Bullish Future for Solar says IEA; Solar Stocks to Watch: LDK, XSNX, TSL, YGE

New York, NY - July 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, a research portal specializing in investing ideas for independent investors, issues a trading alert for solar stocks following a bullish trading session for the sector and a recent report from the IEA that shows the rapid global advancement of renewable energy as a cost competitive choice.

In an overall strong day in the market, solar stocks closed up significantly in Monday’s trading session, some with double digit gains. Chinese solar stocks saw some of the biggest gains following headlines that China State Council said it has plans to build 35 GW of solar by 2015.
Factoring into investor sentiment, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in late June in its second annual Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report (MTRMR), that despite a difficult economic context, renewable power is expected to increase by 40% in the next five years. Renewables are now the fastest-growing power generation sector and will make up almost a quarter of the global power mix by 2018, up from an estimated 20% in 2011. The share of non-hydro sources such as wind, solar, bioenergy and geothermal in total power generation will double, reaching 8% by 2018, up from 4% in 2011 and just 2% in 2006.
According to the report," renewables are becoming cost-competitive in a wider set of circumstances. For example, wind competes well with new fossil-fuel power plants in several markets, including Brazil, Turkey and New Zealand. Solar is attractive in markets with high peak prices for electricity, for instance, those resulting from oil-fired generation. Decentralised solar photovoltaic generation costs can be lower than retail electricity prices in a number of countries."
The report also noted in relation to China solar stocks, "Led by China, non-OECD countries are expected to account for two-thirds of the global increase in renewable power generation between now and 2018. Such rapid deployment is expected to more than compensate for slower growth and smooth out volatility in other areas, notably Europe and the US.”
LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE LDK) closed at $1.75, up $ 0.31 or 21.53% on over 6 Million shares. The stock had a day high of $1.77.
XSUNX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at .011 on over 500,000 shares The CA based Company is a developer of CIGSolar®, a patent-pending technology for the mass production of CIGS solar cells that offers a capital-efficient, low-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells.
Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) ended the day at $7.74, gaining 0.87 or 12.66%.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE:YGE) closed at $4.16, spiking 0.42 or 11.23% and continued gains in after hours trading.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI) had notable gains, closing at $1.12, up 0.09 or 8.74%
First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGS: FSLR) closed at $50.27, moving up 2.62 a share or 5.50%, with a high of $51.
About the IEA
The International Energy Agency is an autonomous organisation which works to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member countries and beyond. Founded in response to the 1973/4 oil crisis, the IEA’s initial role was to help countries co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in oil supply through the release of emergency oil stocks to the markets. While this continues to be a key aspect of its work, the IEA has evolved and expanded. It is at the heart of global dialogue on energy, providing reliable and unbiased research, statistics, analysis and recommendations.

China's Online Education Market: Stocks to Watch: UMEWF, EDU, DL, XRS

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - July 15, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues a sector snapshot of the online China education market and some of the publicly traded companies going after market share.

According to an article in technode.com quoting CEO of New Oriental, “ 40% of China’s Existing Education Market Will Be Online in 3-5 Years.
The online education industry is still in its infancy compared to the potential it represents down the road as China’s hunger for education explodes..
A recent article in Techcrunch.comn said, “ education institutions are now struggling with demand, especially in fast-growing markets like China. Schools there literally can’t build enough buildings to put people in their colleges, he said, and are trying to figure out how to handle issues like students that are sometimes seven hours away from their nearest physical campus. Online education means you can scale immensely without worrying about growing the physical plant and those costs, and it also means students need only a phone to participate, lowering costs immensely."
According to data from MarketResearchReports.Biz,"in China, the market size of the education and training industry soared from RMB610 billion in 2008 to RMB955.4 billion in 2012, with the CAGR of 11.87%."
Wall Street Journal said in its recent article, Online Education, A New Frontier in China , "Changing views of education in China make a shift to more online education inevitable. Chinese students are becoming less fixated on tests. Parents are increasingly sending their children to English-immersion camps abroad rather than classrooms. Today's children are more comfortable with e-learning."
UMeWorld (OTCQB: UMEWF) operates UMeLook (www.umelook.com), an online video platform focused on bringing foreign video content to China and has recently branched out into the online education market.

