- COVID-19 Treatment Uncertainty: No assurance can be given that the company's drug, Ampligen, will be effective in treating COVID-19 in humans, despite animal model results. Human clinical trials are required to prove efficacy.
- Clinical Trial Delays: Ongoing immuno-oncology trials may face delays in enrollment and reporting due to the prioritization of the pandemic at medical institutions.
- Operational Risks: Trials may fail to initiate or yield useful data due to lack of regulatory approval, lack of study drug, or changes in institutional priorities.
- Competitive Landscape: Major pharmaceutical companies are racing to find COVID-19 treatments; even if Ampligen is effective, it may not be prioritized or could be rendered unproductive by competing treatments.
- International Operations: Foreign operations carry risks regarding the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
