About Virios Therapeutics
Virios Therapeutics is a development-stage biotechnology company
focused on advancing novel antiviral therapies to treat diseases
associated with a viral triggered abnormal immune response, such as
fibromyalgia (“FM”). Overactive immune response related to
activation of tissue resident Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (“HSV-1”) has
been postulated to be a potential root cause of chronic illnesses
such as FM, irritable bowel disease (“IBS”), chronic fatigue
syndrome and functional somatic syndrome, all of which are
characterized by a waxing and waning manifestation of disease.
While not completely understood, there is general agreement in the
medical community that activation of HSV-1 is triggered by some
form of environmental and/or health stressor. Our lead development
candidate (“IMC-1”), is a novel, proprietary, fixed dose
combination of famciclovir and celecoxib. IMC-1 represents a novel
combination antiviral therapy designed to synergistically suppress
HSV-1 activation and replication, with the end goal of reducing
viral mediated disease burden.
