1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 
 
STATEMENT OF INTENT 
The design, conduct and reporting of this study shall be conducted in compliance with the protocol, 
International Conference on Harmonization/Good Clinical Practice (ICH/GCP), and all 
appropriate regulatory requirements. Investigator(s) participating in this study will have 
documented training in GCP. Independent monitoring of the trial will be accomplished utilizing a 
Contract Research Organization (CRO). 
 
BACKGROUND OF THE COVID-19 DISEASE 
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the viral cause of coronavirus 
disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in late 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. On 
11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a global pandemic. The global 
burden of SARS CoV-2 infection continues to increase with estimates of more than 200 million 
people infected and over four million deaths as of September 2021. 
While some individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 may be asymptomatic, many people display 
symptomatic disease varying from mild to critical in severity. Severe-to-critical illness is typically 
marked by hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support. Morbidity and mortality 
rates are elevated among patients with pre-existing co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease, 
diabetes mellitus, chronic respiratory disease, hypertension and cancer. The observed case fatality 
ratio (CFR) varies considerably from country to country and over time. However, the CFR in the 
USA has been estimated at 2.8%. While public discourse on COVID-19 has largely centered 
around patients with severe or fatal illness, it has become apparent that a growing number of 
patients experience mild to moderate symptoms for a prolonged period of time. 
Patients and survivors of COVID-19 from the Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group created and 
analyzed a survey targeted at patients experiencing symptoms for over two weeks. Responses from 
640 
patients 
were 
collected 
between 
April 
21 
and 
May 
2, 
2020 
(https://patientresearchcovid19.com/research/report-1/). 
Key findings were symptoms are not limited to cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Other widely 
reported symptoms span neurological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and other systems and 
include fatigue (reported by 81.3% of respondents), chills/sweats (75.9%), body aches (73.9%), 
headache (72.2%), brain fog and concentration issues (68.6%), gastrointestinal issues (66.9%), 
trouble sleeping (66.1%), and dizziness (60.6%). An elevated temperature under 100.1°F was 
reported by 72.2% of respondents while a fever over 100.1°F was reported by only 47.8% of 
respondents. The other key finding was recovery is volatile, includes relapses, and can take six or 
more weeks. At the time respondents took the survey, 90.6% reported not being recovered and 
were, on average, on day 40 of experiencing symptoms. 89% of respondents said that their 
symptoms fluctuated in intensity and frequency, and 70% reported new symptoms appearing at

different stages of their illness. Based on textual responses and anecdotes from the support group, 
patients may feel better for days or weeks only to relapse into old or new symptoms soon after. 
1.2.1. Post-COVID Conditions 
The abundance of symptoms described above have now been narrowed and characterized by the 
CDC as nineteen Post-COVID Conditions [Post-COVID Conditions CDC].  Although most people 
with COVID-19 get better within weeks of illness, some people continue to experience these post-
COVID conditions. Post-COVID conditions are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health 
problems people can experience four or more weeks after first being infected with the virus that 
causes COVID-19. Even people who did not experience COVID-19 symptoms in the days or 
weeks after they were infected can have post-COVID conditions.  
These conditions can present as various types and combinations of health problems for different 
lengths of time. Unlike some of the other types of post-COVID conditions that tend only to occur 
in people who have had severe illness, these symptoms can happen to anyone who has had COVID-
19, even if the illness was mild, or if they had no initial symptoms. People commonly report 
experiencing different combinations of the following symptoms: 
• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath 
• Tiredness or fatigue that interferes with daily life 
• Symptoms that get worse after physical or mental activities (also known as post-exertional 
malaise)

STUDY DESIGN  
This is a Phase 2, two-arm, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled multicenter study to 
evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ampligen® in patients experiencing the Post-COVID Condition 
of fatigue. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive twice weekly IV infusions of Ampligen® or 
placebo.  
 
