Aethlon Medical Inc (AEMD)

As we know, Aethlon announced FDA IDE approval on June 25th 2013. Seven months later (Jan. 14th) JJ announces changes and discussions with two larger companies for the FDA IDE studies. Now we are entering our eighth month and still no idea of when they plan the start up. Below was taken from the FDA approval PR.

"Aethlon Medical has been laying the groundwork necessary to implement the now approved clinical trial protocol for several years" said Rod Kenley, Aethlon's President. "We are finally able to move forward with our contract research and clinical partners in finalizing all of the activities that can now take place prior to initiating treatment of the first patient. While there is still some work to be done, today the biggest hurdle has been cleared and we are anxious to make rapid progress towards commercialization."

Well IMO, if eight months is anxious rapid progress with no updates, then who knows when this will happen. A shareholders letter would have been nice, just to keep us a little informed. All this secret squirrel stuff, better be worth this long unknown wait. Thanks for letting me vent. I feel a little better now.
