For the second installment in our clinical diagnostics and treatments webinar series, Solve M.E. welcomes two leaders from bio-pharma company AIM ImmunoTech to discuss their plans for clinical studies of their investigational drug Ampligen, in ME\/CFS and Long Covid. In addition, Drs. Lapp and Gottschalk will share insights from real-world use of Ampligen to treat patients with ME\/CFS and Long Covid.<\/p>\n

Ampligen (Rintatolimod), is a drug that modulates the immune system and has anti-viral activity. It has been studied in clinical trials since the late 1980s, and although it has been endorsed by countries outside the USA specifically for treating people with ME\/CFS, it does not have FDA approval. AIM has recently updated its plans for developing the drug in ME\/CFS and Long Covid.<\/p>\n

The application of Ampligen for both diseases is yet another example of how ME\/CFS research can benefit people with ME\/CFS and Long Covid, and why the study of both is crucial to each community.<\/p>\n

Join Solve President and CEO Oved Amitay in conversation with Thomas K. Equels, M.S., J.D. (Chief Executive Officer, AIM), and David R. Strayer, M.D (Chief Scientific & Medical Officer, AIM) to learn more about their plans for Ampligen and how the community may get involved. Dr. Charles Lapp (Medical Director, Hunter-Hopkins Center) will discuss his use of Ampligen as a treatment for both ME\/CFS and Long Covid, and Dr. Gunnar Gottschalk (Executive Director\/PI, Simmaron Research Inc), will share data on the use of Ampligen in people with ME\/CFS.<\/p>\n