STUDY CENTER 
Up to 10 centers in the United States. Centers must have the capability of implementing appropriate 
infection-control measures to prevent infection of study staff and others who share the clinical site 
space. The facility should be adequately staffed by medical personnel and equipped with a “crash 
cart” in the event of acute allergic reaction or requirement for advanced cardiac life support. 
 
STUDY POPULATION 
The study population for the study will be adult patients with the Post-COVID Condition of 
fatigue. 
 
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA 
3.3.1. Inclusion Criteria 
Potential subjects are required to meet all of the following criteria for enrollment into the study: 
1. Male or female adult between 18 to 60 (inclusive) years of age at time of enrollment. 
2. Prior confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis by standard RT-PCR assay or equivalent testing at 
least 12 weeks prior to baseline. 
Note: For subjects with COVID-19 symptoms who were not tested for the presence of 
SARS-CoV-2, a positive serum antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 will be sufficient in subjects 
not vaccinated for COVID-19 or it can be shown that the positive antibody cannot be 
associated with the COVID-19 vaccination. 
3. Laboratory confirmed negative SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection by a government 
approved test / kit at time of enrollment. 
4. Subject meets for the criteria of fatigue per the 1994 CDC Case Definition for Chronic 
Fatigue Syndrome (CFS):  Unexplained persistent or relapsing chronic fatigue that is of new 
or definite onset (i.e., not lifelong), is not the result of ongoing exertion, is not substantially 
alleviated by rest, and results in substantial reduction in previous levels of occupational, 
educational, social, or personal activities.  The fatigue must have persisted or recurred during 
3 or more consecutive months of illness and must not have preceded the onset of the 
COVID-19 symptoms.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) in the process of obtaining and documenting the informed consent. 
The Investigator, or designee, must also inform subjects of all pertinent aspects of the study. Before 
written informed consent is obtained from the subject, the Investigator or a person designated by 
the Investigator, must provide the subject enough time and opportunity to inquire about the details 
of the study and to decide whether or not to participate in the trial. All questions addressed by the 
subject about the study must be answered to the satisfaction of the subject. Prior to the subject’s 
participation in the trial, the written informed consent must be signed and personally dated by the 
subject and by the person who conducted the informed consent discussion. Authorization for 
release of protected health information must also be obtained, as per local policies.  
 
ASSESSMENT OF ELIGIBILITY 
The Investigator must assess subject continued eligibility for the study as per the Inclusion and 
Exclusion criteria, during the Screening Phase. The eligibility criteria are described in Section 
3.3.1 (Inclusion Criteria) and Section 3.3.2 (Exclusion Criteria). In the event that the subject is not 
suitable or eligible for the study, the subject will be considered “screen failure”.  
7.2.1. Re-screening 
A subject who signed a consent form but did not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria is classified 
as a screen failure.

infusion vitals will be limited to blood pressure and pulse only. 
Note:  During study visits when the 6MWT is performed, vitals should be collected before and 
after 6MWT (i.e., pre 6MWT, and post 6MWT), as clinically indicated per the discretion of 
the Investigator or designee. These should be documented in the source records as standard of 
care assessments; however, they will not be captured as a protocol assessment. 
Note: During study visits when the 6MWT and study drug administration is performed (i.e., 
Visit 6, 12, and 18), vitals should be collected as follows: pre 6MWT and post 6MWT, if  
clinically indicated per the discretion of the Investigator or designee. Subjects should be rested

infusion vitals should be taken after the completion of the study administration. 
 
30 MINUTE SITE CHECK 
Subjects will be monitored for 30 minutes after every infusion for evaluation of any unexpected 
adverse events.  
 