SmartStar Home Version will be available through a monthly subscription of CNY$75 (US$12), enabling the user to have unlimited service access via the internet. This will initially target students in Grades 5 through 9. The Company will introduce other grades systematically over the coming quarters.
The stock closed at $0.4760, up 0.0360 or 8.18% in Friday’s session.
New Oriental Education (NYSE:EDU) will report its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, before the U.S. market opens on July 23, 2013.. The company is the largest provider of private educational services in China based on the number of program offerings, total student enrollments and geographic presence. The stock has a 52 week range of $9.410 $24.15 and is currently trading around its highs .
China Distance Education Holdings Limited (NYSE:DL) online courses are designed to help professionals and other course participants obtain and maintain the skills, licenses and certifications necessary to pursue careers in China in the areas of accounting, law, healthcare, construction engineering, and other industries. The Company also offers online test preparation courses to self-taught learners pursuing higher education diplomas or degrees and to secondary school and college students preparing for various academic and entrance exams. In addition, the Company offers online foreign language courses and offline business start-up training courses. The stock closed at $7.65 on Friday and has had a significant move in the past few months, moving up from a base of around $5.00
TAL Education Group (NYSE:XRS) will release its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 ended May 31, 2013, before the market opens on Monday, July 22, 2013.

How do you say "Apple" in 2000 Languages?

Point Roberts, WA, New York, NY - July 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, providing global investing ideas in leading sectors including tech, features a close- up look at a privately held software company, Linguist's Software, based in Edmonds, WA. Over a 30 year period, Linguist's Software has developed fonts and keyboard software for over 2000 languages that may be a key factor in opening up the world to the internet and mobile devices.

