−Removed: drugs, our ability to discover new drugs in the future, changing market conditions, changes in laws and regulations affecting our industry,
−Removed: and issues related to our New Brunswick, New Jersey facility.
−Removed: the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus and our prior research into Ampligen’s antiviral activity against Severe Acute Respiratory
−Removed: Syndrome, or SARS, we are focusing on the potential of Ampligen to serve as a protective prophylaxis and an early-onset therapeutic for
−Removed: Significant testing and trials will be required to determine whether Ampligen will be effective in the treatment of the COVID-19
−Removed: coronavirus in humans and no assurance can be given that it will be the case.
−Removed: Our beliefs rely on a number of studies.
−Removed: No assurance can

−Removed: cannot assure that our potential operations in foreign countries will not be adversely affected by these risks.
−Removed: We have filed provisional
−Removed: patent applications related to the COVID-19 coronavirus.
−Removed: However, these filings do not assure that patents will ultimately be granted.
−Removed: February 2013, we received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for our Ampligen New Drug
−Removed: Application, or NDA, for the treatment of CFS.
−Removed: The FDA communicated that we should conduct at least one additional clinical trial, complete
−Removed: various nonclinical studies and perform a number of data analyses.
−Removed: Accordingly, the remaining steps to potentially gain FDA approval
−Removed: of the Ampligen NDA, the final results of these and other ongoing activities could vary materially from our expectations and could adversely
−Removed: affect the chances for approval of the Ampligen NDA.
−Removed: These activities and the ultimate outcomes are subject to a variety of risks and
−Removed: uncertainties, including but not limited to risks that (i) the FDA may ask for additional data, information or studies to be completed
−Removed: and (ii) the FDA may require additional work related to the commercial manufacturing process to be completed or may, in
−Removed: the course of the inspection of manufacturing facilities, identify issues to be resolved.
−Removed: August 2016, we received approval of our NDA from Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnologia Medica, or ANMAT, for
−Removed: commercial sale of rintatolimod (U.S.
−Removed: Ampligen®) in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe CFS.
−Removed: will be marketed by GP Pharm, our commercial partner in Latin America.
−Removed: We believe, but cannot assure, that this approval provides a platform
−Removed: for potential sales in certain countries within the European Union under regulations that support cross-border pharmaceutical sales of
−Removed: licensed drugs.
−Removed: In Europe, approval in a country with a stringent regulatory process in place, such as Argentina, should add further
−Removed: validation for the product as the Early Access Program, or EAP, as discussed below and underway in Europe in pancreatic cancer.
−Removed: approval is only an initial, but important, step in the overall successful commercialization of our product.
−Removed: There are a number of actions
−Removed: that must occur before we could be able to commence commercial sales in Argentina.
−Removed: In September 2019, we received clearance from the
−Removed: FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales.
−Removed: We are currently working with GP Pharma on the commercial
−Removed: launch of Ampligen in Argentina.
−Removed: Commercialization in Argentina will require, among other things, an appropriate reimbursement level,
−Removed: appropriate marketing strategies, completion of manufacturing preparations for launch and ANMAT conducting a final inspection of the
−Removed: product and release tests before granting final approval to begin commercial sales.
−Removed: This testing and approval process is currently delayed
−Removed: due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ANMAT’s internal processes.
−Removed: Approval of rintatolimod for severe CFS in the Argentine Republic
−Removed: does not in any way suggest that the Ampligen NDA in the United States or any comparable application filed in the European Union or elsewhere
−Removed: will obtain commercial approval.
−Removed: May 2016, we entered into a five-year agreement with myTomorrows, a Netherlands based company, for the commencement and management of
−Removed: an EAP in Europe and Turkey related to CFS.
−Removed: Pursuant to the agreement, myTomorrows, as our exclusive service provider and distributor
−Removed: in this territory, is performing EAP activities.
−Removed: In January 2017, the EAP was extended to pancreatic cancer patients beginning in the
−Removed: In February 2018, we signed an amendment to extend the territory to cover Canada to treat pancreatic cancer patients, pending
−Removed: government approval.
−Removed: In March 2018, we signed an amendment to which myTomorrows will be our exclusive service provider for special access
−Removed: activities in Canada for the supply of Ampligen for the treatment of CFS.
−Removed: No assurance can be given that we can sufficiently supply product
−Removed: should we experience an unexpected demand for Ampligen in our clinical studies, the commercial launch in Argentina or pursuant to the
−Removed: No assurance can be given that Ampligen will prove effective in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
−Removed: six oncology Ampligen clinical trials are underway, in various phases of development and activity, with a number of
−Removed: subjects enrolled at university cancer centers testing whether tumor microenvironments can be reprogrammed to increase the
−Removed: effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, including checkpoint blockade.
−Removed: Four studies are at Roswell Park and two
−Removed: studies are at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
−Removed: No assurance can be given as to the results of these underway
−Removed: Four additional cancer trials in collaboration with University Medical/Cancer Research Centers using Ampligen plus
−Removed: checkpoint blockade are in various pre-enrollment stages.
−Removed: No assurance can be given as to whether some or all of the planned
−Removed: additional oncology clinical trials will occur and they are subject to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s),
−Removed: lack of study drug, or a change in priorities at the sponsoring universities or cancer centers.
−Removed: Even if these additional
−Removed: clinical trials are initiated, as we are not the sponsor, we cannot assure that these clinical studies or the studies
−Removed: underway will be successful or yield any useful data.
−Removed: In addition, initiation of planned clinical trials may not occur
−Removed: secondary to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s) or lack of study drug.
−Removed: Even if these clinical trials are
−Removed: initiated, we cannot assure that the clinical studies will be successful or yield any useful data or require additional
−Removed: overall objectives include plans to continue seeking approval for commercialization of Ampligen in the United States and abroad as well
−Removed: as seeking to broaden commercial therapeutic indications for Alferon N Injection presently approved in the United States and Argentina.
−Removed: We continue to pursue senior co-development partners with the capital and expertise needed to commercialize our products and to enter
−Removed: into arrangements with them on commercially reasonable terms.
−Removed: Our ability to commercialize our products, widen commercial therapeutic
−Removed: indications of Alferon N Injection and/or capitalize on our collaborations with research laboratories to examine our products are subject
−Removed: to a number of significant risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to our ability to enter into more definitive agreements
−Removed: with some of the research laboratories and others that we are collaborating with, to fund and conduct additional testing and studies,
−Removed: whether or not such testing is successful or requires additional testing and meets the requirements of the FDA and comparable foreign
−Removed: regulatory agencies.
−Removed: We do not know when, if ever, our products will be generally available for commercial sale for any indication.
−Removed: strived to maximize the outsourcing of certain components of our manufacturing, quality control, marketing and distribution while maintaining
−Removed: control over the entire process through our quality assurance and regulatory groups.
−Removed: We cannot provide any guarantee that the facility
−Removed: or our contract manufacturers will pass an FDA pre-approval inspection for Alferon manufacturing.
−Removed: production of new Alferon Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or API, inventory will begin at our New Brunswick facility once the validation
−Removed: phase is complete.
−Removed: While the facility has already been approved by the FDA under the Biological License Application, or BLA, for Alferon,
−Removed: this status will need to be reaffirmed by a successful Pre-Approval Inspection by the FDA prior to commercial sale of newly produced
−Removed: inventory product.
−Removed: If and when we obtain a reaffirmation of FDA BLA status and has begun production of new Alferon API, it will need
−Removed: FDA approval as to the quality and stability of the final product before commercial sales can resume.
−Removed: We will need additional funds to
−Removed: finance the revalidation process in our facility to initiate commercial manufacturing, thereby readying ourselves for an FDA Pre-Approval
−Removed: If we are unable to gain the necessary FDA approvals related to the manufacturing process and/or final product of new Alferon
−Removed: inventory, our operations most likely will be materially and/or adversely affected.
