    9/34

    A therapeutic strategy that could inhibit the

    proliferation of immunosuppressive exosomesreleased by solid tumors, lymphomas andleukemias would fill a significant unmetmedical need in cancer care

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    10/34

    What are Exosomes?

    Cancer cells, both in vivoand in vitro, have beendemonstrated to releasemembranous structures,defined as exosomes

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    11/34

    Researchers have recently unveiled severalroles that exosomes play in acceleratingcancer progression

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    12/34

    The resulting research publicationsare reporting that................

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    13/34

    Exosomes cause apoptosis or programmedcell death of immune cells

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    14/34

    Exosomes disrupt signaling ofanti-cancer T cells

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    15/34

    Exosomes contribute to tumor angiogenesis

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    16/34

    Exosomes enhance the spread of tumor metastasis

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    17/34

    The quantity of exosomes in circulation is indirect correlation with cancer progression

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    18/34

    What if exosomes could beeliminated from circulation?

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    19/34

    The first therapeutic candidate to eliminatecancer exosomes from circulation

    The Aethlon Hemopurifier

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    20/34

    The Aethlon Hemopurifier

    Provides a therapeutic filtration

    mechanism to remove cancer

    exosomes from the circulatory

    system

    Allows selective exosome capture

    via unique high-mannose

    signatures resident on exosomesurfaces

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    21/34

    Providing access to the entire

    circulatory system

    Exosomes can be accessed

    from entire circulatory system,

    which can pass through the

    Hemopurifier in as little as

    15 minutes

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    22/34

    Hemopurifier therapy has the advantage of being

    delivered through the global infrastructure of dialysis

    machines that are already located in hospitals in clinics

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    23/34

    Our goal is to improve patient responsivenessto traditional chemotherapies and emergingclasses of immune based therapies

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    24/34

    To improve patient responsiveness withoutadditional drug toxicity or interaction risks

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    25/34

    In vitro binding of exosomes underlying thefollowing cancers has been demonstrated

    Breast

    Ovarian

    Colorectal

    Lymphoma

    Melanoma

    Human Hemopurifier treatmentexperience already exists

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    27/34

    The Hemopurifier has previously demonstrated

    the ability to reduce viral load in HIV andhepatitis C (HCV) infected individuals without theadministration of antiviral drugs

  • 8/4/2019 Cancer Exosomes

    28/34

    A clinical study to evaluate the ability of the

    Hemopurifier to improve HCV drug therapybenefit is currently being conducted
