Item 8.01 Other Events.
AIM’s drug Ampligen was featured in a recent publication of data in the peer-reviewed medical journal Cancers as a potential treatment option for cancer patients who are infected with SARS-CoV-2. The study’s authors include Prof. C.H.J. van Eijck, MD, PhD, the lead investigator for an Early Access Program at Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, where Ampligen is being use to treat patients with late-stage pancreatic cancer.
Additionally, AIM was previously granted a patent by the Netherlands. The granted claim includes, but is not limited to, the use of Ampligen as a combination cancer therapy with checkpoint blockade inhibitors (e.g. pembrolizumab, nivolumab). The patent expires December 19, 2039, or 20 years from the date of filing, December 20, 2019.
For more information, please see our press release dated June 14, 2021, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