−Removed: In light of these contingencies, there can be no
−Removed: assurances that the approved Alferon N Injection product will be returned to production on a timely basis, if at all, or that if and
−Removed: when it is again made commercially available, it will return to prior sales levels.
−Removed: have been delays related to importing Ampligen to China.
−Removed: We are working with Shenzhen Smoore to alleviate these issues and to
−Removed: identify a mutually beneficial course of action that would allow us to move forward with the proposed testing of Ampligen.
−Removed: will announce when the shipment for testing purposes has been completed.
−Removed: If we are unable to resolve these issues, we will explore
−Removed: inhalation therapy elsewhere.
−Removed: AIM and Smoore signed a two-month extension of the MTA on April 1, 2021 and are working toward
−Removed: agreement on a longer extension.
−Removed: believe, and are investigating, Ampligen’s potential role in enhancing the activity of influenza vaccines.
−Removed: While certain studies
−Removed: involving rodents, non-human primates (monkeys) and healthy human subjects indicate that Ampligen may enhance the activity of influenza
−Removed: vaccines by conferring increased cross-reactivity or cross-protection, further studies will be required and no assurance can be given
−Removed: that Ampligen will assist in the development of a universal vaccine for influenza or other viruses.

−Removed: be an effective treatment for this virus or could be part of a vaccine.
−Removed: We believe that Ampligen has the potential to be both an early-onset
−Removed: treatment for and prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2.
−Removed: Ampligen also has potential as a COVID-19 vaccine strategy that combines Ampligen as
−Removed: an immune enhancer seeking to boost the efficacy of intranasal and other vaccines and, as to intranasal, also convey cross-reactivity
−Removed: and cross-protection against future mutations.
−Removed: We believe that prior studies of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-1 animal experimentation may predict
−Removed: similar protective effects against the new virus.
−Removed: in April 2020, we entered into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with numerous companies for the potential outsourcing of
−Removed: the production of polymer, enzyme, placebo as well as Ampligen and one Contract Research Organization which may also assist with the
−Removed: planning, presentation and filing of documents with the FDA.
−Removed: These confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are only the initial

−Removed: and also at major cancer research centers in the United States.
−Removed: is also being evaluated for the treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
−Removed: We are currently sponsoring
−Removed: an expanded access program for ME/CFS patients in the U.S.
−Removed: In August 2016, we received approval of our New Drug Application (NDA) from
−Removed: Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnologia Medica (ANMAT) for commercial sale of Ampligen in the Argentine Republic
−Removed: for the treatment of severe CFS.
−Removed: With regulatory approval in Argentina, Ampligen is the world’s only approved therapeutic for ME/CFS.
−Removed: Shipment of the drug product to Argentina was initiated in 2018 to complete the release testing by ANMAT needed for commercial distribution.
−Removed: On September 19, 2019, we received clearance from the FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales.
−Removed: On June 10, 2020, we received import clearance from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen to Argentina.
−Removed: The next steps in the commercial launch of Ampligen include ANMAT conducting a final inspection of the product and release tests before
−Removed: granting final approval to begin commercial sales.
−Removed: We have supplied GP Pharm with the Ampligen required for testing and ANMAT release.
−Removed: This testing and approval process is currently delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ANMAT’s internal processes.
−Removed: approval by ANMAT is obtained, GP Pharm will begin distributing Ampligen in Argentina.

−Removed: Over its developmental history, Ampligen has received
−Removed: various designations, including Orphan Drug Product Designation (FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”)), Treatment protocol
−Removed: (e.g., “Expanded Access”
−Removed: or “Compassionate”
−Removed: use authorization) with Cost Recovery Authorization (FDA) and “promising”
−Removed: clinical outcome recognition based on the evaluation of certain summary clinical reports (“AHRQ”
−Removed: or Agency for Healthcare
−Removed: Research and Quality).
−Removed: Ampligen represents the first drug in the class of large (macromolecular) dsRNA molecules to apply for NDA review.
−Removed: Based on the results of published, peer reviewed pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, we believe that Ampligen may have broad-spectrum
−Removed: anti-viral and anti-cancer properties.
−Removed: believe that nucleic acid compounds represent a potential new class of pharmaceutical products designed to act at the molecular level
−Removed: for treatment of many human diseases.
−Removed: There are two forms of nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) and ribonucleic
−Removed: acid (“RNA”).
−Removed: DNA is a group of naturally occurring molecules found in chromosomes, the cell’s genetic machinery.
−Removed: is a group of naturally occurring informational molecules which orchestrate a cell’s behavior which, in turn, regulates the action
−Removed: of groups of cells, including the cells which compromise the body’s immune system.
−Removed: RNA directs the production of proteins and regulates
−Removed: certain cell activities including the activation of an otherwise dormant cellular defense against viruses and tumors.
−Removed: Our drug technology
−Removed: utilizes specifically-configured RNA and is a selective Toll-like Receptor 3 (TLR3) agonist that is administered intravenously.
−Removed: has been assigned the generic name rintatolimod by the United States Adopted Names Council (USANC) and has the chemical designation poly(I):poly(C 12 U).
−Removed: trials of Ampligen that have been conducted or that are ongoing include studies of the potential treatment of patients with renal cell
−Removed: carcinoma, malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung, ovarian, breast, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancer, ME/CFS, Hepatitis B
−Removed: have received approval of our NDA from ANMAT for commercial sale of rintatolimod (U.S.
−Removed: Ampligen) in the Argentine Republic
−Removed: for the treatment of severe CFS.
−Removed: The product will be marketed by GP Pharm, our commercial partner in Latin America.
−Removed: Shipment of the drug
−Removed: product to Argentina was initiated in 2018 to complete the release testing by ANMAT needed for commercial distribution.
−Removed: 19, 2019, we received clearance from the FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales.
−Removed: 2020, we received import clearance from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen to Argentina.
−Removed: currently working with GP Pharm on the commercial launch of Ampligen in Argentina.
−Removed: Commercialization in Argentina will require, among
−Removed: other things, GP Pharm to establish disease awareness, medical education, creation of an appropriate reimbursement level, design of marketing
−Removed: strategies and completion of manufacturing preparations for launch and ANMAT conducting a final inspection of the product and release
−Removed: tests before granting final approval to begin commercial sales.
−Removed: AIM has supplied GP Pharm with the Ampligen required for testing and
−Removed: ANMAT release.
−Removed: This testing and approval
−Removed: process is currently delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ANMAT’s internal processes.

−Removed: an open-label safety study under which severely debilitated CFS patients have the opportunity to be on Ampligen to treat this very serious
−Removed: and chronic condition.
−Removed: The data collected from the AMP-511 protocol through clinical sites provide safety information regarding the use
−Removed: of Ampligen in patients with CFS.
−Removed: We are establishing an enlarged data base of clinical safety information which we believe will provide
−Removed: further documentation regarding the absence of autoimmune disease associated with Ampligen treatment.
−Removed: We believe that continued efforts
−Removed: to understand existing data, and to advance the development of new data and information, will ultimately support our future filings for
−Removed: Ampligen and/or the design of future clinical studies that the FDA requested in a complete response letter.
−Removed: The FDA approved the increase
−Removed: reimbursement level from $200 to $345 per 200 mg vial of Ampligen, due to increased production costs;
−Removed: which was re-authorized in 2021.
−Removed: At this time, we do not plan on passing this adjustment along to the patients in this program.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2021, there are 11 patients
−Removed: enrolled in this open-label expanded access treatment protocol.
−Removed: In October 2020, we received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval
−Removed: for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program (EAP) clinical trial for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
−Removed: (ME/CFS) to include patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 following clearance of the virus, but who still demonstrate chronic
−Removed: fatigue-like symptoms;
−Removed: 1 of the 11 patients enrolled has post COVID chronic fatigue-like symptoms.