It may takes years to perfect translation for languages, but having software for native language localization and input to the rest of the world immediately, is a significant first step.
The path to globalization is potentially available to mobile users and internet users around the world in their own native languages. Today most software and Internet platforms provide limited keyboard input for only 50-80 languages.
Dr. Philip Payne, the founder of Linguist's Software Inc. http://www.linguistsoftware.com/ , started his company 30 years ago out of a love of language unaware of the advancements and leaps in technology that lay ahead and how his software could literally change the world.
He was interviewed in an article in the New York Times in 1994 discussing how excited he was that his software was available to Mac users. At the time of the interview his software was available for over 280 languages and the Apple iPhone had not yet been invented. Fast forward to today and he provides fonts and input for over 2000 languages, and the iPhone has revolutionized mobile in a way no one could have imagined in 1994.
Steve Jobs said he did not build his company for the money, it was to build a company that would endure and create great products . Dr. Philip Payne's love of language has resulted in a company that is still here 30 years after its beginning and is the only one of its kind providing fonts and keyboard input for anywhere near this many languages.
Currently 2.5 billion people use the internet, mostly in Chinese, Japanese, and European languages. Dr. Philip Payne's software opens the door to new markets through native language access to 4 billion more global users.
So how do you say "global opportunity" in 2000 languages? What is a buyer willing to pay to be the first worldwide communications company? What is the value of owning fonts and keyboard input software for over 2000 languages to reach these new customers whose native language input is not currently supported by computers, smartphones, and the Internet? What is the value of having access to billions of new customers?
Ken Kinkel, CEO & President of C·M&A (www.CorpMA.com) is trying to answer just that as he represents Dr. Payne's exit strategy and retirement from Linguist's Software Inc.
Ken says, "Google's Eric Schmidt is saying everyone will be on the net by 2020. But what can they do now that they are locked out of a billion customers in China? This is why Google (WSJ) is laying fiber in Africa, to reach a billion potential users who are isolated in remote areas. But, we wonder where will they get the fonts and keyboard input for over 1540 native languages for these Africans? Or any of the other unique native languages Google needs for another billion in India and the Middle East. On average it takes over 1 man year per language to develop the best localization keyboard and native font software. Does Google think they can create all of these fast enough for over 2000 global languages?
But if a competitor decides to get there first, by buying the fonts and keyboard input for these languages that are already completed and available today, then what? Now we have a new leader, and perhaps not Google, then who, Baidu?"
There is big money in the language software sector. This Intellectual Property (IP) is the first important step towards getting everyone online to eventually lead us to worldwide language translation.
According to Research and Markets new report "Language Translation Software: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Language Translation Software: Markets will reach $123.1 Billion by 2019
Worldwide Machine Translation markets at $1.6 billion in 2012 are anticipated to grow to $6.9 billion by 2019. Growth is a result of the inexorable trend toward outreach to the entire world by every enterprise. As the enterprises achieve a global presence in 177 countries, they will first need native language localization to expect to do business and eventually need automated software translation to achieve a global footprint.
TransPerfect is a family of companies providing global business services in over 170 languages. The $300 million translation services provider based in Manhattan, NY made Crain's list of fastest-growing companies in 2012.
As Dr. Payne enters the next phase of his life he is leaving a legacy that will last past his lifetime. He will never see all of the endless possibilities and applications of his software and how it will impact the world.
In the 1994 NY Times interview it noted, "Dr. Payne says he didn't shout ‘ Eureka' that day in 1984. But after a decidedly amateurish labor amid bytes, bits and pixels, the apparition of the Greek letter rho on the black-and-white screen of his Macintosh computer came pretty close to an epiphany."
Imagine if his software is used on mobile applications around the globe? I think he would say " Eureka".
Dr. Philip Payne, the founder and president of Linguist's Software, Inc., is a specialist in New Testament Studies. (Ph.D. The University of Cambridge). He is well known for his studies on New Testament Textual Criticism, the Parables of Jesus, and Man and Woman in the Teachings of Paul. He and his wife Nancy were missionaries in Japan with the Evangelical Free Church, where they ministered to students in the Kyoto Christian Studies Center and lectured on New Testament in various Japanese Seminaries. They have three children David, Kimiko, and Brendan.
NY Times article link :
http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/22/business/technology-for-mac-users-software-for-typing-in-tongues.html
The right global company will have to decide how they want to unleash the rest of the languages to the world, Dr. Payne is blessed to have contributed. He looks forward to a future where global information exchange is possible, and knows his software will rapidly set new communication standards, that will eventually connect all of humanity to the web.

Mining Stock Alert: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Arranges $40 Million Credit Facility with Scotiabank

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - July 12, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a three year US$40 million secured corporate credit facility (the "Facility") with The Bank of Nova Scotia ("Scotiabank"). The credit limit available under the Facility will reduce by US$10 million on each of July 11, 2014 and July 11, 2015, and will mature on July 11, 2016, subject to a one year extension of these dates by mutual agreement. The Facility is to be used for general corporate purposes and to complete the Santa Elena Mine Expansion ("Expansion") which will release operational cash flow for other corporate purposes. The Expansion at Santa Elena includes development of the underground mine and a new 3,000 tonnes per day processing plant. The Facility is principally secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in its material subsidiaries, including Nusantara de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and SilverCrest de Mexico S.A. de C.V., and their assets. Depending on the Company’s total indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, the interest rate margin on the Facility will, at the Company’s election, range from either 3.00% to 4.25% over LIBOR, or 2.00% to 3.25% over Scotiabank’s Base Rate in Canada. The availability of the Facility is subject to customary conditions precedent and qualitative and quantitative covenants and the release of existing security held by Macquarie Bank Limited. Until all security for the Facility has been registered in Mexico, the amount available under the Facility will be limited to US$15 million.

