OCALA, Fla., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted U.S. patent No. 12,102,649, covering both compositions and methods comprising the Company’s drug Ampligen® in the treatment of endometriosis, a painful chronic condition that affects nearly 10% of women of reproductive age, or approximately 6.5 million women in the United States. Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and making it difficult or impossible to become pregnant. It can cause inflammation and infertility, and symptoms such as intense menstrual cramps, severe pelvic pain and chronic fatigue, all of which can significantly impact quality of life. Despite its prevalence, treatment options are limited, and many women experience years of misdiagnosis. The patented method involves the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing AIM’s proprietary double-stranded RNA products. The patent’s claims describe a unique class of therapeutic double-stranded RNAs (e.g., tdsRNA, Ampligen®, rugged dsRNA) which are key components in these potentially groundbreaking treatment methods and compositions. The versatile administration options offer flexibility for patient-specific needs and care. The patent also covers treatments targeting recurrent endometriosis and includes options for co-administration with interferons, including well-known types such as alpha and beta interferons. Patients with endometriosis also are at more than four times the risk of developing ovarian cancer than are people without endometriosis, according to a recent article in JAMA. As we have previously announced, Ampligen has also shown positive results as part of a combination therapy in the treatment of advanced recurrent ovarian cancer.

Effective treatment now involves some form of estrogen deprivation or surgery, both of which have serious side effects and fertility risks themselves. A medical therapy that relieves symptoms and abates the inflammatory response would be a significant breakthrough in treatment options. At UPMC we have conducted an extensive clinical evaluation of Ampligen in recurrent ovarian cancer with positive results. Ampligen’s safety profile is well developed and Ampligen has been generally well tolerated.” AIM Chief Executive Officer Thomas K. Equels commented, "This patent is a significant milestone for AIM, not only strengthening our intellectual property portfolio, but also expanding our potential to provide life-changing therapies for women suffering from endometriosis. With the global focus on women's health, we are excited about the possibilities this new treatment presents. At AIM, our goal is to make a difference by improving the quality of life for women suffering from endometriosis." About AIM ImmunoTech Inc.
