Frequently asked questions about Valacyclovir

What is Valacyclovir used for?

Valacyclovir has been studied in clinical trials for chronic hepatitis C infection and HIV infection, including research into herpes simplex virus suppression in patients with these conditions. It is a small molecule antiviral developed by GSK plc. Its studied uses in these programs focus on infectious disease, specifically viral co-infections involving hepatitis C and HIV.

Who makes Valacyclovir?

Valacyclovir is developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating valacyclovir in chronic hepatitis C infection and HIV infection.

What phase is Valacyclovir in?

Valacyclovir has been investigated in Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials for chronic hepatitis C infection and HIV infection. These trials are completed, and no active trials are currently listed. The development stage varies by indication, with the most advanced completed study being Phase 3.

What clinical trials is Valacyclovir in?

Valacyclovir has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01580995, a Phase 2 study of herpes simplex type 1 suppression in hepatitis C; NCT01453075, a Phase 1 trial of three grams daily valacyclovir in chronic hepatitis C and HSV-2 infection; and NCT00378976, a Phase 3 study of HSV-2 suppression to reduce HIV-1 levels in co-infected men.

Is Valacyclovir FDA approved?

Valacyclovir is an investigational treatment in the clinical development programs for chronic hepatitis C infection and HIV infection described here. The trials for these indications are completed, and no active trials are ongoing. Approval status for these specific infectious disease indications is not established by the completed research.
