August 9 - All American Pet Company, Inc. Gets Vendor Approval From the World's Largest Drugstore Chain With Commitments to Merchandise the First of Its Kind Line of NutraBars™ for Dogs
All American Pet Company, Inc. (OTC: AAPT) VP of national sales, Jim Colyer, presented the company's newest innovation yesterday and came back with vendor approval from the largest drugstore chain in the world with assurances for orders to fill over 7900+ stores with three SKU's of NutraBars™ — the first-ever all natural super premium hi-pro-power bar for dogs based on the buyer's reception.
With the price of gas soaring, dog owners are buying more dog food and snacks from their neighborhood drug stores. According to Symphony IRI data dog food sales soared 17% in the drug channel vs. a decline of 0.04% at supermarkets — it's just more convenient and shoppers are not committed to filling their carts to feed the family's Fido.
"Our operations team has booked production time in Kansas. We've got full production runs scheduled for the 14th and 15th and will have over 300,000 of the 4oz bars: Original, Low Fat and Senior Formulas ready to ship. Dates for making millions more are scheduled throughout September to meet Q4 commitments. The market is really hungry for NutraBar and that is why AAPT retained Susan Hartzler's specialty AlphadogPR firm to whet everyone's appetite for more," said Lisa Bershan, President AAPT.
The $5B bar business for people is bulging with competitors, but only AAPT is making nutritional bars for the nation's 78.5 million dogs. NutraBar is the only heart-healthy, 25% protein bar made in the USA that meets all of the AAFCO requirements for a real food, but available for the first time in a convenient, affordable and safe bar — just like human bar brands.
Barry Schwartz, CEO AAPT revealed, "We've got 16 of the top sales pros in the business. When we send the team out into the marketplace they come back with a resounding: 'When can we get them' buyer response." Schwartz continued, "We are current with our production projections and marketing plans and on track with our financial filings and distribution to be in at least 50,000 retail doors by year's end. We've got our teeth into the bar business and we are not letting go."

The Aethlon Medical mission is to create innovative medical devices that address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious disease, and other life-threatening conditions. Our Aethlon ADAPT™ System is a revenue-stage technology platform that provides the basis for a new class of therapeutics that target the selective removal of disease enabling particles from the entire circulatory system. The Aethlon ADAPT™ product pipeline includes the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to address infectious disease and cancer; HER2osome™ to target HER2+ breast cancer, and a medical device being developed under a contract with DARPA that would reduce the incidence of sepsis in combat-injured soldiers and civilians.

August 9 - Aethlon Medical Announces Expanded Access to Hemopurifier® Therapy For Individuals Infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing selective therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, announced today that it has agreed to establish a treatment program that will provide HCV-infected individuals with expanded access to Hemopurifier® therapy. The program is being initiated with support from the Institutional Review Board at the Medanta Medicity Institute (Medicity) to allow compassionate usage of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® for individuals who previously failed or subsequently relapsed standard-of-care drug regimens.
In addition to offering Hemopurifier® therapy to the citizens of India, HCV-infected individuals from the United States, European Union and other regions of the world may pursue treatment through the expanded access program. Details related to treatment protocol, inclusion criteria, patient approval processes and therapy pricing are anticipated in September. It is estimated that approximately 170 million people worldwide are infected with HCV, which leads to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and is a leading cause of liver transplantation.
The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of HCV from the entire circulatory system to improve benefit, dose, duration and tolerability of drug therapies. The Medicity is a $360 million multi-specialty medical institute established to be a premier center for medical tourism in India.
"The Medicity access program represents an important milestone in our quest to establish the selective therapeutic filtration industry," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "Beyond helping HCV-infected individuals overcome their disease, we now have the opportunity to augment our established government contract revenues with Hemopurifier® product sales."
Aethlon also disclosed that it will continue conducting a study at the Medicity that is evaluating the capability of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to accelerate HCV RNA depletion at the outset of standard of care peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) therapy. Specifically, HCV-infected individuals are enrolled to receive up to three, six-hour Hemopurifier® treatments during the first three days of PR drug therapy. Last week, Aethlon reported that the two most recent HCV infected patients to receive Hemopurifier® therapy in combination with PR drug therapy achieved undetectable viral load at day-7, which is rarely reported in drug therapy alone.
The primary clinical endpoint of the Medicity protocol has been to increase the incidence of rapid virologic response (RVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA at day 30 of therapy. RVR represents the clinical endpoint that best predicts treatment cure, otherwise known as sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA 24-weeks after the completion of PR drug therapy. As a point of reference, the landmark IDEAL Study of 3,070 HCV genotype-1 patients documented that only 10.35% (n=318/3070) of PR treated patients achieved a RVR. However, patients that achieved a RVR had SVR rates of 86.2% (n=274/318) versus SVR rates of 32.5% (n=897/2752) in non-RVR patients. While the incidence of undetectable HCV RNA at day-7 is not reported in the IDEAL study, the study did reveal that just 4.3% (n=131/3070) of patients achieved undetectable HCV RNA at day-14, which equated to a 91% (n=118/131) SVR rate.
Aethlon reported that Hemopurifier® therapy has been well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in ten treated patients. Of these ten patients, seven patients were infected with HCV genotype-1; two patients were infected with HCV genotype-3; and one patient was infected with HCV genotype-5. At present, undetectable HCV RNA is reported in eight of the 10 treated patients. Of the two patients with detectable HCV RNA, one discontinued PR therapy as a result of a diabetes related condition. HCV RNA is undetectable in all patients (n=4) that have been monitored for 48 weeks since receiving Hemopurifier® therapy. Among the 10 treated patients, Aethlon reported that six genotype-1 patients received the three treatment Hemopurifier® protocol, which resulted in four (67%) patients achieving a RVR. The IDEAL study predicts it would normally require approximately 40 PR treated patients to achieve 4 RVR outcomes. Both patients who achieved undetectable HCV RNA at day-7 also achieved a RVR. Beyond the high likelihood of a SVR, genotype-1 patients that achieve a RVR also have the opportunity to reduce the duration of PR drug therapy from 48 weeks to 24 weeks.
In addition to expanding access to Hemopurifier® therapy at the Medicity, Aethlon is preparing to resubmit to the FDA an investigational device exemption (IDE), which will incorporate the Medicity data in an effort to gain approval to initiate HCV clinical programs in the United States.
