About Virios Therapeutics
Virios Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VIRI) is a clinical-stage
biotechnology company focused on advancing novel, dual mechanism
antiviral therapies to treat conditions associated with virally
triggered or maintained immune responses, such as fibromyalgia
(“FM”). Immune responses related to the activation of tissue
resident Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (“HSV-1”) have been postulated as a
potential root cause triggering and/or sustaining chronic illnesses
such as FM, irritable bowel disease (“IBS”), chronic fatigue
syndrome and other functional somatic syndromes, all of which are
characterized by waxing and waning symptoms with no obvious
etiology. Our lead development candidate (“IMC-1”) is a novel,
proprietary, fixed dose combination of famciclovir and celecoxib
designed to synergistically suppress HSV-1 replication, with the
end goal of reducing virally promoted disease symptoms.
Evidence of IMC-1’s efficacy on a broad spectrum of FM outcome
measures was previously demonstrated in a Phase 2 clinical trial.
These trial results are suggestive that IMC-1 may represent a new
and novel treatment for fibromyalgia. IMC-1 has been granted fast
track designation by the FDA and is currently being tested in a
multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2B
trial designed to set the stage for registrational studies. The
company is led by an executive team highly experienced in the
successful development and commercialization of novel therapies.
