all located in India. In vitro validation
studies that demonstrated the ability of the Hemopurifier to capture Zaire and
other strains of ebola virus were conducted by researchers at the United States
Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and the
United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