CONCOMITANT MEDICATION 
The subject may take any medications judged necessary by the Investigator, provided such 
medications are not listed in Section 6.4.1.  
All medications and therapies administered or taken by the subject beginning 30 days prior to 
Screening Visit and throughout the study will be recorded in the source documents and on the 
appropriate page of the case report form (CRF). Subjects must be questioned at each study visit 
concerning any new medications or changes in current medications including over-the-counter 
medication and topical medication. 
For each medication and non-study treatment, the following will be documented: 
• Medication/treatment name (generic name may be used if trade name is unknown) 
• Dose, unit, and frequency of dosing (individual dosages, not total daily dose).  
o Note: Each new dose of medication should be recorded as a separate entry, with 
the exception of medications that are given on a sliding scale. For these, it is 
acceptable to enter the range of the dosage, including the start and stop dates for 
which the specified dosage range was used. 
• Route of dosing  
• Indication for use 
• The start date  
• The stop date (if medication/therapy is not ongoing).

SAFETY REPORTING  
The Investigator is responsible for the detection and documentation of events meeting the criteria 
and definition of an AE or SAE, as provided in this protocol. During the study when there is a 
safety evaluation, the Investigator or site staff will be responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
reporting AEs and SAEs as detailed in this Section of the protocol.  
 
ADVERSE EVENT (AE) DEFINITION  
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom, or disease that 
occurs or is reported by the patient to have occurred, or a worsening of a pre-existing condition. 
An adverse event may or may not be related to the study treatment.  
AEs will be elicited through direct questioning and subject reports. Any abnormality in physical 
examination findings or laboratory results that the investigator believes is clinically significant 
(CS) to the research subject and that occurred after initiation of the first study treatment will be 
reported as AEs. Abnormal findings that are NOT clinically significant should not be recorded as 
an AE. 
 
REPORTING OF ADVERSE EVENTS 
Report initiation for all AEs and SAEs will begin at the time of the first treatment visit and continue 
until the end of final study visit. All events will be followed to resolution or until the subject 
completes the study. A final assessment of outcome will be made at that time.  
All AEs must be recorded in the subject’s medical records and on the CRF. AEs will be reported 
using customary medical terminology along with the following information: the onset and end 
dates,  whether the event is considered to be an SAE (see Section 9.3), the impact the event had on 
study treatment (see Section 9.2.1), the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 
(CTCAE) grade (intensity) of the event (see Section 9.2.2), the causality of the event (see Section 
9.2.3), whether treatment was given as a result of the event (see Section 9.2.4), and the outcome 
of the event (see Section 9.2.5) 
9.2.1. Impact on Study Treatment 
The impact the event had on the study treatment will be assessed as either: dose increased, dose 
not changed, dose rate reduced, dose reduced, drug interrupted, drug withdrawn, not applicable, 
or unknown. The “not applicable” assessment will be used only when the subject is no longer in 
the Treatment Phase of the protocol. 
9.2.2. CTCAE Grade (Intensity) Assessment 
The guidelines outlined in CTCAE v5.0 will be used for assessing the intensity of the event. The 
general guidelines for assessing the AE grade appear below. Full guidelines may be obtained at 
http://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CTCAE.

readily have been produced by subject’s clinical state, environmental or toxic factors, or other 
therapies administered to the subject. (3) Disappears or is decreased upon discontinuation of 
the study treatment. (4) It follows a known response pattern to treatment with the study 
treatment.  
4. Unlikely related: In general, this category can be considered applicable to those AEs which, 
after careful medical consideration at the time they are evaluated, are judged likely to be 
unrelated to the study treatment. An AE may be considered unlikely if or when (must have 
two): (1) it does not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of the study 
treatment. (2) It could not readily have been produced by subject’s clinical state, environmental 
or toxic factors, or other therapies administered to the subject. (3) Disappears or is decreased 
upon discontinuation of the study treatment. (4) It does not follow a known response pattern 
to treatment with the study treatment.  
5. Unrelated: This category applies to those AEs which, after careful consideration at the time 
they are evaluated, are clearly and incontrovertibly due to extraneous causes (disease, 
environment, etc.) and determined with certainty to have no relationship to the study treatment.  
9.2.4. Treatment Given as a Result of the Event 
The event impact in terms of treatment provided will be as either: none, medication administered, 
non-drug therapy administered, surgery performed, hospitalization, or other (with a specification). 
9.2.5. Outcome Assessment 
The outcome of the event will be assessed as either: fatal, not recovered/not resolved, 
recovered/resolved, recovered/resolved with sequelae, recovering/resolving, or unknown. Only 
one AE per subject is allowed to have an outcome assessment as “death.” If there are multiple 
causes of death for a given subject, only the primary cause of death will have an outcome of death.  
 