−Removed: May 2016, we entered into a five-year agreement with myTomorrows, a Netherlands based company, for the commencement and management of
−Removed: an Early Access Program (“EAP”) in Europe and Turkey (the “Territory”) related to ME/CFS.
−Removed: Pursuant to the agreement,
−Removed: as amended, myTomorrows also will manage all Early Access Programs and Special Access Programs in Europe, Canada and Turkey to treat
−Removed: pancreatic cancer and ME/CFS patients.
−Removed: The agreement automatically extends for a period of 12 months on May 20, 2021.
−Removed: April 2018, we completed data analysis of an intranasal human safety study of Ampligen plus FluMist®
−Removed: known as AMP-600.
−Removed: was previously closed after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) recommended against the use of FluMist®.
−Removed: Intranasal Ampligen in combination with FluMist®
−Removed: was generally well-tolerated in the study.
−Removed: June 2018, Ampligen was cited as outperforming two other TLR3 agonists, poly IC and natural double stranded RNA, in creating an enhanced
−Removed: tumor microenvironment for checkpoint blockage therapy in the journal of Cancer Research (http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2018/05/31/0008-5472.CAN-17-3985 ).
−Removed: In a head-to-head study in explant culture models, Ampligen activated the TLR3 pathway and promoted an accumulation of killer T cells
−Removed: but, unlike the other two TLR3 agonists, it did so without causing regulatory T cell (Treg) attraction.
−Removed: These findings were considered
−Removed: important because they indicate that Ampligen selectively reprograms the tumor microenvironment by inducing the beneficial aspects of
−Removed: tumor inflammation (attracting killer T cells), without amplifying immune suppressive elements such as regulatory T cells.
−Removed: was conducted at the University of Pittsburgh and Roswell Park as a part of the NIH-funded P01 CA132714 and Ovarian Cancer Specialized
−Removed: Program of Research Excellence (SPORE).
−Removed: Based upon these findings we and Roswell Park expanded our existing scientific collaboration
−Removed: to advance the clinical development of Ampligen which has shown promise in preclinical studies when combined with checkpoint inhibitors
−Removed: The parties executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) designed to further assess the clinical potential of Ampligen
−Removed: in treating certain cancers.
−Removed: This phase I/II study will evaluate the potential of Ampligen to enhance the immune mediated effects of
−Removed: CPIs in patients with advanced solid tumors including bladder, melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.
−Removed: At the moment, this study is on hold
−Removed: as we await updates and next steps from Roswell Park.
−Removed: 2018, we completed production of two commercial-size batches of more than 16,000 vials of Ampligen, following its “Fill & Finish”
−Removed: at Jubilant HollisterStier, the Contract Manufacturing Organization.
−Removed: These lots passed all required testing for regulatory release for
−Removed: human use and are being used for multiple programs including the treatment of ME/CFS, the pancreatic cancer EAP in the Netherlands, and
−Removed: will continue to be used for ongoing and future clinical studies in oncology.
−Removed: Additionally, two lots of Ampligen were manufactured in
−Removed: December 2019 and January 2020 at Jubilant.
−Removed: The current manufactured lots of Ampligen have been fully tested and released for commercial
−Removed: product launch in Argentina and for clinical trials.
−Removed: Additionally, in December 2020, we added Pharmaceutics International Inc.
−Removed: (“Pii”)
−Removed: as a “Fill & Finish”
−Removed: provider to enhance our capacity to produce Ampligen.
−Removed: This addition amplifies our manufacturing
−Removed: capability by providing redundancy and cost savings.
−Removed: The contracts augment our existing fill and finish capacity.
−Removed: N Injection®
−Removed: N Injection is the registered trademark for our injectable formulation of natural alpha interferon.
−Removed: Alferon is the only natural-source,
−Removed: multi-species alpha interferon currently approved for sale in the U.S.
−Removed: and Argentina for the intralesional (within lesions) treatment
−Removed: of refractory (resistant to other treatment) or recurring external genital warts in patients 18 years of age or older.
−Removed: Alferon is also
−Removed: approved in Argentina for the treatment of refractory patients that failed or were intolerant to treatment with recombinant interferons.
−Removed: Certain types of human papilloma viruses (“HPV”) cause genital warts, a sexually transmitted disease (“STD”).
−Removed: According to the CDC, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with approximately 79 million Americans —
−Removed: their late teens and early 20s —
−Removed: infected with HPV.
−Removed: In fact, the CDC states that “HPV is so common that nearly all sexually
−Removed: active men and women get the virus at some point in their lives.”
−Removed: Although they do not usually result in death, genital warts commonly
−Removed: recur, causing significant morbidity and entail substantial health care costs.
−Removed: are a group of proteins produced and secreted by cells to combat diseases.
−Removed: Researchers have identified four major classes of human interferon:
−Removed: alpha, beta, gamma and omega.
−Removed: Alferon N Injection contains a multi-species form of alpha interferon.
−Removed: The world-wide market for injectable
−Removed: alpha interferon-based products has experienced rapid growth and various alpha interferon injectable products are approved for many major
−Removed: medical uses worldwide.
−Removed: Alpha interferons are manufactured commercially in three ways:
−Removed: by genetic engineering, by cell culture, and from
−Removed: human white blood cells.
−Removed: All three of these types of alpha interferon are or were approved for commercial sale in the U.S.
−Removed: alpha interferon is produced from human white blood cells.
−Removed: potential advantages of natural alpha interferon over recombinant (synthetic) interferon produced and marketed by other pharmaceutical
−Removed: firms may be based upon their respective molecular compositions.
−Removed: Natural alpha interferon is composed of a family of proteins containing
−Removed: many molecular species of interferon.
−Removed: In contrast, commercial recombinant alpha interferon products each contain only a single species.
−Removed: Researchers have reported that the various species of interferons may have differing antiviral activity depending upon the type of virus.
−Removed: Natural alpha interferon presents a broad complement of species, which we believe may account for its higher activity in laboratory studies.
−Removed: Natural alpha interferon is also glycosylated (partially covered with sugar molecules).
−Removed: Such glycosylation is not present on the currently
−Removed: marketed recombinant alpha interferons.
−Removed: We believe that the absence of glycosylation may be, in part, responsible for the production
−Removed: of interferon-neutralizing antibodies seen in patients treated with recombinant alpha interferon.
−Removed: Although cell culture-derived interferon
−Removed: is also composed of multiple glycosylated alpha interferon species, the types and relative quantity of these species are different from
−Removed: our natural alpha interferon.
−Removed: N Injection [Interferon alfa-n3 (human leukocyte derived)] is a highly purified, natural-source, glycosylated, multi-species alpha interferon
−Removed: There are essentially no neutralizing antibodies observed against Alferon N Injection to date and the product has a relatively
−Removed: low side-effect profile.
−Removed: The recombinant DNA derived alpha interferon formulations have been reported to have decreased effectiveness
−Removed: after one year of treatment, probably due to neutralizing antibody formation.
−Removed: “Manufacturing”
−Removed: and “Marketing/Distribution”
−Removed: sections below for more details on the manufacture and marketing/distribution
−Removed: of Alferon N Injection.
−Removed: have been working with the University of Pittsburgh’s chemokine modulation research initiative which includes the use of
−Removed: Ampligen as a potential adjuvant to modify the tumor microenvironment (TME) with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to
−Removed: check point inhibitors (CPI).
−Removed: As part of this collaboration, we have supplied Ampligen (rintatolimod) to the University.
−Removed: The study, under the leadership of Robert P.
−Removed: Edwards, MD, chair of gynecologic services at Magee-Women’s Hospital of the
−Removed: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Professor of Surgery Pawel Kalinski, M.D., Ph.D., at Roswell Park, Buffalo, N.Y.,
−Removed: involved the chemokine modulatory regimen developed by Dr.