As a result of the increase in metal production afforded by the Expansion, the Santa Elena Mine is expected to generate additional operating cash-flow once the new plant is fully-operational in the first half of 2014. This increase in cash flow should enable the Company to continue funding its capital and exploration projects from operating cash flow.
J. Scott Drever, Chairman and CEO stated: “We are pleased to establish this relationship with an institution of the calibre of Scotiabank. At current precious metals prices, we are confident that our financial situation will enable us to complete the major capital expenditures associated with the Santa Elena Expansion. This Facility strengthens our overall financial position and will free up cash flow to enable us to pursue other corporate opportunities for growth.”
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL; NYSE MKT: SVLC) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine cash cost of US$8 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag: Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the 2,500 tonnes per day open pit heap leach facility at the Santa Elena mine should recover approximately 625,000 ounces of silver and 33,000 ounces of gold in 2013. Major expansion and construction of a 3000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is underway to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine (open pit and underground) by 2014. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State with stated resources nearing 200 million ounces of Ag equivalent.

Solar Energy Stock News; First ever CIGS PV Roadmap Released; CIGS Solar Stocks to Watch

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - July 11, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, reports on the first ever CIGS PV Roadmap released by the U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (PVMC) and the potential for related CIGS solar stocks for investors.

For investors unfamiliar with CIGS, it's a semiconductor material made from the raw materials of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium and has the highest conversion efficiency of any thin-film solar cell.
CIGS solar stocks to watch include XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) , Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), Solar Thin Films, Inc. (OTC: SLTZ), Solar Frontier subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. (TYO: 5002) and TSMC Solar , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. (NYSE:TSM). Solar Frontier is the world's largest CIGS manufacturer.
The U.S. Photovoltaic Manufacturing Consortium (PVMC), an industry-led consortium for cooperation amongst industry, university, and government partners to accelerate the development, commercialization, manufacturing, field testing and deployment of next-generation solar photovoltaic (PV) has released its first-ever U.S. CIGS PV Roadmap report.
According to their press release, "Photovoltaics and especially thin-film PV are again at a tipping point," said Larry Kazmerski, co-chair of the U.S. CIGS PV Roadmap. "We want PV to be a substantial part of the world's energy portfolio and our efforts with this roadmap are aimed to help make CIGS thin films a significant part of that solar success."
XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) says its processing technology, which they call CIGSolar®, focuses on the mass production of thin-film CIGS solar cells utilizing a proprietary multi-area thermal deposition process to minimize processing defects to create highly uniform CIGS films. The cells match silicon solar cell dimensions and could provide a low-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells. According to XsunX, Inc.CEO Tom Djokovich. “What is unique to CIGS is that it offers the opportunity to match or exceed the conversion efficiencies of silicon and can cost less to manufacture. The silicon industry benefits from about 30-years of incremental improvements while we are just getting going with CIGS, and this is where the real excitement in CIGS lies - the industry has so much untapped potential.”
TSMC Solar , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. (NYSE:TSM).announced in June, confirmation by TUV SUD that its latest commercial-sized (1.09 m2) CIGS champion module has achieved 15.7% module total area efficiency. The new champion module improves on TSMC Solar's previous 15.1% world record set in January this year. The module was produced using the current manufacturing equipment and materials at the company's manufacturing facility in Taichung, Taiwan.
For investors following the solar sector the take -away is CIGS will be playing a key role in the future of solar efficiency and its overall success .

Investorideas.com Newswire - Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Investorideas.com Newswire - Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Snapshot of Hydrogenics (TSX: HYG), Ballard (NASDAQ:BLDP)

New York, NY , Point Roberts WA– Tuesday July 9th, 2013 – (www.investorideas.com newswire,) Taylor Van Zant of Investorideas.com., an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, reports on the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell market and the recent Hydrogen + Fuel Cell C Conference (HFC 2013 ) (http://www.hfc2013.com/), held in Vancouver June 16th – 19th, 2013.



Clean, renewable energy continues to be a growing industry as more and more countries across the globe are forced, or choose, to implement more environmentally conscious energy plans. In this renewable energy emergence market Hydrogen and Fuel cell technology is fast becoming a rising star.



This year, the sixth Hydrogen + Fuel Cell Conference took place at the Vancouver Convention Center, hosting some of the leading developers and innovation in the Hydrogen and Fuel cell industry as well as some high profile public companies showcasing their latest developments.



