FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by us from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. When used in such filings, the words "anticipate,” "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations and any businesses that we may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

 

During an earnings call held during August 2015, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (“we”) announced that, in connection with the FDA-approved feasibility study of Hemopurifier® therapy that we had previously initiated, we would be transitioning to a new principal investigator for the study. In connection with that transition, on October 23, 2015, we entered into a clinical trial agreement pursuant to which Dr. Ronald Ralph will act as our new principal investigator for the study. In addition, on October 26, 2015, we terminated the agreement pursuant to which Dr. Stephen Fadem had been acting as our principal investigator for the study. We subsequently have entered into a medical advisory consulting agreement with Dr. Fadem, pursuant to which Dr. Fadem will provide consulting services at our request regarding clinical affairs and device development. No other aspects of the study will be modified in any significant respect as a result of this transition.
