History
The company's logo when it was named Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc.

The company has created an immunomodulatory double stranded RNA drug called Ampligen.[4] The company is developing Ampligen to use as a treatment for multiple cancer tumor types and for chronic fatigue syndrome.[5]

On April 3, 2001, Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. adjusted and restated its 1999 financial statements to reflect charges relating to an extension of the exercise period to certain warrants as of February 1999.

On April 3, 2006, Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. restated financial results for 2003 and 2004 due to accounting mistakes related to debentures and warrants issued between March 2003 and August 2005.[6]

In June, 2018, Hemispherx announced that Ampligen had shown effectiveness in activating the TLR3 without triggering T-cell regulatory activities, offering a potentially effective way to treat tumors.[7]

As of June 2019, Hemispherx is operating 5 studies examining the viability of Ampligen for combating Ovarian cancer, to which end it has also raised tens of millions of dollars in shareholder capital.[8]

On September 3, 2019, Hemispherx Biopharma was renamed to AIM Immunotech.[9]

On March 12, 2020, Hemispherx Biopharma announced that they were testing a possible treatment for the novel coronavirus, the virus believed to cause the symptoms of COVID-19.

gollark: Or forcing people to memorize useless information they will never need so that they can remember it for long enough to write down the right bits in an exam so that someone can say that they Know™ this subject... oh wait.
gollark: Also, universities are horribly expensive in the UK, even though meanwhile on the other side of the Scottish border they manage to provide free tuition, which is, er, bad.
gollark: So could most things.
gollark: As someone in the school system, I don't like it.
