STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Statement of Work
Aethlon Medical, Inc.

DATE: 23 September 2011

TITLE: Broad Spectrum Countermeasures for Viral and Bacterial Sepsis using Dialysis-Like Devices

1. Scope

The scope of this effort is to use Aethlon’s ADAPT System as the core technology within an extracorporeal blood purification device that would simultaneously remove: viruses, virally-derived immunosuppressive glycoproteins, and multiple classes of exosomes; complement activation, activation of virus growth (e.g. cytomegalovirus) and TLR activation, all of which have implications to the promotion of the well-being and recovery of wounded warfighters and the prevention of sepsis.

1.1 Introduction

This effort will use the adaptable dialysis-like platform (ADAPT) technology that allows for the selective removal of harmful agents from the entire circulatory system. This revolutionary advance overcomes the limitation of devices that indiscriminately adsorb or solely capture particles by molecule size. The platform will provide an expansive therapeutic filtration mechanism to immobilize multiple affinity agents directed toward precursors to sepsis, bacterial toxins, viral pathogens, and disease enhancing particles transported by exosomes. To insure benefit to wounded warfighters, this effort will advance an innovative strategy that will allow therapy administration without systemic anticoagulation.

The ADAPT platform has been previously used to create a broad-spectrum antiviral device that immobilized one lectin affinity agent, resulting in the effective capture of all tested Category A pathogens, as well as exosomes underlying tuberculosis and cancer. In human studies, this same device, known as the Hemopurifier, consistently provided greater than 50% average viral load reductions during four-hour treatment periods in both hepatitis-C and HIV infected individuals without antiviral drug therapy.

The resulting device would save thousands of military and civilian lives each year. Each of these technology advancements will be integrated into a single cartridge that will provide decision-free and life-saving medical care for the wounded warfighter.

1.2 Background

The goal of the DLT program is to develop a portable device that removes “dirty” blood from the body, separates harmful agents, and returns “clean” blood to the body in a manner similar to dialysis treatment of kidney failure. While the device could have an impact across multiple areas of medicine, the target application for this device is sepsis. The envisioned device can also provide early identification of the presence of a pathogen. Once the presence of pathogens has been confirmed, the DLT device will provide continuous "label-free" removal of pathogens, toxins and activated patient cells without pathogen identification or use of pathogen-specific binding chemistries. As a final step in the treatment process, the DLT device will enable closed-loop therapy based on continuous, reduced dimensionality modeling of patient health. Predictive modeling in this fashion will allow us to identify sepsis early, learn what we need to remove, and direct the most effective intervention to improve patient health. This cycle of sensing, adjustment, estimation, computation, and manipulation will modulate key health parameters faster than the underlying disease process and drive the patient towards a stable, healthy state.

2. Technical Requirements

2.1 Human and Animal use

Human use is anticipated in this effort, specifically related to the use of human blood. The contractor shall obtain all necessary Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals, show proper assurance documentation, and obtain proper approval from the Government officials prior to human use testing. Funds associated with human subjected testing shall not be released until IRB documentation has been provided to SSC's HRPO and approval to release funds has been obtained.

Animal use is anticipated in this effort. The contractor shall obtain all necessary Institutional Animal Care and Utilization Committee (IACUC) approval and demonstrate this approval to the Government (both ACURO and SSC-Pacific) prior to beginning experimentation with animals. If animal use is no longer anticipated, or changes significantly from the approved IACUC then the Principal Investigator (PI) must submit a letter stating the discontinuation of animal use for this effort and/or receive appropriate authorization for IACUC changes of previously specified protocols. Unless prior approval by DARPA is given IACUC documentation must be provided prior to contract award.

(6)  Definitions:

(i) “Permanent Duty Station” (PDS) is the location of the employee’s permanent work assignment (i.e., the building or other place where the employee regularly reports for work.

(ii) “Privately Owned Conveyance” (POC) is any transportation mode used for the movement of persons from place to place, other than a Government conveyance or common carrier, including a conveyance loaned for a charge to, or rented at personal expense by, an employee for transportation while on travel when such rental conveyance has not been authorized/approved as a Special Conveyance.

(iii) “Privately Owned (Motor) Vehicle (POV)” is any motor vehicle (including an automobile, light truck, van or pickup truck) owned by, or on a long-term lease (12 or more months) to, an employee or that employee’s dependent for the primary purpose of providing personal transportation, that:

(iv) “Special Conveyance” is commercially rented or hired vehicles other than a POC and other than those owned or under contract to an agency.

(v) “Public Conveyance” is local public transportation (e.g., bus, streetcar, subway, etc) or taxicab.

(iv) “Residence” is the fixed or permanent domicile of a person that can be reasonably justified as a bona fide residence.

EXAMPLE 1: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 7 miles. Employee drives from residence to an alternate work site, a distance of 18 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 18 miles.

In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (14 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 22 miles (18 + 18 - 14 = 22).

EXAMPLE 2: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 15 miles. Employee drives from residence to an alternate work site, a distance of 5 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 5 miles.

In this case, the employee is not entitled to be reimbursed for the travel performed (10 miles), since the distance traveled is less than the commuting distance (30 miles) to the regular place of work.

EXAMPLE 3: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 15 miles. Employee drives to regular place of work. Employee is required to travel to an alternate work site, a distance of 30 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 15 miles.

In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (30 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 30 miles (15 + 30 + 15 - 30 = 30).

EXAMPLE 4: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 12 miles. In the morning the employee drives to an alternate work site (45 miles). In the afternoon the employee returns to the regular place of work (67 miles). After completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 12 miles.

In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (24 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 100 miles (45 + 67 + 12 - 24 = 100).

EXAMPLE 5: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 35 miles. Employee drives to the regular place of work (35 miles). Later, the employee drives to alternate work site #1 (50 miles) and then to alternate work site #2 (25 miles). Employee then drives to residence (10 miles).

In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal commuting distance (70 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 50 miles (35 + 50 + 25 + 10 - 70 = 50).

EXAMPLE 6: Employee’s one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 20 miles. Employee drives to the regular place of work (20 miles). Later, the employee drives to alternate work site #1 (10 miles) and then to alternate work site #2 (5 miles). Employee then drives to residence (2 miles).

In this case, the employee is not entitled to be reimbursed for the travel performed (37 miles), since the distance traveled is less than the commuting distance (40 miles) to the regular place of work.
