AIM ImmunoTech Announces Ethics Committee Approval to Commence Phase 1 Clinical Study of Ampligen as an Intranasal Therapy

-

 February 16, 2021 09:15 ET

OCALA, Fla., Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) today announced that it has received approval from the required Ethics Committee in the Netherlands to commence its Phase 1 clinical study on the safety of AIM’s drug Ampligen as an intranasal therapy, a critical step in the company’s ongoing efforts to develop Ampligen as a potential prophylaxis or treatment for COVID-19 and other respiratory viral diseases.

Earlier this year, the company announced that it had entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) for the proposed AMP-COV-100 (CHDR2049) trial. Last week, approval was received from the Dutch local Ethics Committee, clearing the road for execution of the trial.

The current study plans call for the enrollment of eight healthy subjects in each of four Ampligen treatment groups and eight placebo subjects, for a total of 40 healthy subjects. This will assess the safety, tolerability and biological activity of repeated administration of Ampligen intranasally. The subjects will receive intranasal dosing every other day for 13 days, for a total of seven doses each. AIM is funding the clinical study.

“We are delighted and honored to receive Ethics Committee approval, an important step toward initiation of the trial,” said AIM CEO Thomas K. Equels. “We are on track for site initiation later this month and expect to begin enrolling participants in the study during the first quarter of 2021. Importantly, our prior in vitro modeling at The Institute for Antiviral Research at Utah State University demonstrated that Ampligen was able to decrease SARS-CoV-2 infectious viral yields by 90% at clinically achievable intranasal Ampligen dosage concentrations. As a result, we are highly encouraged by the potential of an intranasal prophylactic approach using Ampligen to prevent infection and spread of COVID-19 and are excited to commence safety tests of potential dosing regimens.”

Dr. Matthijs Moerland, principal investigator at CHDR: “We’re very happy helping AIM with this important step. Together with AIM’s study team, we feel we have not only designed a trial evaluating Ampligen’s intranasal safety profile, but also yielding important mechanistic data on the compound’s immunomodulatory activities.”

  HHV-6A infection induces expression of HERV-K18-encoded superantigen Albert K. Taia, Janos Lukab, Dharam Ablashi, Brigitte T. Huber published online 08 June 2009. Abstract Background The human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) encodes a superantigen that causes deregulation of the immune system. This provirus is transcriptionally silent, but can be induced by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and IFN-α treatment. Objectives Since the herpesvirus EBV induces HERV-K18 expression in human B cells, it was of interest to determine if other herpesviruses would have similar HERV-K18 transactivation properties. Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6A, a neurotropic virus associated with multiple sclerosis, was a logical candidate for these studies. Study design HSB2 cells (HHV-6-negative control), HSB2-ML cells (containing latent HHV-6A genome) and HSB2/HHV-6A cells (HSB-2 cells productively infected with HHV-6A) were compared for their level of HERV-K18 transcription, using quantitative RT...

A Perplexity conversation about self-deceit, conspiracy, Arendt and AIDS

-
  Discuss the confusion between the appearance of conspiracy and self-deceit, and how self-deceit in government leaders creates the appearance of conspiracy. Self-deceit in government leaders can powerfully create the appearance of conspiracy, even when there is no coordinated secret plot. When leaders convince themselves of the righteousness or effectiveness of their own policies, they may unconsciously deny evidence of harm, ignore ethical contradictions, or adopt comforting narratives rather than confront uncomfortable truths. Other observers, detecting this disconnect between official statements and lived reality, may then perceive hidden motives, deliberate cover-ups, or coordinated deception—classic ingredients of conspiracy suspicions—even if the real dynamic is psychological denial and bureaucratic inertia. ​ This confusion arises because self-deceit can mimic true conspiracy: it generates secrecy, ritualized language, and the concealment of damaging realities, not by inten...

Geographic Variation in Human Herpesvirus 8 Seroprevalence and Possible Association with Exposure to Bites from Blood-Sucking Arthropods https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/194/3/401/903489 What's an Arbovirus? Arbovirus is an informal name used to refer to any viruses that are transmitted by arthropod vectors . The word arbovirus is an acronym ( ar thropod- bo rne virus ). [1] The word tibovirus ( ti ck- bo rne virus ) is sometimes used to more specifically describe viruses transmitted by ticks , a superorder within the arthropods. [2] Arboviruses can affect both animals (including humans) and plants. In humans, symptoms of arbovirus infection generally occur 3–15 days after exposure to the virus and last three or four days. The most common clinical features of infection are fever , headache , and malaise , but encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever may also occur. [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbovirus

The Harvard scholar who tried to blow the whistle

-
The Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud and Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up might have been exposed years ago if this Harvard scholar had been listened to. http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/index/jlauritsen.htm If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications: 1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money. 2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are clearly the results of the ravages of HHV-6. 3. AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been artificially and politically separated into two epidemics. We are living in a period of CFS/AIDS apartheid. So-called AIDS patients have to sit in the back of the HHV-6 epidemic bus while the befuddled HHV-6/CFS pati...

Perplexity on Rebecca Culshaw Smith, and PrEP as Genocide

-
  Rebecca Culshaw’s Substack articles establish a foundation for arguing that the mass promotion and use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) in HIV prevention could be considered a form of “genocide,” rooted in several lines of critique that challenge both the scientific and ethical underpinnings of the intervention. ​ Critique of Efficacy Claims Culshaw repeatedly questions the reliability of the efficacy data cited for PrEP, especially the widely publicized claim of “99% effectiveness.” She critiques the primary studies behind this figure, particularly the UK “Impact Trial,” highlighting that its actual observed efficacy was only 86%, and that even this figure is derived from retrospective, less scientifically rigorous analysis. She emphasizes that PrEP, to justify the aggressive and potentially coercive marketing campaigns behind it, should meet a much higher bar of evidence given its target population often consists of healthy individuals.

If the establishment decides that the nosology of AIDS is wrong and HIV is not the cause of AIDS could that be considered a Black Swan event?

 From Perplexity A.I.  If the establishment decides that the nosology of AIDS is wrong and HIV is not the cause of AIDS could that be considered a Black Swan event? If the scientific establishment were to fundamentally revise the current understanding of AIDS and declare that HIV is not the cause, this would indeed constitute a Black Swan event—an extremely rare, unpredictable, and highly consequential occurrence that dramatically alters conventional wisdom and scientific consensus. A Black Swan event is defined by its rarity, profound impact, and the tendency for people to rationalize it retrospectively as if it could have been expected. The current scientific consensus, established in the late 1980s and reinforced by overwhelming evidence, is that HIV is the causative agent of AIDS. This consensus is based on decades of research, clinical experience, and the effectiveness of HIV-targeting treatments. If the establishment were to reverse this consensus, it would be unpreceden...