The British Columbia Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Investment is promoting, and with good reason, the Province to investors as the home to the world’s third-largest clean technology cluster. Dozens of fuel cell companies and research organizations are located in B.C such as the National Research Council Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI); the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association; the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation; UBC’s Clean Energy Research Centre; NuCellSys; Powertech Labs; and Westport Innovations.



With roughly 70 per cent of Canada’s fuel cell sector centered in or around Metro Vancouver, the city made a great stage for the HFC conference and researchers and industry leaders from around the world were happy to be a part of such a large scale promotion of this lesser known industry.



Fuel Cell technology implementation has faced the obstacles of the recession in the last few years and the obvious troubles related to cost efficiency, but the industry is now making a strong recovery and proving to be beneficial to other sectors of the green energy industry.



A little about Hydrogen and Fuel Cells:



There are a variety of benefits to using fuel cells, and especially Hydrogen based ones, as fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines and most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. This makes them ideal for use within buildings such as hospitals or on military compounds across the globe. Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water. If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle. Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can therefore reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation. Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where there is water and a source of power, generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent. The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralized power grid that is potentially more stable. Another military feature of some low temperature fuel cells (PEMFC, DMFC) is there low heat transmission which makes them ideal for covert military applications. Higher temperature fuel cells produce high-grade process heat along with electricity and are well suited to cogeneration applications (such as combined heat and power for residential use). Operating times are much longer than with batteries, since doubling the operating time needs only doubling the amount of fuel and not the doubling of the capacity of the unit itself. Unlike batteries, fuel cells have no "memory effect" when they are getting refueled. The maintenance of fuel cells   full article: http://www.investorideas.com/news/2013/renewable-energy/07092.asp# 

Investorideas.com - How to profit from the shale revolution in Latin America

Investorideas.com - How to profit from the shale revolution in Latin America

A small company with big potential in Colombia; (TSX:CNE), (bvc:CNEC)

By: James McKeigue, MoneyWeek

July 9, 2013 (Investorideas.com energy stocks newswire) What do the Russian government and Greenpeace have in common? They both fear the spread of America's shale gas revolution. The former worries that if shale takes off elsewhere it will weaken its position in the market, while the latter dreads the supposed environmental consequences of global shale production.


I'm sure you have all heard about shale gas by now, but just to recap, shale gas is natural gas trapped within shale rock formations. Over the past decade, new drilling methods and a process called hydraulic fracturing ('fracking'), which involves pumping a mix of pressurised water, sand and chemicals underground to crack underground rocks and free the gas. Producers now have access to gas that was once uneconomic to extract.
So far the 'shale revolution' has been largely confined to the US , where there is so much of the stuff, there has been a glut. This has helped to drive prices of natural gas to new lows in recent years.
But attempts to launch it elsewhere have failed. For example, after wasting millions of dollars drilling failed wells in Poland – supposedly Europe's best shale prospect – ExxonMobil pulled out of the country last year.

Q&A with Chairman & CEO of Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Discussing FDA approval of IDE to Treat Hepatitis C (HCV) Patients and What's Next for the Aethlon Hemopurifier®