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT (SAE) DEFINITION 
An SAE is defined as any AE that: 
• Results in death 
• Is life threatening (the subject is at immediate risk of dying from the adverse experience) 
• Requires subject hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse effect when, based upon appropriate 
medical judgment, they may jeopardize the subject or subject and may require medical or 
surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Page 81 of 96 
 
REPORTING OF SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS   
The Investigator is required to report all SAEs that occur during the time period specified in 
Section 9.2. Once the Investigator becomes aware of an SAE, he/she must report the SAE to 
Medical Monitor within 24 hours. 
Medical Monitor 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Medical Monitor may request additional supporting documentation as it becomes available, 
such as lab reports, electrocardiogram [ECG] reports, discharge summary, hospital notes, etc., if 
applicable. Additional follow-up information as it becomes available must be reported to the 
Medical Monitor. 
The Investigator is also responsible for reporting all SAEs to the appropriate Institutional Review 
Board (IRB) in accordance with local laws and regulations. The Investigator is responsible for 
maintaining documentation in the study file that indicates the IRB has been properly notified.  
9.4.1. SAE Follow-Up 
All subjects experiencing an SAE, including the discontinued subjects, must be closely followed 
until sufficient information is obtained to indicate a return to normal status or until the event 
stabilizes at a level acceptable to the investigator (i.e., recovery, return to baseline status, no further 
improvement expected, or death). 
For each SAE indicated as an unresolved event on the initial report, regardless of whether the 
subject completed the study or withdrew, the site should submit a follow-up report with updated 
information. 
 
EXPECTED/ANTICIPATED EVENTS 
Refer to Investigator Brochure for the expected/anticipated events. 
 
PREGNANCY REPORTING 
To ensure patient safety, any pregnancy that occurs  after the first treatment visit until the end of 
final study visit should be recorded using a Pregnancy Notification Form and reported immediately 
to Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the pregnancy. 

 
 
Protocol # AMP-518 
                                                                                                   Version 4.0

If a subject becomes pregnant during the study before the end of treatment phase, they will be a 
discontinued subject. If a subject becomes pregnant during the study after the end of treatment 
during the follow up portion, they can complete the remaining scheduled follow up unless there is 
a medical contraindication. 
9.6.1. AE and SAE Reporting  
Pregnancy itself is not regarded as an AE unless there is a suspicion that the IP may have interfered 
with the effectiveness of a contraceptive medication. Congenital abnormalities/birth defects and 
spontaneous miscarriages should be reported and handled as SAEs. 
9.6.1.1. 
Abortions 
An induced elective abortion to terminate a pregnancy without medical reason is not regarded as 
an AE. However, an induced therapeutic abortion to terminate a pregnancy because of 
complications or medical reasons must be reported as an SAE. The underlying medical diagnosis 
for this procedure should be reported as the SAE term. A spontaneous abortion in a study subject 
is always considered an SAE.  
9.6.2. Informed Consent  
The ICF will include information regarding reporting of pregnancy to the Sponsor and collection 
of information through the end of pregnancy that occurs in either a female subject or in a female 
partner of a male subject. If a female partner becomes pregnant, the Investigator will request 
consent from the partner to collect this information. 
9.6.3. Pregnancy Follow-Up 
The pregnancy will be followed-up to determine the outcome (spontaneous miscarriage, elective 
termination, ectopic pregnancy, normal birth, or congenital abnormality) and should include an 
assessment of the possible relationship to the study treatment of any pregnancy outcome. This 
information should also be documented on the Pregnancy Outcome Form and reported to the 
Sponsor.