−Removed: Kalinski’s group and successfully completed the Phase 1 dose
−Removed: escalation in patients with resectable colorectal cancer.
−Removed: In the 1st quarter of 2017, Dr.
−Removed: Kalinski relocated to Roswell Park in
−Removed: Buffalo, NY and has established a cancer program which will continue to require a supply of Ampligen.
−Removed: October 2018, we signed a clinical trial agreement with Roswell Park to evaluate Ampligen in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs).
−Removed: The Phase IIa clinical trial will evaluate the immune-mediated effects of cytokine modulation in combination with CPIs in patients with
−Removed: primary resistance to CPI therapy.
−Removed: The protocol will seek to evaluate the combination of Ampligen and CPIs in patients with advanced
−Removed: urothelial carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and melanoma.
−Removed: Ampligen is our investigational immune-enhancing TLR3 agonist that has demonstrated
−Removed: a robust anti-cancer effect in preclinical models when combined with CPIs.
−Removed: This agreement expands the extensive prior clinical and preclinical
−Removed: work into the clinical checkpoint blockade arena and offers the opportunity to begin evaluation of this combination therapy in patients
−Removed: with a variety of solid tumors where large numbers of patients do not respond or progress following treatment with standard CPI-based
−Removed: This study is on hold as we await next steps from Roswell Park.
−Removed: six Ampligen clinical trials are underway at university cancer centers testing whether tumor microenvironments can be reprogrammed to
−Removed: increase the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors:
−Removed: Recurrent Ovarian Cancer - Phase 1 / 2 study of intraperitoneal chemo-immunotherapy in advanced recurrent ovarian cancer;
−Removed: 1 portion establishes intraperitoneal safety.
−Removed: Awaiting publication of Phase I results.
−Removed: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02432378

−Removed: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03403634
−Removed: Prostate Cancer - Phase 2 study investigating the effectiveness and safety of aspirin and Ampligen with or without interferon-alpha
−Removed: 2b (Intron A) compared to no drug treatments in a randomized three-arm study of patients with prostate cancer before undergoing radical
−Removed: prostatectomy.
−Removed: Patient enrollment has been initiated in this study designed for up to 45 patients.
−Removed: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03899987
−Removed: Triple Negative Breast Cancer - Phase 1 study of chemokine modulation plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early-stage
−Removed: triple negative breast cancer has received FDA authorization;
−Removed: the objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability
−Removed: of a combination of Ampligen, celecoxib with or without Intron A, when given along with chemotherapy;
−Removed: the goal of this approach is
−Removed: to increase survival.
−Removed: This study is recruiting patients designed for up to 24 patients.
−Removed: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04081389
−Removed: Ampligen clinical trials are planned for initiation in 2021:
−Removed: Brain-Metastatic
−Removed: Breast Cancer —
−Removed: Phase 2 study to assess the effectiveness of a three-pronged strategy combining distinct immunotherapy
−Removed: approaches, including Ampligen.
−Removed: Roswell Park and Moffitt Cancer Center have both received “Breakthrough Awards”
−Removed: Department of Defense (DOD).
−Removed: Together, these separate but parallel proposed clinical trials are receiving approximately
−Removed: $15 million in DOD funding to study Ampligen.
−Removed: Roswell Park is currently working on its draft of the IND, which its study and Moffitt’s
−Removed: study require before next steps can be taken.
−Removed: 4 Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma —
−Removed: Phase 2 study that will evaluate Ampligen in combination with pembrolizumab
−Removed: in refractory metastatic colorectal carcinoma at Roswell Park.
−Removed: Up to 25 patients to be enrolled.
−Removed: This is expected to be funded by
−Removed: grants, testing Ampligen and pembrolizumab.
−Removed: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT04119830
−Removed: Melanoma —
−Removed: Phase 2 study that will evaluate polarized dendritic cell vaccine, interferon alpha-2, Ampligen and celecoxib
−Removed: for the treatment of HLA-A2+ refractory melanoma at Roswell Park.
−Removed: Up to 24 patients to be enrolled.
−Removed: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT04093323
−Removed: 4 Urothelial, Melanoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma —
−Removed: Phase 2 study of advanced urothelial (bladder), melanoma and renal cell

−Removed: Protocol design and funding currently being finalized.
−Removed: Cell Lung Cancer —
−Removed: First-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer with SOC chemotherapy that will evaluate Ampligen
−Removed: in combination with pembrolizumab at University of Nebraska Medical Center.
−Removed: Study design and budget being developed.
−Removed: However, we now anticipate an extended delay, as other studies with funding have moved ahead of the Ampligen project.
−Removed: is exploring a pilot study to establish proof of concept.
−Removed: Pancreatic Cancer —
−Removed: Phase 2 study in advanced pancreatic cancer using checkpoint blockade plus Ampligen at University of
−Removed: Nebraska Medical Center and Erasmus University.
−Removed: Protocol and budget being developed.
−Removed: This proposed study may be based on data from
−Removed: our Dutch EAP (see below) and UNMC animal experiment showing synergy between Ampligen and checkpoint therapy.
−Removed: A second confirmatory
−Removed: animal trial has been completed;
−Removed: while it did not replicate the previous survival results, it did demonstrate a significant anti-tumor
−Removed: addition, the National Cancer Institute awarded $14.5 million to Roswell Park to study Ampligen as part of five Roswell Park-led chemokine
−Removed: modulation clinical trials in melanoma, colorectal and ovarian cancers.
−Removed: January 2017, the EAP through our agreement with myTomorrows designed to enable access of Ampligen to ME/CFS patients was extended to
−Removed: pancreatic cancer patients beginning in the Netherlands.
−Removed: myTomorrows is our exclusive service provider in Europe and Turkey and will
−Removed: manage all EAP activities relating to the pancreatic cancer extension of the program.
−Removed: In February 2018, the agreement with myTomorrows
−Removed: was extended to cover Canada to treat pancreatic cancer patients, pending government approval.
−Removed: There have been no physician requests
−Removed: to date that would cause the program to move forward with the approval process.
−Removed: total of 42 pancreatic cancer patients received treatment with Ampligen immuno-oncology therapy under the EAP program at Erasmus MC in
−Removed: the Netherlands.
−Removed: Supervised by Prof.
−Removed: Casper van Eijck, MD, the team at Erasmus MC found a statistically significantly positive survival
−Removed: benefit when using Ampligen in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer after systemic chemotherapy.
−Removed: with our Contract Research Organization, Amarex Clinical Research LLC, to seek FDA “fast-track”
−Removed: and possibly even FDA “breakthrough”
−Removed: designations and to obtain IND authorizations to conduct follow-up pancreatic cancer Phase 2/3 clinical trials with potential sites in
−Removed: the Netherlands at Erasmus MC under Prof.
−Removed: van Eijck, and also at major cancer research centers in the United States.
−Removed: Additionally:
−Removed: December 2020, the FDA granted Ampligen Orphan Drug Designation status for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
−Removed: The Orphan Drug Designation
−Removed: program provides orphan status to drugs and biologics which are defined as those intended for the treatment, prevention or diagnosis
−Removed: of a rare disease or condition, which is one that affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States or meets cost recovery provisions
−Removed: The status helps incentivize the treatment of therapies to treat unmet medical needs by providing a company with seven
−Removed: years of exclusivity rights once a drug reaches market.
−Removed: February 2021, our subsidiary, NV Hemispherx Biopharma Europe, received formal notification from the European Commission (EC) granting
−Removed: Orphan Medicinal Product Designation for Ampligen as a treatment for pancreatic cancer.