Point Roberts, WA, New York, NY - July 9, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including biotech and medical technology stocks, issues an exclusive Q&A with Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: AEMD), following recent news that the United States FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that allows the Company to initiate human feasibility studies of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® in the United States for the treatment of Hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Mr. James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc. discusses the path to reach this milestone and what’s next for the Aethlon Hemopurifier®.
Q: Investorideas.com
Jim can you tell us what the significance of the recent FDA approval is to Aethlon and a short synopsis of the road taken to get here?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
In regards to significance, our Hemopurifier® is the first medical device of its kind to be cleared by FDA for human studies in the United States. Based on previous treatment outcomes, our initial target is the elimination of circulating Hepatitis C virus. As we advance clinically, we plan to expand the indications for our Hemopurifier into other infectious disease and cancer targets. Regarding the road to get here? This all started out as a theoretical concept of a device that could selectively eliminate a broad-spectrum of disease targets from the entire circulatory system. With the approval from FDA to start U.S. studies, we are taking a major step toward turning our original vision into a reality.  
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you explain the steps and timeline for the first feasibility study?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
We expect the study to kick-off toward year-end with completion expected toward the end of Q1 or early Q2 of 2014. We are now preparing for a manufacturing run to support our studies here in the U.S. as well as a compassionate-use program that has been established in India.
Q: Investorideas.com
Separate from Hepatitis C virus (HCV), what other diseases can be potentially be targeted?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Well, we conducted a successful proof of principal study in a HIV-AIDS patient and have also had leading government and non-government researchers conduct studies to validate the broad-spectrum capabilities of the Hemopurifier against numerous bioterror and pandemic threats. However, outside of HCV we are most excited about the discovery that the Hemopurifier® captures tumor-secreted exosomes underlying cancer. These particles contribute to establishing and spreading metastasis and they are extremely immunosuppressive. In fact, the quantity of exosomes in circulation is in direct correlation with stage of cancer. So, if you don’t have cancer, exosomes shouldn’t be present. However, if you have stage-four cancer, the quantity of circulating exosomes can be massive. We believe our Hemopurifier® is the first therapeutic candidate to address this vital target in cancer and because of our early work in the field, we already have a patent issued to protect our exosome related endeavors.
Q: Investorideas.com
Following completion of the feasibility study; what’s next?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
We would move quickly to collaborate with FDA to establish the treatment protocol for a pivotal study, which is required prior to commercial launch. Additionally, we would seek to leverage our feasibility data into other therapeutic targets.
Q: Investorideas.com
With current treatments available for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients; can you explain how the Hemopurifier® compliments drug regiments as well as addresses needs when resistance to drug regimens arises?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Whether the treatment strategy is current interferon-based standard of care or emerging all-antivirals, our objective is to combine our Hemopurifier with therapy to accelerate the rate at which a patient first achieves undetectable HCV in circulation. In HCV care, the quicker an individual achieves undetectable viral load the higher the cure rate. As an example, only 11% of patients who initiate interferon-based therapy will achieve undetectable viral load at day 30 which is also known as a rapid viral response or RVR. Based on large-scale studies, RVR achievement equates to 86% cure rates versus less than 40% for non-RVR patients. We have demonstrated that a just a three treatment Hemopurifier® therapy regimen when administered to hard-to-treat HCV genotype 1 patients in combination with interferon-based therapy can achieve undetectable HCV in as little as seven days. We also envision that Hemopurifier® therapy will offer a solution to viral rebound patients who initially achieve undetectable viral load but then have the presence of virus reestablishing as a result of emerging drug resistance. This represents another opportunity for us to enhance the outcome of either all-antiviral or interferon-based therapies.
Q: Investorideas.com
The FDA news was a major milestone for the company and the Hemopurifier® but there are also major developments underway with the technology with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). For new investors can you give them a brief outline where this stands?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Sure, the technology platform underlying our Hemopurifier® is being utilized as the basis for a new device to treat sepsis, which is a leading cause of death in wounded warfighters and civilians in the ICU. In this regard, we were initially awarded a $6.8 million contract and then recently were part of a group that won a follow-on contract worth $22 million. We hope to be in a position to share some of our sepsis treatment advances in the near future.
Q: Investorideas.com
For a small medical technology company Aethlon Medical now has an impressive track record for its core technology. You have stayed the course over time, in spite of market conditions and having to fund the company in less than ideal times for small business. Can you tell us about the driving force behind that conviction?
A: James A. Joyce, Chairman, CEO of Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Getting to this point was hard. Think of the challenge. We were attempting to create a therapeutic mechanism that never previously existed and we would likely need to survive a decade or more without generating revenues in an industry where most therapeutic candidates never make it into human studies. However, when reflecting back, I could have never imagined that we would have the breadth of therapeutic opportunities that we have today in cancer, infectious disease and other life-threatening conditions.
About Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD)
