Proposed text:
Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and engaged in the clinical development of new drug therapies based on natural immune system enhancing technologies for the treatment of viral and immune based disorders. Hemispherx first formed in 1966 and in the early 1970s was doing contract research for the National Institutes of Health. Since then, Hemispherx has established a strong foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of natural interferon and nucleic acids to enhance the natural antiviral defense system of the human body and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of certain chronic diseases.
Hemispherx’s flagship products include Alferon N Injection® and the experimental therapeutic Ampligen®.
Alferon N Injection® is approved in the United States for a category of STD infection, and Ampligen® represents an experimental RNA being developed for globally important viral diseases and disorders of the immune system. Hemispherx' platform technology includes components for potential treatment of various severely debilitating and life threatening diseases. Alferon® LDO (Low Dose Oral) is a formulation under development targeting influenza.
Alferon N Injection® has also received approval in Argentina (pending brand name “Naturaferon”) for use in any patients who fail or become intolerant to recombinant interferon, including patients with chronic active hepatitis C infection.
Ampligen® is in late stage clinical trials in the United States and has received approval from Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnologia Medica (ANMAT) for commercial sale of rintatolimod (U.S. tradename: Ampligen®, proposed tradename for Argentina: Rintamod®) in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
GP Pharm Latinoamerica, an affiliate company of Spanish GP Pharm SA, is Hemispherx’s exclusive commercial partner for Ampligen and Alferon N Injection in Argentina and other possible Latin America countries.
Hemispherx has worldwide patents comprising its core intellectual property estate.
Hemispherx wholly owns and exclusively operates a GMP certified manufacturing facility in the United States for commercial products.
