"Beyond achieving the short-term objectives set forth in our last quarterly call, we also made material advancements that should benefit our long-term clinical and commercialization endeavors," stated Jim Joyce, Chairman and CEO of Aethlon Medical. "We transitioned to a new Principal Investigator to support our clinical study in Houston, we secured year-5 approval of our primary DARPA contract, kicked-off a cancer-related study at UC-Irvine Medical Center, launched two new virus study collaborations, and our Exosome Sciences subsidiary submitted a manuscript for publication with our CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) study collaborators. We also made manufacturing-related advances and introduced a partnering program to establish new Aethlon ADAPT™-based therapies that target disease indications not addressed by our Hemopurifier®."