−Removed: Orphan products, once commercially approved
−Removed: in the European Union (EU), receive benefits including up to ten years of protection from market competition from similar medicines
−Removed: with similar active component and indication for use that are not shown to be clinically superior.
−Removed: September, we reported receipt of statistically significant results of positive survival benefit when using Ampligen in patients with
−Removed: locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer after systemic chemotherapy versus matched historical controls.
−Removed: Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“ME/CFS”)
−Removed: Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“ME/CFS”), also known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (“CFIDS”)
−Removed: and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”), is a serious and debilitating chronic illness and a major public health problem.
−Removed: is recognized by both the government and private sector as a significant unmet medical need, including the U.S.
−Removed: National Institutes of
−Removed: Health (“NIH”), FDA and the CDC.
−Removed: The CDC states on its website at https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/ that “
−Removed: encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious, long-term illness that affects many body systems.
−Removed: People with ME/CFS
−Removed: are often not able to do their usual activities.
−Removed: At times, ME/CFS may confine them to bed.
−Removed: People with ME/CFS have severe fatigue and
−Removed: sleep problems.
−Removed: ME/CFS may get worse after people with the illness try to do as much as they want or need to do.
−Removed: This symptom is known
−Removed: as post-exertional malaise (PEM).
−Removed: Other symptoms can include problems with thinking and concentrating, pain, and dizziness.
−Removed: severe ME/CFS patients become completely disabled or totally bedridden and are afflicted with severe pain and mental confusion even at
−Removed: ME/CFS is characterized by incapacitating fatigue with profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina, sleep difficulties and problems
−Removed: with concentration and short-term memory.
−Removed: It is also accompanied by flu-like symptoms, pain in the joints and muscles, tender lymph nodes,
−Removed: sore throat and new headaches.
−Removed: A distinctive characteristic of the illness is a worsening of symptoms following physical or mental exertion,
−Removed: which do not subside with rest.
−Removed: October 2016, an analysis of a subset of CFS patients from the AMP-516 Phase 3 study was performed and presented at the International
−Removed: Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (IACFS/ME) annual meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
−Removed: The intent to treat
−Removed: (ITT) Population (n=208) was separated into two subsets based primarily on baseline CFS symptom duration (2-8 years (n=75) and <2
−Removed: years plus >8 years (n=133)).
−Removed: Responder analyses of the ITT Population and both subsets were performed.
−Removed: Responder analyses of Ampligen
−Removed: placebo patients improving exercise tolerance (ET) duration from baseline by ≥25% shows over twice the percentage of patients
−Removed: with clinical enhancement in ET effect in the Ampligen cohort compared to placebo for the 2-8-year subset vs.
−Removed: the ITT population.
−Removed: subset may assist in the design of future clinical studies of Ampligen in the treatment for ME/CFS patients.
−Removed: high number of younger people being hospitalized for COVID-19 suggests considerable numbers of people in the prime of their lives
−Removed: may have a COVID-induced ME/CFS-like illness in their future.
−Removed: According to a 2016 journal article, the estimated annual cost
−Removed: of lost productivity related to ME/CFS was $9-37 billion in the United States, and for direct medical costs it was $9-14 billion.
−Removed: June of 2020, we filed a provisional patent application for, among other discoveries, the use of Ampligen as a potential early-onset
−Removed: therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 induced chronic fatigue.
−Removed: survivors of the first SARS-CoV-1 epidemic in 2003 continued to report chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping and shortness of breath months
−Removed: after recovering from the acute illness.
−Removed: “After one year, 17% of patients had not returned to work and 9% more had not returned
−Removed: to their pre-SARS work levels”
−Removed: (Simmaron Research) .
−Removed: Now there is increasing evidence that patients with COVID-19 can develop
−Removed: a similar, ME/CFS-like illness.
−Removed: These patients are commonly referred to as “Long Haulers.”
−Removed: http://simmaronresearch.com/2020/04/will-covid-19-leave-an-explosion-of-me-cfs-cases-in-its-wake/
−Removed: October 2020, we received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program (EAP) clinical
−Removed: trial for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) to include patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 following
−Removed: clearance of the virus, but who still demonstrate chronic fatigue-like symptoms.
−Removed: November 2, 2020, we announced the publication of statistically significant data detailing how Ampligen could have a considerable positive
−Removed: impact on people living with ME/CFS when administered in the early stages of the disease.
−Removed: The data were published in PLOS ONE ,
−Removed: a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science.
−Removed: AIM researchers found that the TLR3 agonist
−Removed: Ampligen substantially improved physical performance in a subset of ME/CFS patients.
−Removed: the SARS-CoV-1 outbreak in 2002-03, Ampligen exhibited excellent antiviral properties and protective survival effect in NIH-contracted
−Removed: studies of SARS-infected mice, which is very similar to SARS-CoV-2, the novel virus that causes COVID-19.
−Removed: Barnard 2006 study (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/095632020601700505) found that Ampligen reduced virus lung
−Removed: levels to below detectable limits.
−Removed: Day 2009 study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2787736/) found that, instead of 100% mortality, there was 100%
−Removed: protective survival.
−Removed: compared key transcription regulatory sequences of SARS-CoV-1 to SARS-CoV-2 and found significant similarities, suggesting highly probable
−Removed: extension of the antiviral effects of Ampligen in the earlier NIH-contracted SARS experiments to COVID-19.
−Removed: SARS-CoV-2 virus –
−Removed: which causes COVID-19 –
−Removed: shares important genomic and pathogenic similarities with SARS-CoV-1 (hence its
−Removed: Since Ampligen has shown antiviral activity against more distantly related coronaviruses, there was a reasonable probability that
−Removed: the antiviral effects of Ampligen against SARS-CoV-1 will likely extend to SARS-CoV-2, as discussed below, recently, Ampligen has demonstrated
−Removed: in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.
−Removed: We believe that this creates a compelling case for clinical trials to evaluate Ampligen
−Removed: as a potential tool in the fight against COVID-19.
−Removed: the late 2019 outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, we have been actively engaged in determining whether Ampligen could be an effective treatment for
−Removed: this virus or could be part of a vaccine.
−Removed: We believe that Ampligen has the potential to be both an early-onset treatment for and prophylaxis
−Removed: against SARS-Cov-2.
−Removed: We believe that prior studies of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-1 animal experimentation may predict similar protective effects
−Removed: against the new virus.
−Removed: February 2020, we filed three provisional patent applications related to Ampligen in our efforts toward joining the global health community
−Removed: in the fight against the deadly coronavirus (See:
−Removed: https://aimimmuno.com/press-release/aim-immunotech-files-provisional-patent-application-for-the-use-of-ampligenr-as-a-potential-therapy-for-covid-19-induced-chronic-
−Removed: Our three provisional patent applications include:
−Removed: 1) Ampligen as a therapy for the coronavirus;
−Removed: 2) Ampligen as part of a
−Removed: proposed intranasal universal coronavirus vaccine that combines Ampligen with inactivated coronavirus, conveying immunity and cross-protection
−Removed: 3) a high-volume manufacturing process for Ampligen.
−Removed: Under the Patent Cooperation Treaty of 1970, which provides international protections
−Removed: for patents, these three provisional patent applications were converted in to two international patent applications based on the date
−Removed: of their filings.
−Removed: April 1, 2020, we entered into a Material Transfer and Research Agreement (MTA) with Shenzhen Smoore Technology to study the utilization
−Removed: of an innovative Smoore inhalation delivery device and Ampligen as a potential treatment approach for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
−Removed: There have been delays related to importing Ampligen to China.
−Removed: We are working with Smoore to alleviate these issues and to identify
−Removed: a mutually beneficial course of action that would allow us to move forward with the proposed testing of Ampligen.
−Removed: AIM and Smoore
−Removed: signed a two-month extension of the MTA on April 1, 2021 and are working toward agreement on a longer extension.
