This trial builds on the encouraging results from the Company\u2019s previously completed IMC-1 phase 2a FM clinical study. The 143-patient Phase 2a trial demonstrated that VIRI\u2019s lead antiviral development candidate, orally administered IMC-1, met its primary endpoint of pain reduction and was statistically better tolerated than placebo.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIMC-1 is a novel, proprietary, fixed dose, antiviral therapy combining famciclovir and celecoxib. This dual mechanism antiviral therapy is designed to synergistically suppress Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (\u201cHSV-1\u201d) activation and replication. It is the Company\u2019s hypothesis that HSV-1 related immune responses can serve as a catalyst for symptoms commonly associated with FM, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and fatigue related disorders. This hypothesis is supported by both clinical and mechanistic data, the latter of which has suggested that HSV-1 is actively replicating in the tissue of patients diagnosed with FM and chronic GI disorders, such as IBS.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are pleased that enrollment in our FORTRESS study is proceeding as planned and that all of our sites are now able to recruit patients,\u201d said Dr. R. Michael Gendreau, Virios\u2019 Chief Medical Officer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Gendreau continued, \u201cData from our prior clinical work has been presented in several recent medical meetings. These data demonstrate that in our Phase 2a FM trial, in addition to meeting the primary endpoint of significantly greater pain reduction compared with placebo, patients treated with IMC\u20111 reported significantly greater improvement on the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (\u201cFIQ-R\u201d) total score showed significant improvement on all three of the FIQ\u2011R domains, and also showed statistical significance on the patient global impression of change (PGIC). In addition, treatment with IMC-1 was exceptionally well tolerated in this study. These secondary endpoint results, combined with excellent tolerability, suggest that IMC\u20111 may represent a promising treatment option not only for alleviating pain, but also for improving other symptoms associated with FM, such as stiffness, sleep quality, depression, anxiety and fatigue.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company anticipates reporting top line results from the currently enrolling FORTRESS Phase 2b FM trial in mid-2022.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information, please visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.virios.com%2F&amp;esheet=52465430&amp;newsitemid=20210726005178&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.virios.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=cec97abe80af2237a0b3df4baeee048f\">www.virios.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About IMC-1 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIMC-1 is a novel, proprietary, fixed dose combination of famciclovir and celecoxib. This dual mechanism antiviral therapy is designed to synergistically suppress HSV-1 activation and replication. IMC-1 combines two specific mechanisms of action purposely selected to inhibit HSV-1 activation and replication, thereby keeping HSV-1 in a latent (dormant) state or \u201cdown-regulating\u201d HSV-1 from a lytic (active) state back to latency. The famciclovir component of IMC-1 inhibits viral DNA polymerase necessary for replication. The celecoxib component of IMC-1 inhibits both cyclooxegenase-2 (\u201cCOX-2\u201d) and COX-1 enzymes, used by HSV-1 to accelerate its own replication. Virios Therapeutics holds a U.S. \u201cComposition of Matter\u201d Synergistic Patent (US 10,251,853) for the synergistic combination for total daily dose of famciclovir and celecoxib.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Virios Therapeutics <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nVirios Therapeutics (Nasdaq: <b>VIRI<\/b>) 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 (\u201cFM\u201d). Immune responses related to the activation of tissue resident Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (\u201cHSV-1\u201d) have been postulated as a potential root cause triggering and\/or sustaining chronic illnesses such as FM, irritable bowel disease (\u201cIBS\u201d), 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 (\u201cIMC-1\u201d) is a novel, proprietary, fixed dose combination of famciclovir and celecoxib designed to synergistically suppress HSV-1 replication.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEvidence of IMC-1\u2019s 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 460 patient Phase 2b trial (\u201cFORTRESS\u201d) 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.
