AIM ImmunoTech Announces the Presentation of Ampligen Oncology Data at the Recent Annual Meeting of the American Association of Immunologists

Core Insights - AIM ImmunoTech Inc. presented clinical trial data for its drug Ampligen at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Immunologists, highlighting its potential in treating cancers and immune disorders [1][2]. Company Overview - AIM ImmunoTech Inc. is focused on developing therapeutics for various cancers, immune disorders, and viral diseases, including COVID-19. Its lead product, Ampligen (rintatolimod), is a first-in-class investigational drug that acts as a highly selective TLR3 agonist [3]. Clinical Data Presentation - The presentation by Dr. Pawel Kalinski discussed the unique selectivity of Ampligen in promoting CTL (cytotoxic T lymphocyte) influx into the tumor microenvironment (TME) while avoiding Treg (regulatory T cell) attraction. This selectivity differentiates Ampligen from other treatments like poly-I:C [2]. - Mechanistic data indicated that Ampligen's selectivity is due to its avoidance of helicase-dependent activation of NFkB, which prevents the induction of undesirable inflammatory factors while focusing on tumor tissues [2]. CEO Commentary - The CEO of AIM ImmunoTech expressed confidence in Ampligen's potential as a therapeutic option for unmet medical needs, particularly in the context of deadly cancers [3].
