Beech Tree Labs' Oral Herpes Trial Begins
Beech Tree Labs, Inc. announced today that it has initiated a Phase 1/2a clinical evaluation of its novel therapeutic agent for treating recurrent oral herpes infections. This FDA-approved study is a 210 patient, multi-site, placebo-controlled trial of its agent BTL-TML-HSV.
“While our initial clinical focus in on oral herpes, we have evidence that suggests our patented agent may address a broad range of herpesvirus indications.”
According to WHO and CDC statistics, over 80 percent of the population have oral herpes with about 20 percent of these expressing symptoms. In addition, one of four adults has genital herpes, with the incidence steadily increasing. Treatment options for herpes are limited.
