Hemispherx Biopharma is a small American pharmaceutical company that produces the drug Ampligen. Corporate headquarters are in Philadelphia, PA and the manufacturing and research facility is in New Brunswick, NJ. In addition to Ampligen, Hemispherx produces Alferon N Injection® and Alferon® LDO (Low Dose Oral). To date, only Alferon N Injection® has FDA approval. Ampligen and Alferon® LDO are not FDA-approved and are considered experimental.

In Feb 2016, Dr. William Carter, then Chairman and CEO, was terminated by the board of directors of Hermispherx Biopharma, who cited that part of the reason was a strong financial austerity plan. William M. Mitchell, M.D., Ph.D. was promoted in house as his replacement.

In June 2016, the law suit was resolved between Dr. Carter and Hemispherx regarding the wrongful termination claim. As part of the settlement, the intellectual property rights, including the patent for Ampligen and Alferon, are irrevocably assigned to to Hemispherx.