DIRECT ACCESS TO SOURCE DATA/DOCUMENTATION 
Subjects will be identified on eCRFs by a unique subject identification number and on source 
documents by name and date of birth. No personal identifier will be used in any publication or 
communication used to support this research study. The subject identification number will be used 
if it becomes necessary to identify data specific to a single subject.  
The local IRB, FDA, the monitors, auditors, and personnel authorized by the Sponsor are eligible 
to review the medical and research records related to this study as part of their responsibility to 
protect human subjects in clinical research. They will be given direct access to source data and 
documentation (e.g., medical charts/records, printouts etc.) for source data verification, provided 
that subject confidentiality is maintained in accordance with local requirements. Access to 
electronic medical records may be governed by institution policy. The study site will be required 
to ensure access while remaining compliant with institutional requirements.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS 
The specific obligations outlined in 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and ICH guidelines 
require the Sponsor to maintain current personal knowledge of the progress of a study. Therefore, 
the Sponsor's designated monitor will visit the site during the study as well as maintain frequent 
telephone and written communication. The Investigator will permit the Sponsor to monitor the 
study as frequently as is deemed necessary and provide access to medical records to ensure that 
data are being recorded adequately, that data are verifiable, and that protocol adherence is 
satisfactory.  
As delineated above, the Investigator will permit representatives of the Sponsor and/or designated 
CRO to inspect all CRFs and corresponding study subject original medical records (source 
documents) at regular intervals throughout the study. Subject original medical records and other 
relevant data must be available to support all data recorded in the eCRF. In addition to the original 
medical records, these data may include but are not limited to study, laboratory reports, etc.  
In accordance with federal regulations, site inspections will serve to verify strict adherence to the 
protocol and the accuracy of the data that is being entered on the case report forms. A Monitoring 
Log will be maintained at each study site. The Monitoring Log will be signed by the monitor, 
dated, and stated the type of visit. The Investigator should be aware that the study site and subject 
records may be inspected by the Sponsor and or representatives of the designated CRO, FDA or 
other regional regulatory authority. 
 ACCEPTABILITY OF CASE REPORT FORMS (CRFS) 
For each subject who has signed an informed consent form, a CRF must be completed. For subjects 
who are screen failures, this would be limited to the screen failure CRF page. All source documents 
and CRFs will be completed as soon as possible after the subject's visit and corrections to data on 
the CRFs will be documented, if applicable. The Investigator will review the CRFs to indicate that, 
to his/her knowledge, they are complete and accurate. CRFs will be reviewed by the Sponsor’s or 
designated CRO’s monitor, who will make a decision as to their acceptability.  
 MODIFICATION OF PROTOCOL 
The Investigator will not modify or alter this protocol without first obtaining the concurrence of 
the Sponsor. Approval by the Investigator’s IRB must also be obtained prior to implementation of 
the change, with two exceptions: 
1. When necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazard to the subject; or 
2. When the modification does not involve the subject’s participation in the trial.

An amendment may also require modification of the informed consent form. The Investigator will 
provide an approval letter for the amendment and revised informed consent form, if applicable, to 
the Sponsor. An amendment must be provided in writing, and it must be dated by both the Sponsor 
and the Investigator. If necessary, the Sponsor will submit protocol amendments to FDA and other 
appropriate regulatory authorities and notify other Investigators using this protocol. 
 REPORTING PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS 
The Investigator is obligated to follow the protocol without departure from the requirements 
written in the protocol. If the Investigator deviates from the protocol requirements, the Sponsor 
will make the determination as to whether the subject will continue in the study. The Sponsor also 
has the right to discontinue the subject for protocol violations. The IRB may also have to be 
contacted if safety to the subject or if the scientific soundness of the study is involved. All protocol 
deviations must be documented in the CRFs. 
11.4.1. Major Protocol Deviation or Violation 
A major protocol deviation or violation is a deviation from the IRB approved protocol that may 
affect the subject's rights, safety, or well-being and/or the completeness, accuracy, and reliability 
of the study data. Examples of this include: 
• Failure to obtain informed consent prior to initiation of study-related procedures  
• A research subject does not meet the protocol's eligibility criteria but was enrolled without 
prior approval from the sponsor. 
• A research subject received the wrong treatment or incorrect dose. 
• A research subject met withdrawal criteria during the study but was not withdrawn. 
• A research subject received a prohibited concomitant medication. 
• Failure to treat research subjects per protocol procedures that specifically relate to primary 
efficacy outcomes. 
• Changing the protocol without prior sponsor and IRB approval. 
• Multiple minor violations of the same nature after multiple warnings. 
11.4.2.  Minor Protocol Deviation or Violation 
A minor protocol deviation is any change, divergence, or departure from the study design or 
procedures of a research protocol that has not been approved by the IRB and which DOES NOT 
have a major impact on the subject's rights, safety or well-being, or the completeness, accuracy, 
and reliability of the study data.  Examples of this include: 
• Follow-up visits that occurred outside the protocol required time frame because of the 
participant’s schedule.

DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING 
 RECORDING AND COLLECTION OF DATA 
The primary source document for this study will be the subject's medical record. If separate 
research records are maintained by the Investigator(s), the medical record and the research records 
will be considered the source documents for the purposes of auditing the study.  
Applicable source data will be manually transcribed to approve case report forms (CRF). The 
Investigator is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the data transcribed on the forms. All 
source documents and CRFs will be completed as soon as possible after the subject's visit. 
The Investigator will review the CRFs to indicate that, to his/her knowledge, they are complete 
and accurate. Designated source documents will be signed and dated by the appropriate study 
personnel. The Investigator must agree to complete and maintain source documents and CRFs for 
each subject participating in the study. 
All research data will be entered, either electronically or manually, into a computerized database. 
The clinical database will be designed by the clinical data manager in accordance with 21 CFR 
Part 11 and based on protocol requirements defined by the Sponsor.  
The Investigator will maintain a confidential list of study subjects that will include each subject’s 
study number, name, date of birth, and unique hospital identification number if applicable. This 
list will be kept by the Investigator and will not be collected by the Sponsor. A notation will be 
made in the subject’s case history/medical chart that he/she is participating in a clinical study and 
has provided a signed and dated ICF as well as a release for protected health information as 
required by local policies. The Investigator must also maintain a separate screening log of all the 
subjects screened for participation in the study; it should include gender, age, eligibility status, 
reason for ineligibility, if applicable; and study allocated subject number, if applicable.  
 CLINICAL DATA MANAGEMENT 
The Sponsor and/or designated CRO will be responsible for the processing and quality control of 
the data. Data management will be carried out as described in the Sponsor’s or CRO’s standard 
operating procedures (SOPs) for clinical studies. 
The handling of data, including data quality control, will comply with regulatory guidelines 
(e.g., ICH E6 GCP, and local regulations where applicable) and the Sponsor’s or the CRO’s SOPs 
as well as provisions of the study-specific Data Management Plan.

All study documentation at the Investigator site and Sponsor site will be archived in accordance 
with ICH GCP E6 and the Sponsor’s quality standards and SOPs. 
The Investigator will maintain all research records, reports, and case history reports for a period 
of two (2) years after regulatory approval of the investigational product. If no application is filed 
or if the application is not approved, records must be maintained for two (2) years after all 
investigations have been completed, terminated or discontinued and the FDA has been notified.  
These documents should be retained for a longer period however, if required by the applicable 
regulatory requirements or if needed by Sponsor or its authorized representative (as per 
GCP 5.5.11). 
At the completion of the study, details of the archival process must be provided to the Sponsor. 
Study records are subject to inspection by applicable health and regulatory agencies at any time.  
Records to be retained by the Investigator include, but are not restricted to: 
• Source data and the primary records upon which they are based (e.g., subject’s progress 
notes, adverse event data, test results, and any other diagnostic procedures required to 
evaluate the progress of the study) 
• Completed CRFs 
• Signed protocols and protocol amendments 
• Laboratory results, ranges, and certifications 
• IP and accountability records 
• Study personnel signature log
