Enrollment initiated in Ph 2 Trial of Ampligen® (rintatolimod) in Primary PD-1/PD-L1 Resistant Melanoma
“The start of this NCI-funded clinical trial marks an important milestone for our Melanoma R&D program. Despite recent successes of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced-stage disease, only a minority of treated melanoma patients have a durable benefit, reinforcing the need to develop second-line therapies that are effective against checkpoint-refractory disease. Based on the data seen to-date, we believe Ampligen, in combination with Roswell’s polarized dendritic cell vaccine plus interferon, has an opportunity to fill this gap and potentially provide clinical benefit to melanoma patients in need,” commented AIM Chief Executive Officer Thomas K. Equels.

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
