Positive Year-End Interim Clinical Progress from Ph 2 Study of Ampligen – Imfinzi Combo in Pancreatic Cancer Reported
AIM CEO Thomas K. Equels states: “We know all too well that metastatic pancreatic cancer is a killer. Ampligen has the potential to be a gamechanger in the treatment of this highly lethal and unmet oncological need. Quality of life for pancreatic cancer patients is extremely painful and subject to co-morbidities due to the tumor-induced immune suppressive state. Additionally, other metastatic pancreatic cancer chemotherapies and immunotherapies typically have harsh side effects. However, Erasmus has informed us that the pancreatic cancer patients who received Ampligen have reported meaningful improvements in their quality of life. This data sharply focuses our aim on late-stage pancreatic cancers, which killed more than 100,000 people in the American and European Union markets and more than 450,000 people worldwide as recently as 2022. I do not believe there is any other therapeutic in this stage of the pipeline that is producing these types of survival results combined with improvement in quality of life.”
