Executive Summary

Aethlon Medical (AEMD) reported a substantial net loss in QQ1 2026 driven by high operating expenses and non-operating items, with revenue not disclosed in the provided data. Management emphasized strategic prioritization of regulatory progress for the Hemopurifier, focusing on Australia as the fastest path to PMA or efficacy trial readiness, and elected not to proceed with the India oncology trial to reduce execution risk and preserve optionality. The Australian program advanced to a second treatment cohort after a DSMB review confirmed safety in the first cohort, signaling a positive near-term risk reduction and a potential path toward early efficacy signals, subject to confirmatory data. Separately, management highlighted preclinical data in long COVID and platelet-derived EVs (PD-EVs) removal, underscoring the Hemopurifier’s broader mechanistic rationale and potential future indications.

From a liquidity and balance-sheet perspective, the quarterly narrative described meaningful cost controls and operational efficiency improvements, with cash-position commentary inconsistent between the earnings call and the balance sheet data provided. The call notes a cash balance around $3.8 million, while the balance sheet shows a cash balance in the billions; this discrepancy warrants verification with the Form 10-Q. Regardless, the company’s cash burn on a trailing basis remains high relative to a typical small-cap healthcare technology company at this stage, creating a meaningful reliance on external funding or strategic partnerships to sustain ongoing trials and development. The near-term catalysts include DSMB-driven enrollment progression in Australia, planned data readouts from Grau lab on EV dynamics and antitumor T-cell function (expected September 2025), and potential PMA/efficacy trial design decisions for Australia by late 2025–early 2026. Investors should monitor regulatory milestones, enrollment cadence across three Australian sites, and the evolution of preclinical efficacy signals as potential precursors to a larger, partnered development program.