−Removed: August 6, 2020, we contracted Amarex Clinical Research LLC (“Amarex”) to act as our Clinical Research Organization and provide
−Removed: regulatory support with regard to a clinical trial testing Ampligen’s potential as a COVID-19 prophylaxis via intranasal delivery.
−Removed: Amarex is providing us with monitoring support for our Phase I study with the Centre for Human Drug Research CHDR in The Netherlands.
−Removed: For the subsequent Phase II/III studies we expect to incur clinical trial costs of up to $4-5 million.
−Removed: in April 2020, we entered into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with numerous companies for the potential outsourcing of
−Removed: the production of polymer, enzyme, placebo as well as Ampligen, and one Contract Research Organization, Amarex, which will provide regulatory
−Removed: and monitoring support related to a clinical trial testing Ampligen’s intranasal safety and potential as a COVID-19 prophylaxis
−Removed: via intranasal delivery.
−Removed: addition, we joined with ChinaGoAbroad (CGA) to facilitate the entry of Ampligen into the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for
−Removed: use as a prophylactic/early-onset therapeutic against COVID-19.
−Removed: CGA is a member-based online information platform and offline advisory
−Removed: firm serving to facilitate two-way international transactions relating to the PRC in collaboration with the China Overseas Development
−Removed: Association (CODA).
−Removed: The relationship with ChinaGoAbroad is ongoing.
−Removed: May 11, 2020, the FDA authorized an IND for Roswell Park to conduct a Phase 1/2a study of a regimen of Ampligen and interferon alpha
−Removed: in cancer patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 infections.
−Removed: This new clinical trial, sponsored by the Roswell Park in collaboration
−Removed: with us, will test the safety of this combination regimen in patients with cancer and mild to moderate COVID-19, and the extent to which
−Removed: this therapy will promote clearance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the upper airway.
−Removed: It is planned that the phase 1/2a study will enroll
−Removed: up to 44 patients in two stages.
−Removed: Phase 1 will see 12-24 patients receiving both Ampligen and interferon alfa-2b at escalating doses.
−Removed: Once that initial phase is complete, further study participants will be randomized to two arms:
−Removed: one receiving the two-drug combination
−Removed: and a control group who will not receive Ampligen or interferon alfa but will receive best available care.
−Removed: We intend to be a financial
−Removed: sponsor of the study and will provide Ampligen at no charge for this study.
−Removed: July 6, 2020, we entered into a clinical trial agreement with Roswell Park pursuant to which Roswell Park will conduct a Phase
−Removed: 1/2a trial of Ampligen (rintatolimod) in combination with interferon alfa, in cancer patients with COVID-19, the disease caused
−Removed: by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
−Removed: We and National Cancer Institute are supporting this trial.
−Removed: We reported in September 2020
−Removed: that recruitment in the trial had begun.
−Removed: clinicaltrials.gov/NCT04379518.
−Removed: On November 25, 2020, the first patient in the study
−Removed: had been enrolled and treated.
−Removed: This study was recently amended to add 20 patients, with 10 randomized to receive a single dose
−Removed: of Ampligen and 10 patients to receive current best therapies.
−Removed: also entered into a material transfer agreement with the University of Rochester for a series of in vitro experiments to test the direct
−Removed: antiviral activity of Ampligen on SARS-CoV-2, as well as the mechanism of action.
−Removed: They are currently engaged in experiments with multiple
−Removed: cell lines as they work to establish the study model system.
−Removed: We also entered into a specialized services agreement with Utah State University
−Removed: and have supplied Ampligen to support the University’s Institute for Viral Research in its research into SARS-CoV-2.
−Removed: The Utah State
−Removed: results show that Ampligen was able to decrease SARS-CoV-2 infectious viral yields by 90% at clinically achievable intranasal Ampligen
−Removed: dosage levels.
−Removed: October 6, 2020, we received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program (EAP)
−Removed: clinical trial for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) to include patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2,
−Removed: but who still demonstrate chronic fatigue-like symptoms.
−Removed: Patients in the trial are treated with our flagship pipeline drug Ampligen.
−Removed: On January 6, 2021, we commenced with the treatment of the first previously diagnosed COVID-19 patient with long-COVID symptoms in the
−Removed: AMP-511 study.
−Removed: November 29, 2020, we entered into a Material Transfer and Research Agreement with Leyden Laboratories, B.V., (“Leyden Lab”)
−Removed: to facilitate two proposed studies/research projects:
−Removed: assessment of protective potential of intranasal administration of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-2 Syrian hamster challenge model;
−Removed: assessment of protective potential of intranasal Ampligen in lethal influenza mouse challenge model.
−Removed: January 11, 2021, we entered into a Sponsor Agreement with the Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR), a foundation located in the Leiden
−Removed: in the Netherlands, to manage a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and activity of repeated intranasal administration
−Removed: The study protocol calls for the enrollment of eight healthy subjects in each of four Cohorts to receive Ampligen.
−Removed: two healthy subjects in each Cohort will receive placebo, for a total of 40 healthy subjects.
−Removed: The subjects will receive intranasal dosing
−Removed: every other day for 13 days, for a total of seven doses each.
−Removed: This study will assess the safety, tolerability and biological activity
−Removed: of repeated administration of Ampligen intranasally.
−Removed: The protocol design is for subjects in Cohort 1 to receive 75 μg of Ampligen
−Removed: or a matching placebo, Cohort 2 to receive 200 μg of Ampligen or a matching placebo, Cohort 3 to receive 500 μg of Ampligen or
−Removed: a matching placebo, and Cohort 4 to receive 1250 μg of Ampligen or a matching placebo.
−Removed: We are sponsoring and funding the study.
−Removed: April 2021, dosing of Cohort 2 in the Phase 1 clinical study was completed with no serious adverse events reported, and paving the way
−Removed: for escalation of the dose in Cohort 3.
−Removed: The trial is a critical step in our ongoing efforts to develop Ampligen as a potential prophylaxis
−Removed: or treatment for COVID-19 and other respiratory viral diseases.
−Removed: Europe, the EMA has approved the Orphan Medicinal Products Designation for rintatolimod (Ampligen) as a potential treatment of Ebola
−Removed: virus disease and for Alferon N Injection, also known as interferon alfa-n3, as a potential treatment of MERS.
−Removed: concluded our series of collaborations designed to determine the potential effectiveness of Ampligen and Alferon N as potential preventative
−Removed: and/or therapeutic treatments for Ebola related disorders.
−Removed: Although we believe that the threat of both MERS and Ebola globally may reemerge
−Removed: in the future, it appears that the spread of these disorders has somewhat diminished.
−Removed: As a result, we have elected to focus our research
−Removed: and development efforts on other areas at this time.
−Removed: April 5, 2021, we entered into an MTA with the University of Cagliari Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita e dell’Ambiente (UNICA),
−Removed: an educational institution, under the laws of Italy, located in Monserrato (Cagliari), Italy.
−Removed: The MTA relates to the research and development
−Removed: of the effects of Ampligen and its ability to induce interferon production in several cell lines and also on the ability of the Ebola
−Removed: virus protein VP35 to bind to viral dsRNA and impede interferon’s upregulation and activity, and on Ampligen’s ability to
−Removed: reverse VP35 inhibition of interferon production in biological systems.
−Removed: MANUFACTURING
−Removed: Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnologia Medica (ANMAT) in Argentina approved Ampligen for commercial distribution
−Removed: for the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in 2016.
−Removed: Shipment of the drug product to Argentina was initiated in 2018 to complete
−Removed: the release testing by ANMAT needed for commercial distribution.
−Removed: On September 19, 2019, we received clearance from the FDA to ship Ampligen
−Removed: to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales.
−Removed: On June 10, 2020, we received import clearance from ANMAT to import the
−Removed: first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen to Argentina.
