AIM ImmunoTech Announces First Dose Level is Generally
Well-Tolerated in Phase 1b/2 Study of Ampligen and Imfinzi as a
Combination Therapy for Late-Stage Pancreatic Cancer
AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American:
AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today announced that it
has taken an essential step forward in testing the combination of
AIM’s Ampligen® (rintatolimod) and AstraZeneca’s anti-PD-L1 immune
checkpoint inhibitor Imfinzi® (durvalumab) in the treatment of
late-stage pancreatic cancer (the “DURIPANC” study). See:
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05927142.
Investigators at Erasmus Medical Center ("Erasmus MC") in the
Netherlands have completed the safety evaluation of patients
enrolled in the first dose level of the dose escalation design in
the Phase 1b/2 study. The combination of Ampligen and Imfinzi
was found to be generally well-tolerated with no severe adverse
events (“SAE”) or dose-limiting toxicities (“DLT”).
Based on these positive results, escalation to the next dose
will occur according to protocol design and AIM expects the
next cohort of patients to begin dosing very soon. Subjects will be
in treatment for up to 48 weeks, or until confirmed disease
progression or another discontinuation criterion is met. They will
be monitored for response according to Response Evaluation Criteria
in Solid Tumors (“RECIST 1.1”).

between AIM, AstraZeneca and Erasmus MC.
