The aim was to establish safety for intranasal Ampligen as a potential broad-spectrum prophylaxis for respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus (COVID-19). In January, AIM entered into a sponsor agreement with the Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR), to manage a Phase I randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and activity of repeated intranasal administration of Ampligen. Research expenses for the quarter totaled $1.3 million. The company reported a net loss from operations for the 2Q of $5.9 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.11 per share, for the 2Q of June 2020. “Patient enrollment has been initiated in this study designed for up to 45 patients,” said the company. In addition, AIM ImmunoTech has Phase IIa study of Ampligen as a component of a chemokine modulatory regimen on colorectal cancer metastatic to liver and a Phase II study investigating the effectiveness and safety of aspirin and Ampligen with or without interferon-alpha 2b (Intron A) compared to no drug treatments in a randomized three-arm study of patients with prostate cancer before undergoing radical prostatectomy. ![]() “Eight patients were enrolled and treated,” said the firm. The firm has a Phase 1/2 study of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer using chemokine modulation therapy, including Ampligen and pembrolizumab. “Up to 45 patients to be enrolled enrollment has commenced, and 17 subjects have now commenced treatment,” said the company. Multiple additional Ampligen clinical trials are underway including in a follow-up Phase 2 study of advanced recurrent ovarian cancer using cisplatin and pembrolizumab, plus Ampligen. AIM anticipates that these planned trials primarily will be AIM-sponsored and AIM-funded.Īnalyses of data collected in the Early Access Program at Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands found a positive survival benefit when using Ampligen in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer after systemic chemotherapy.īased on the encouraging data, AIM is developing a protocol design and schema - in consultation with Amarex Clinical Research, Buffet Cancer Center at the University of Nebraska and Erasmus MC - to seek regulatory approval to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of Ampligen in the US and European Union. We remain extremely encouraged by the outlook for Ampligen,” he added.Īfter years of success in studies and trials, AIM has decided to strategically narrow its focus to trials that have the shortest path to potential US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) drug approval. “We anticipate reporting material developments throughout the remainder of this year and through 2022.
