Aethlon Medical, Inc. announced positive results from an in vitro binding study of its Hemopurifier in removing extracellular vesicles (EVs) from plasma. The translational study provides pre-clinical evidence to support Aethlon's planned phase 1 safety, feasibility and dose-finding clinical trials of the Hemopurifier in patients with solid tumors who have stable or progressive disease during anti-PD-1 monotherapy treatment, such as Keytruda or Opdivo.
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (Aethlon) is a medical therapeutic company focused on developing the Hemopurifier, a clinical-stage immunotherapeutic device which is designed to combat cancer and life-threatening viral infections suppression, seed the spread of metastasis and inhibit the benefit of cancer therapies. The Hemopurifier is designed to deplete the presence of circulating tumor-derived exosomes that promote immune suppression. Hemopurifier helps to bind and clear multiple different glycosylated viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Dengue, West Nile, multiple strains of influenza, Ebola, Chikungunya, smallpox, monkeypox, multiple herpes viruses, a MERS-CoV related pseudovirus, and others. Hemopurifier is used as a device for two independent indications: the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer and the treatment of life threating viruses that are not approved therapies.
