  • The AP-013 study was paused in early 2020 because of the pandemic, and the FDA provided Ampio with guidance.
  • The FDA recommended identifying subject information impacted by the pandemic during the AP-013 study and conduct a sensitivity analysis to detect potential biases related to the pandemic. The Company completed a top-line analysis and performed the FDA-recommended sensitivity analysis. 
  • The resulting data demonstrate a statistically significant impact from the pandemic. 
  • A separate statistical analysis of data from the 725 patients believed not to have been impacted by the pandemic demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain and improved function at 12 weeks with Ampion treatment compared to saline control.  
  • Ampio plans to analyze and consolidate all the study data and present it to the FDA in support of a marketing application.
  • On the safety front, no treatment-related serious adverse events were observed among the cohort of patients who received Ampion.
  • In June, Ampio reported newly integrated data from four of its earlier clinical trials with OAK patients.
  • The pooled data showed statistical significance, with a reduction in pain of 34.3% at two weeks (compared to 28.6% for saline), 38.1% at ten weeks (30.4% for saline), and 36% at twelve weeks (25.7% for saline).
