OCALA, Fla., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE:AIM) ("AIM" or the "Company") today announced the publication of new pre-clinical data concerning the company's drug Ampligen as part of a combinational therapy in the treatment of melanoma, showing that combination dendritic cell-based vaccines including anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors and Ampligen-containing chemokine modulation helped slow tumor cell growth and improved survival in a mouse model.
"Therapeutic Anti-Tumor Efficacy of DC-Based Vaccines Targeting TME-Associated Antigens is Improved When Combined with a Chemokine-Modulating Regimen and/or Anti-PD-L1" was published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccines.
AIM Medical Officer David Strayer, MD, stated: "This new pre-clinical data further demonstrates Ampligen's therapeutic potential when used with dendritic-cell vaccines, with anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors, or in combination with both. The data supports AIM's belief that we are on the right path in our ongoing development of Ampligen as an anti-tumor therapy."
