About Virios Therapeutics
Virios Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VIRI) is a clinical-stage
biotechnology company focused on advancing novel, combination
antiviral therapies to treat debilitating chronic diseases, 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 2a 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 (“FORTRESS”) 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. For more information, please visit www.virios.com.
