AIM ImmunoTech has announced the approval of its post-COVID-19 Long Hauler clinical trial for its drug Ampligen. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) has authorized public notification for enrollment, allowing up to 100 participants, including 20 Long Haulers experiencing chronic fatigue post-COVID-19. Ampligen, an immune-system modulator, is already approved for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Argentina and is the only late-stage candidate in the U.S. for ME/CFS. AIM aims to address the critical health need for therapies targeting chronic fatigue resulting from COVID-19.

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. FDA for its drug Ampligen (rintatolimod), aimed at treating pancreatic cancer. This designation grants seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. Pancreatic cancer is notably lethal, with a five-year survival rate of only 6%. Recent data from a study at Erasmus University Medical Center indicated that patients treated with Ampligen had a median survival rate 200% higher than a historical control group. However, further testing and trials are required to confirm effectiveness.

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation for its drug Ampligen (rintatolimod) to treat pancreatic cancer, a disease with a low five-year survival rate of just 6%. This designation provides seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. The company also reported statistically significant survival results from a study at Erasmus University, showing a median survival rate approximately 200% higher in patients treated with Ampligen compared to a historical control group. This suggests potential for extended survival rates against the standard care for pancreatic cancer.
