IMMUNOTHERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGIES TO COMBAT INFECTIOUS DISEASE & CANCER

  3  
 

SAVE LIVES

  4  
 

Summary • Clinical - stage Company • Lead therapeutic – The Aethlon Hemopurifier ® – B road - spectrum countermeasure against emerging pandemic threats – Discovered to capture cancer - promoting exosomes • Significant unmet need in cancer care • Exosome Sciences, Inc. (diagnostic subsidiary) – ELLSA™ exosome isolation platform (virus & cancer) – Discovered a candidate biomarker to diagnose CTE

  5  
 

The A e thlon Hemopurifier® Broad - s pectrum e limination of circulating viruses, viral particles and bacterial toxins

  6  
 

DEPLOYED WITHIN THE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF DIALYSIS & CRRT MACHINES

  7  
 

The Hemopurifier ® Mechanism of Action • Rapid separation of disease targets from the circulatory blood path • Capture of disease targets through adherence to surface structure that provides immune - evasion – Lectin - affinity attachment to high - mannose signature that cloaks pathogen targets from immune surveillance

  8  
 

The Hemopurifier ® establishes a therapeutic strategy to address the hundreds of viruses that are not treatable with antiviral drug agents .

  9  
 

The A e thlon Hemopurifier® FDA approved IDE study currently being conducted

  10  
 

Previous Human Treatment Experiences

BROAD - SPECTRUM HUMAN TREATMENT EXPERIENCES HIV - AIDS Hepatitis - C Ebola

  12  
 

The Treatment of Ebola Virus Frankfurt University Hospital Special approval from The Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM)

  13  
 

Hemopurifier® therapy administration to a comatose Ebola patient with multiple - organ failure

  14  
 

Dr. Stefan Büttner Holding Hemopurifier® After Ebola Treatment

  15  
 

Ebola Treatment Data Presented By Dr. Helmut Geiger American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting • 6.5 hour Hemopurifier® therapy administration • Pre - treatment viral load: 400,000 copies/ml • Post - treatment viral load: 1,000 copies/ml • Patient recovered and returned home

  16  
 

Extracorporeal Virus Elimination for the Treatment of Severe Ebola Virus Disease – First Experience with Lectin Affinity Plasmapheresis • Stefan Bü ttner a Benjamin Koch a Olga Dolnik b Markus Eickmann b Tilo Freiwald a Sarah Rudolf a Jü rgen Engel a Stephan Becker b Claudio Ronco c Helmut Geiger a • a Medical Clinic III, Department of Nephrology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, and b Institute of Virology, Philipps University Marburg, Marburg, Germany; c Department of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation, International Renal Research Institute of Vicenza (IRRIV), San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy • Published: Journal of Blood Purification

Pre - clinical Validations ( Reported t o date )

  19  
 

In Vitro Hemopurifier ® Validations • Viruses – Hepatitis C, HIV, Ebola, H1N1 Swine Flu, H5N1 Bird Flu, 1918 Spanish Flu (reconstructed), Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus, Chikungunya and Dengue • Viral Toxins • Ebola glycoprotein ( gp ), HIV gp120, HIV NEF - exosomes • Bacterial Toxins • L ipopolysaccharide (LPS) and L ipoteichoic acid (LTA) • Tumor - derived E xosomes

  20  
 

Initiated tumor - derived exosome research in 2006 Considered c ellular debris w ith n o b iological f unction CANCER

  21  
 

2016 Tumor - derived exosomes are significant therapeutic and diagnostic targets

  22  
 

Tumor - Derived Exosomes

  23  
 

Tumor - Derived Exosomes A Significant Unmet Medical Need in Cancer • The seeds of cancer metastasis – Metastasis contributes to 90% of cancer deaths – The mystery of the Soil & Seed Theory of 1889 • Tumor - derived exosomes promote: – Tumorigenesis – Cancer progression – Angiogenesis – Immune - evasion – Resistance to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs

  24  
 

The Hemopurifier ® provides an adjunct strategy to optimize emerging immuno - oncology drugs or improve the benefit of chemotherapeutic regimens

  25  
 

  26  
 

ELLSA™ (Enzyme - linked lectin - specific assay) Proprietary exosome isolation platform

  27  
 

ELLSA™ • Isolates disease - origin exosomes from bodily fluids – ELLSA step + specific antibody step to diagnose and monitor a variety of disease indications – Urine based proof - of - principal established in HIV • Identified HIV - specific exosomes in 111 HIV - infected individuals, but not in the urine of 35 HIV negative control subjects. • A potential noninvasive global strategy to diagnose HIV infection. • In collaboration with Morehouse School of Medicine, who conducted the study

  28  
 

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

  29  
 

• Discovery of CTE biomarker candidate ( TauSome ™) • TauSome testing was conducted in the DETECT study – In collaboration with the Boston University CTE Center • Principal Investigator: Robert Stern Ph.D. – Goal: a test that could detect CTE in living individuals – 78 former NFL players (high risk CTE group) – 16 athlete controls (low risk CTE group)

  30  
 

Preliminary Study of Plasma Exosomal Tau as a Potential Biomarker for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Stern , Tripodis , Baugh, Fritts , Martin, Chaisson , Cantu, Joyce, Shah, Ikezu , Zhang, Gercel - Taylor, & Taylor J Alzheimer’s Disease, 2016 • Findings suggest that TauSome plasma levels may be an accurate, noninvasive CTE biomarker – TauSome levels significantly higher in the NFL group – TauSome levels correlated with cognitive decline

Control Samples - n=16 - Avg : 310,000,000 TauSomes /mL - SD: 1.9 E8 NFL Player Samples - n=78 - Avg : 2,800,000,000 TauSomes /mL - SD: 2.9 E9

  32  
 

• TauSome Next Steps (more testing required) – Validate that TauSomes are brain - derived – Refine technique to ELLSA - antibody or other scalable methodology – Initiate TauSome studies in other tauopathies – Initiate TauSome studies in other high - risk CTE groups – TauSome testing to be included in new (up to a 17 - sites) CTE study funded by a $ 16 million NIH grant