−Removed: We are currently working with GP Pharma on the commercial launch of
−Removed: Ampligen in Argentina See “Our Products;
−Removed: Ampligen”
−Removed: HollisterStier (Jubilant) is our authorized CMO for Ampligen for our approval in Argentina.
−Removed: Since the 2017 engagement of Jubilant to
−Removed: manufacture Ampligen, two lots of Ampligen consisting of more than 16,000 units have been manufactured and released in year 2018.
−Removed: lots have been designated for human use in the US in the cost recovery CFS program and for expanded oncology clinical trials.
−Removed: The production
−Removed: of additional polymer (Ampligen intermediates) took place in 2019 at our New Brunswick facility.
−Removed: Additionally, two lots of Ampligen were
−Removed: manufactured in December 2019 and January 2020 at Jubilant.
−Removed: The current manufactured lots of Ampligen have been fully tested and released
−Removed: for commercial product launch in Argentina and for clinical trials.
−Removed: In addition, we have supplied GP Pharm with the Ampligen required
−Removed: for testing and ANMAT release.
−Removed: Once final approval by ANMAT is obtained, we anticipate that GP Pharm will begin distributing Ampligen
−Removed: in Argentina.
−Removed: December 2020, we added Pharmaceutics International Inc.
−Removed: (“Pii”) as a “Fill & Finish”
−Removed: provider to enhance
−Removed: our capacity to produce the drug Ampligen.
−Removed: This addition amplifies our manufacturing capability by providing redundancy and cost savings.
−Removed: The contracts augment our existing fill and finish capacity.
−Removed: is approved by the FDA for commercial sales in the US for the treatment of genital warts.
−Removed: It is also approved by ANMAT in Argentina for
−Removed: commercial sales for the treatment of genital warts and in patients who are refractory to treatment with recombinant interferons.
−Removed: sales of Alferon in the United States will not resume until new batches of commercial filled and finished product are produced and released
−Removed: While our facility is approved by the FDA under the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Alferon, this status
−Removed: will need to be reaffirmed by an FDA pre-approval inspection.
−Removed: We will also need the FDA’s approval to release commercial product
−Removed: once we have submitted satisfactory stability and quality release data.
−Removed: Currently, the manufacturing process is on hold and there is
−Removed: no definitive timetable to have the facility back online.
−Removed: have reviewed our operations at the New Brunswick facility and determined that some of the equipment should be upgraded to realize greater
−Removed: efficiencies, when and if we require more API than is currently in storage.
−Removed: We are also exploring engaging a Contract Manufacturing Organization
−Removed: (“CMO”) to produce API.
−Removed: While we believe we have sufficient API to meet our current needs, we are also continually exploring
−Removed: new efficiencies so as to maximize our ability to fulfill future obligations.
−Removed: In this regard, on April 5, 2021, we approved a proposal
−Removed: from Polysciences Inc.
−Removed: (“Polysciences”) for the manufacture of our Poly I and Poly C 12 U polynucleotides and associated
−Removed: test methods at Polysciences’
−Removed: Warrington, PA location to enhance our capacity to produce the polymer precursors to the drug Ampligen.
−Removed: We are working with Polysciences to finalize a Service Agreement and a Quality Agreement and will notify the market when those
−Removed: are complete.
−Removed: April 5, 2021, our board of directors approved the exercise of our option to re-purchase the New Brunswick manufacturing facility, pursuant
−Removed: to the terms of the March 16, 2018 sale and lease-back agreement and, thereafter, we sold certain equipment and machinery that
−Removed: we determined to be obsolete and no longer needed for current and future manufacturing.
−Removed: Licensing/Collaborations/Joint
−Removed: maximize the availability of Ampligen to patients on a worldwide basis, we have embarked on a strategy to license the product and/or
−Removed: to collaborate and/or create a joint venture with companies that have the demonstrated capabilities and commitment to successfully gain
−Removed: approval and commercialize Ampligen in their respective territories of the world.
−Removed: Ideal partners would have the following characteristics:
−Removed: well established global and regional experience and coverage, robust commercial infrastructure, strong track record of successful development
−Removed: and registration of in-licensed products, as well as a therapeutic area fit (ME/CFS, immuno-oncology, etc.).
−Removed: MARKETING/DISTRIBUTION
−Removed: May 2016, we entered into a five-year exclusive Renewed Sales, Marketing, Distribution and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”)
−Removed: with GP Pharm.
−Removed: Under this Agreement, GP Pharm was responsible for gaining regulatory approval in Argentina for Ampligen to treat severe
−Removed: CFS in Argentina and for commercializing Ampligen for this indication in Argentina.
−Removed: We granted GP Pharm the right to expand rights to
−Removed: sell this experimental therapeutic into other Latin America countries based upon GP Pharm achieving certain performance milestones.
−Removed: also granted GP Pharm an option to market Alferon N Injection in Argentina and other Latin America countries.
−Removed: See “Our Products;
−Removed: Ampligen”
−Removed: January 2017, the ANMAT granted a five-year extension to a previous approval to sell and distribute Alferon N Injection (under the brand
−Removed: name “Naturaferon”) in Argentina.
−Removed: This extends the approval until 2022.
−Removed: In February 2013, we received the ANMAT approval
−Removed: for the treatment of refractory patients that failed or were intolerant to treatment with recombinant interferon, with Naturaferon in
−Removed: May 2016, we entered into a five-year agreement (the “Impatients Agreement”) with Impatients, N.V.
−Removed: (“myTomorrows”),
−Removed: a Netherlands based company, for the commencement and management of an EAP in Europe and Turkey (the “Territory”) related
−Removed: Pursuant to the agreement, myTomorrows, as our exclusive service provider and distributor in the Territory, is performing
−Removed: EAP activities.
−Removed: These activities will be directed to (a) the education of physicians and patients regarding the possibility of early
−Removed: access to innovative medical treatments not yet the subject of a Marketing Authorization (regulatory approval) through named-patient
−Removed: use, compassionate use, expanded access and hospital exemption, (b) patient and physician outreach related to a patient-physician platform,
−Removed: (c) the securing of Early Access Approvals (exemptions and/or waivers required by regulatory authorities for medical treatments prior
−Removed: to Marketing Authorization) for the use of such treatments, (d) the distribution and sale of such treatments pursuant to such Early Access
−Removed: Approvals, (e) pharmacovigilance (drug safety) activities and/or (f) the collection of data such as patient-reported outcomes, doctor-reported
−Removed: experiences and registry data.
−Removed: We are supporting these efforts and supplying Ampligen to myTomorrows at a predetermined transfer price.
−Removed: In the event that we receive Marketing Authorization in any country in the Territory, we will pay myTomorrows a royalty on products sold.
−Removed: Pursuant to the Impatients Agreement, the royalty would be a percentage of Net Sales (as defined in the Impatients Agreement) of Ampligen
−Removed: sold in the Territory where Marketing Authorization was obtained, and the maximum royalty would be a percentage of Net Sales.
−Removed: to determine the percentage of Net Sales will be based on the number of patients that are entered into the EAP.
−Removed: We believe that disclosure
−Removed: of the exact maximum royalty rate and royalty termination date could cause competitive harm.
−Removed: However, to assist the public in gauging
−Removed: these terms, the actual maximum royalty rate is somewhere between 2% and 10% and the royalty termination date is somewhere between five
−Removed: and fifteen years from the First Commercial Sale of a product within a specific country.
−Removed: The parties established a Joint Steering Committee
−Removed: comprised of representatives of both parties to oversee the EAP.
−Removed: No assurance can be given that activities under the EAP will result
−Removed: in Marketing Authorization or the sale of substantial amounts of Ampligen in the Territory.
