We are a medical therapeutic company focused on developing the Hemopurifier® (HP), a clinical-stage immunotherapeutic device intended for applications in cancer, life-threatening viral infections, and organ transplantation and other areas of significant unmet needs. In human studies (164 sessions with 38 patients), the Hemopurifier was used safely and demonstrated the potential to remove enveloped viruses. In pre-clinical studies, the Hemopurifier has exhibited the capacity to remove harmful extracellular vesicles (EVs) and enveloped viruses from biological fluids, utilizing its proprietary lectin-based mechanism. These extracellular vesicles have been implicated in disease processes such as immune suppression and metastasis in cancer as well as in the progression of severe life-threatening infectious diseases. The U.S.
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, which reflects the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, manages the business and allocates resources. The Company is a development-stage medical technology company focused on advancing a clinical-stage therapeutic device, with key operational decisions based on cash availability, development milestones, and return on investment associated with future manufacturing and commercialization opportunities. Although the Company has no commercial revenue, the CODM regularly reviews certain expense categories and cash flow metrics to assess progress and allocate resources. The primary internal measure of performance used by the CODM is cash used in operating activities, rather than traditional profit or loss measures.

Historically, manufacturing of our Hemopurifier was conducted in collaboration with a contract manufacturer based in California, operating under current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations promulgated by the FDA. Our contract manufacturer is registered with the FDA. To date, production of the Hemopurifier has been limited to quantities necessary to support our clinical studies. In May 2024, the FDA approved the use of our own manufacturing for the production of Hemopurifiers. We have since initiated manufacturing activities at our facility under cGMP conditions to support ongoing and planned clinical development. Our costs of compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws have been immaterial to date. 14 Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers
Aethlon personnel assemble the various components of the Hemopurifier with materials from our various suppliers, which are purchased and released by Aethlon. Specifically, the Hemopurifier contains three critical components with limited available suppliers. The GNA lectin is sourced from Vector Laboratories Inc. and also is available from other suppliers. Our intended transition from Vector Laboratories to a new supplier for GNA is delayed as we work with the FDA for approval of our supplement to our IDE, which is required to make this manufacturing change. The base cartridge on which the Hemopurifier is constructed is sourced from Medica S.p.A and we are dependent on the continued availability of these cartridges. Although there are other suppliers, the process of qualifying a new supplier takes time and regulatory approvals must be obtained.

Behind the comparison

Sources and methodology

Price return uses split-adjusted daily closes and excludes dividends. Both stocks start on the first shared trading day within the selected window. Unavailable metrics leave gaps.

Financials use SEC canonical statements available by the displayed cutoff, retaining each company's fiscal period end. Annual and quarterly amounts are shown separately. P/E is unavailable when earnings do not support a positive ratio.

Business overlap uses industry tags from annual filings released in 2025. Each core activity receives full weight; each material activity receives one quarter of that weight. Rarer industries carry more weight. We sum the smaller exposure for each shared activity and divide it by the sum of the larger exposure for every activity in either company. This measures business overlap, rather than price correlation or expected returns.

Search eligibility requires distinct issuers, a shared core category and at least 20% weighted overlap, supported by industry or sector evidence and specific business activities. Broad classifications require stronger overlap within the same sector. Comparisons also need at least 252 shared price observations within two years, recent trading and a common sourced revenue or net-income trend. Missing P/E or gross margin alone does not exclude a comparison. The eligibility snapshot refreshes daily. Related comparisons use a separate, stricter peer rule; their ten-peer discovery limit does not limit search eligibility. Other stock pairs remain available in the comparison tool.
