The company is working towards submitting an investigational new drug (IND) application to the Food and Drug Administration for a Phase II controlled trial of Ampligen given for 12 weeks to treat post-Covid conditions. 

Ampligen modulates the immune system and has shown antiviral activity.

AIM ImmunoTech CEO Thomas Equels said: “The positive preliminary data demonstrated in this pilot study bolsters our confidence in the potential of Ampligen as we continue to drive its development as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of long Covid. 

“With the positive preliminary results demonstrated to date we remain, now more than ever, steadfast in our mission to bring an effective therapeutic option to those in need.”
