However, in April 2020, a subreddit group, r/HerpesCureResearch was formed to advocate for cure research and better treatment of HSV. The ...
A Double-blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Dose-finding Trial to Investigate Different Doses of a New Antiviral Drug in Subjects With Genital HSV Type 2 Infection. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] A Double-blind, Double Dummy, Randomized Crossover Trial to Compare the Effect of "AIC316 (Pritelivir)" 100 mg Once Daily Versus Valacyclovir 500 mg Once Daily on ...
Talimogene laherparepvec is a genetically engineered herpes virus (an oncolytic herpes virus). Two genes were removed – one that shuts down an individual cell's defenses, and another that helps the virus evade the immune system – and a gene for human GM-CSF was added. The drug works by replicating in cancer cells, causing them to burst; it ...
Ablashi's pioneering research concluded by suggesting that the virus name be changed from HBLV to HHV-6, in accord with the published provisional classification of herpes viruses. [15] [16] Years later, HHV-6 was divided into subtypes. Early research (1992) described two very similar, yet unique variants: HHV-6A and HHV-6B.
