Billions of people around the world live with herpes. The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a chronic relapsing infection which cannot be treated by vaccination.

Lesions of the mucous membranes (in the mouth) and lesions on the skin, called mucocutaneous lesions, are the most evident sign of HSV disease.

In patients with an intact immune system, immunocompetent patients, the ulcers are usually small in size, with mild pain and self-limiting.

In patients with an impaired immune system, immunocompromised patients, the ulcers are usually extensive, deep and associated with severe pain.

Patients may suffer from frequent outbreaks, the severity depends on the individual features of the host's body and the factors triggering the outbreak.

The most common drugs for treating HSV-infections are antivirals, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir.

But what are the options if these common treatments do not help during a relapse?

A clinical trial for a new drug called PRITELIVIR is now entering Phase 3. This drug has passed all previous stages of testing for safety and efficacy. It is designed for the treatment of HSV INFECTIONS in patients with immunodeficiency who are resistant to ACYCLOVIR and also intolerant to foscarnet or show foscarnet resistance.

The sponsor of this clinical trial is AiCuris Anti-infective Cures AG in Germany and it will be done at 20+ clinical sites in the US.
