AIM ImmunoTech Receives Erasmus Medical Center Ethics Board
Authorization for Phase 2 Study of Ampligen® for the Treatment of
Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American:
AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today announced that it
has received authorization from the Erasmus Medical Center
(“Erasmus MC”) Ethics Committee to open a European site for the
ongoing Phase 2 study (“AMP-270”) of Ampligen as a therapy for
locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
“Approval from the governing ethics board is an
important step toward enrolling subjects in the European arm of the
AMP-270 clinical trial for locally advanced pancreatic cancer,”
stated Prof. Casper H.J. van Eijck, MD, PhD, Pancreato-biliary
Surgeon at Erasmus MC in the Netherlands. “Erasmus MC is tracking
several cancer patients that we are hopeful will be enrolled in
AMP-270.”
AMP-270 is a randomized, open-label, controlled,
parallel-arm clinical trial with the primary objective of comparing
the efficacy of Ampligen versus a no treatment control group
following FOLFIRINOX for subjects with locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma. Secondary objectives include comparing safety and
tolerability. AMP-270 is expected to enroll approximately 90
subjects in the United States and Europe.
