Our Hemopurifier® has the advantage of being
delivered through an established global infrastructure
of dialysis stations (90,000+ in U.S. alone)
 
 

 
Additional Infrastructure to Deliver
Hemopurifier® Therapy Includes:
• CRRT machines already located in hospitals
 and clinics
• Portable pump configurations
 
 

 
The Future
Home Infectious Disease & Cancer Therapy
 
 

 
Genesis of our Hemopurifier®
A 2004 patent submission entitled “A Method
for Removal of Viruses from Blood by Lectin
Affinity Hemodialysis” which issued in 2007
 
 

 
• Broadened our intellectual property portfolio
• Completed 11 pre-clinical programs that have validated broad-spectrum effectiveness in
 capturing infectious viral pathogens
• Completed 3 separate human safety studies conducted at the Apollo, Fortis, and Sigma New
 Life hospitals in India. (68 treatments)
• Demonstrated substantial viral load reductions in HIV and HCV infected patients in the
 absence of drug therapy
• Initiated HCV adjunct clinical study designed to accelerate benefit of SOC drug therapy
• Submitted an IDE to the FDA to initiate human studies in the United States
• Established GMP manufacturing and have signed LOI to expand capabilities
• Completed 5 pre-clinical programs to validate capture of cancer-secreted exosomes
Since 2004
 
 

 
What Are Exosomes?

 
 

 
Exosomes Are Secreted By:
• All solid-form tumors
• Lymphomas
• Leukemias
 
 

 
Science Publications
Indicate That Exosomes
• Induce Apoptosis
• Disrupt t-cell signaling
• Inhibit cytokine production
• Angiogenesis
• Metastasis
 
 

 
Tumor Secreted Exosomes
 
 

 
Pre-Clinical Hemopurifier®
Cancer Validations
• Ovarian (2008)
• Breast (2010)
• Colorectal (2010)
• Lymphoma (2010)
• Melanoma (2010)
• Additional Studies (2011)
 
 

 
Our Exosome
Therapeutic Opportunity
• The Hemopurifier® fills a previously unmet medical need in
 cancer care
• Provides mechanism to preserve immune function
• Serves as an adjunct to improve benefit of established and
 candidate cancer therapies

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
A Solution to Drug Resistance
 
 

 
HIV-AIDS Study
• Infected dialysis patient
• 12 treatments / 30 days
• 4 hrs per treatment
• Performed in absence of drug
 therapy
• Average per treatment viral load
 reduction of 54%
• Improved CD4 t-cell ratios
 
 

 
Bioterrorism &
Pandemic Threats
 
 

 
Why Return to the Biodefense
& Pandemic Threat Space?
• HHS is committed to increasing countermeasure support
• Focal shift from one-drug-one-bug to broad-spectrum therapies
• Countermeasures with commercial market applications now ok
• FDA approval not required for stockpile consideration
• Non-dilutive funding available in amounts not limited by our
 market value

A Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Platform Technology
 
 

 
The New BARDA & PHEMCE
Strategic Objectives
• To identify and support the development of innovative broad-spectrum:
 • Countermeasures
 • Technologies
 • Platforms
• Strategies that address traditional, enhanced, emerging, and advanced
 threats

In Vitro Confirmations Against
Bioterror and Pandemic Threats
 
 

 
The Hemopurifier® represents the most advanced
broad-spectrum countermeasure against bioterror and
emerging pandemic threats
 
 

 
"The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is the
 only strategy to address the
 breadth of pathogens that could be
 weaponized as agents of
 bioterrorism."
Ken Alibek
Director of USSR Bioweapon Program
Author of "BIOHAZARD"
 
 

 

Current Activities
• Active CRADA with USAMRIID
• Defining program opportunities with BARDA
• Awaiting a BAA from DTRA
• Preparing response to BAA (released on 2/8/11) from DARPA
 entitled “Dialysis Like Therapeutics”
 
 

 
Hepatitis-C Virus (HCV)
Our #1 Priority
 
 

 
Why HCV?
• 180 million infected
• Low response rate to peg-interferon/ribavirin standard of care
 (SOC) drug therapy
• Valuations awarded to organizations with promising adjunct
 data (Telaprevir from Vertex:VRTX $8.9 bn)
• Clinical validation that viral filtration improves HCV cure rates
 
 

 
Advantages of Therapeutic Filtration
as an Adjunct to SOC
• Improves viral clearance without adding drug toxicity
• Improves viral clearance without introducing new drug
 interaction risks
• Provides a mechanism to address all genotypes of HCV
• A device has an enduring opportunity to improve benefit of
 current and future iterations of SOC drug therapy
 
 

 
Two therapeutic filtration strategies have
been tested in HCV infected patients
• The VRAD, a market approved device from Asahi
 Kasei Kuraray Medical CO. (Japan)
• The Hemopurifier®, a clinical stage device from
 Aethlon Medical, Inc. (United States)
 
 

 
The Treatment of HCV Genotype-
1 Non-Responders
 
 

 
The Hemopurifier® vs. VRAD
Viral Depletion Analysis
• Average VRAD treatment period
 of 3 hrs 14 min with benefit of
 SOC drug therapy (n=72
 treatments)
• Average Hemopurifier® treatment
 period of 4 hrs in absence of SOC
 drug therapy benefit (n=24
 treatments)
 
 

 
The Hemopurifier® vs. VRAD
• In addition to improving viral clearance
• The Hemopurifier® provides a selective capture mechanism which allows
 for greater safety and optimization of treatment outcomes
• The Hemopurifier® removes immunosuppressive proteins shed by HCV
 that cannot be addressed by VRAD
• The Hemopurifier® is a sealed single-use disposable cartridge vs.
 multiple cartridge and pump set-required by VRAD
 
 

 
The Hemopurifier® + SOC?
• Initiated clinical study at the Medanta Medicity Institute
• Up to 30 patients / up to 6 treatments in first 3 days of SOC
• Early clinical endpoints include:
 • Immediate Virologic Response (IVR)
 • Rapid Virologic Response (RVR)
 • Early Virologic Response (EVR)
• Commercialization triggered upon positive outcomes
 
 

 
Our foundation to drive
shareholder value in 2011
• Positive HCV data
• Transition from R&D to revenue generation
 • Commercialization
 • Contract-grant income
• FDA approval to initiate U.S. clinical programs
• New cancer research data
• Strategic relationships (infectious disease and cancer)
