OCALA, Fla., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today announced that data were published on Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Phase 1 study evaluating AIM ImmunoTech’s drug Ampligen^® (also known as rintatolimod) as a component of a chemokine-modulating (CKM) regimen in early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Results of the study were reported in The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer.

“We are very excited with these promising results from our study of a new treatment combination for patients with this most highly aggressive form of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer,” said study principal investigator Shipra Gandhi, MD, Associate Professor of Oncology and staff physician in the Department of Medicine at Roswell Comprehensive Cancer Center. “Because this initial study was in a small number of patients, it will be important to validate these findings in a larger study.”

For more information on the data reported, please visit Roswell Park’s website to read its press release titled, “Roswell Park Clinical Trial Points Toward Promising New Therapy for Most Aggressive Type of Breast Cancer.”

AIM CEO Thomas K. Equels stated: “The results of this pilot study suggest that the Ampligen-containing chemokine modulation regimen is capable of modifying the tumor microenvironment and releasing cytokines that attract killer T-cells into the early-stage triple-negative breast cancer tumor. These data are similar to those we have seen with Ampligen previously in late-stage TNBC, advanced recurrent ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. We look forward to collaborating with Roswell Park as this study advances to Phase 2. We believe in the power of Ampligen to work in conjunction with a variety of chemotherapy regimens and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors.”