−Removed: January 2017, the EAP through our agreement with myTomorrows designed to enable access of Ampligen to ME/CFS patients has been extended
−Removed: to pancreatic cancer patients beginning in the Netherlands.
−Removed: myTomorrows is our exclusive service provider in the Territory and will manage
−Removed: all EAP activities relating to the pancreatic cancer extension of the program.
−Removed: February 2018, we signed an amendment to the EAP with myTomorrows.
−Removed: This amendment extended the territory to cover Canada to treat pancreatic
−Removed: cancer patients, pending government approval.
−Removed: March 2018, we signed an amendment to the EAP with myTomorrows, pursuant to which myTomorrows will be our exclusive service provider
−Removed: for special access activities in Canada for the supply of Ampligen for the treatment of ME/CFS.
−Removed: December 2020, we entered into a signed Letter of Agreement with myTomorrows for the delivery of Ampligen for the treatment of up to
−Removed: 16 pancreatic cancer patients.
−Removed: August 2017, we extended our agreement with Asembia LLC, formerly Armada Healthcare, LLC, to undertake the marketing, education and sales
−Removed: of Alferon N Injection throughout the United States.
−Removed: We are currently exploring an expansion of this relationship.
−Removed: participant immediately vests in his or her deferred salary contributions, while our contributions will vest over one year.

−Removed: OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: months ended March 31, 2021 versus three months ended March 31, 2020
−Removed: net loss was approximately $3,579,000 and $3,808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing
−Removed: a decrease in loss of approximately $229,000 or 6%.
−Removed: This decrease in loss was primarily due to the following:
−Removed: increase in research and development expenses of $526,000;
−Removed: increase in production costs of $33,000;
−Removed: increase of $145,000 from the 2020 quarterly reevaluation of certain redeemable warrants;
−Removed: increase in income tax operating tax of $181,000;
−Removed: decrease in revenue of $17,000;
−Removed: decrease in selling, general and administrative cost of $156,000;
−Removed: decrease in interest expense and other finance cost of $272,000;
−Removed: increase in interest income of $51,000.
−Removed: loss per share was $(0.08) and $(0.22) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
−Removed: The weighted average
−Removed: number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021 was 45,726,855 as compared to 17,490,322 as of March 31,
−Removed: from our Ampligen®
−Removed: Cost Recovery Program were $28,000 and $45,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
−Removed: There was a decrease in revenues of $17,000.
−Removed: The change in revenue is related to timing of orders and shipments in the three months ending
−Removed: March 31, 2020.
−Removed: The revenue was generated from the EAP and our FDA approved open-label treatment protocol, (“AMP 511”), that
−Removed: allows patient access to Ampligen®
−Removed: for treatment in an open-label safety study.
−Removed: costs were approximately $237,000 and $204,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, representing
−Removed: an increase of $33,000 in production costs in the current period.
−Removed: These costs primarily represent production expenses related to increased
−Removed: roof maintenance in the three months ending March 31, 2021
−Removed: and Development Costs
−Removed: and Development (“R&D”) costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were approximately $1,424,000 as compared to
−Removed: $898,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 reflecting an increase of approximately $526,000 or 59%.
−Removed: The reason for the increase
−Removed: in research and development costs was due to increases in clinical expenses of $695,000, maintenance and engineering of $16,000 offset
−Removed: by decreases in Ampligen compliance and stability of $168,000 and clinical research of $19,000 and cost recovery of $10,000.
−Removed: and Administrative Expenses
−Removed: and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $2,112,000
−Removed: and $2,268,000, respectively, reflecting a decrease of approximately $156,000 or 7%.
−Removed: The decrease in G&A expenses during the current
−Removed: period was mainly due to a decrease in salaries, benefits and other compensation of $141,000, public relations of $54,000 and professional
−Removed: fees of $24,000, offset by increases in insurance of $35,000 and taxes of $45,000.
−Removed: income increased $51,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, driven by
−Removed: the increase in investments from the proceeds from stock sales.
−Removed: Expense and Other Finance Costs
−Removed: and other finance costs decreased $272,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 mostly due to the costs associated with the
−Removed: long-term debt which were in effect in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
−Removed: The long-term debt was extinguished in the second
−Removed: quarter of 2020.
−Removed: quarterly revaluation of certain redeemable warrants resulted in a non-cash adjustment to the redeemable warrants liability for the three
−Removed: months ended March 31, 2021 which amounted to a loss of approximately $37,000 compared to a loss of $182,000 for March 31,
−Removed: 2020 (see Note 12:
−Removed: Fair Value - for the various factors considered in the valuation of redeemable warrants).
−Removed: Tax Operating Losses
−Removed: quarterly income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to a gain of approximately $181,000 due primarily
−Removed: to the provision of the 2020 New Jersey NOL.
−Removed: and Capital Resources
−Removed: of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $63,601,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020,
−Removed: we had approximately $54,378,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
−Removed: Cash used in operating activities for the
−Removed: three months ended March 31, 2021 was $3,045,000 compared to $3,250,000.
−Removed: The primary reasons for the decrease was the increase
−Removed: in accounts payable offset by increased other receivables.
−Removed: used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $523,000 compared to $3,683,000 for the same
−Removed: period in 2020, representing a decrease of $3,160,000.
−Removed: The primary reason for the decrease during the current period is the purchase
−Removed: of marketable securities of $1,151,000 offset by the sale of marketable securities of $2,039,000.
−Removed: provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $12,794,000 compared to approximately
−Removed: $25,687,000 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $12,891,000.
−Removed: The primary reason for the decrease in the three months ended
−Removed: March 31, 2021 is our receipt of net proceeds of approximately $12,887,000 from the sale common stock pursuant to our 2019 EDA
−Removed: with Maxim Group compared to $25,773,000 for the same period in 2020.
−Removed: August 6, 2020, we contracted Amarex to act as our Clinical Research Organization and provide regulatory support with regard to
−Removed: a clinical trial testing Ampligen’s potential as a COVID-19 prophylaxis via intranasal delivery.
−Removed: For Phase I we anticipate
−Removed: providing approximately $514,000 to Amarex.
−Removed: In Phase II we anticipate providing approximately an additional $650,000.
−Removed: “Covid-19”
−Removed: are committed to a focused business plan oriented toward finding senior co-development partners with the capital and expertise needed
−Removed: to commercialize the many potential therapeutic aspects of our experimental drugs and our FDA approved drug Alferon.
−Removed: development of our products requires the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time-consuming research, preclinical
−Removed: development and clinical trials that are necessary to bring pharmaceutical products to market.
−Removed: We believe, based on our current
−Removed: financial condition, that we have adequate funds to meet our anticipated operational cash needs and fund current clinical trials
−Removed: over approximately the next twenty-four months.
−Removed: At present we do not generate any material revenues from operations, and
−Removed: we do not anticipate doing so in the near future.
−Removed: We may need to obtain additional funding in the future for new studies and/or
−Removed: if current studies do not yield positive results, require unanticipated changes and/or additional studies.
−Removed: If we are unable to
−Removed: commercialize and sell Ampligen and/or recommence material sales of Alferon N Injection, our operations, financial position and
−Removed: liquidity may be adversely impacted, and additional financing may be required.
−Removed: There can be no assurances that, if needed, we
−Removed: will be able to raise adequate funds or enter into licensing, partnering or other arrangements to advance our business goals.
−Removed: We may seek to access the public equity market whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for
−Removed: additional capital at that time.
−Removed: We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of outstanding common
−Removed: stock or instruments convertible into or exercisable for our common stock.
−Removed: Any additional funding may result in significant dilution
−Removed: and could involve the issuance of securities with rights, which are senior to those of existing stockholders.
−Removed: proceeds from our financings have been used to fund infrastructure growth including manufacturing, regulatory compliance and market development
−Removed: along with our efforts regarding the Ampligen manufacturing, Ampligen NDA.
