Epiphany Biosciences plans on filing an IND at the FDA to study the potential impact of valomaciclovir in patients with multiple sclerosis. Valomaciclovir, (EBP-348, MIV-606) is a compound licensed from Medivir. One of the multiple contributing factors to the disease MS can be Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and valomaciclovir is active against EBV and other herpes viruses. MS affects approximately 2.5 million people world-wide and there is no effective treatment. Valomaciclovir is presently in phase IIb clinical trials against zoster (shingles) and phase IIa against mononucleosis (EBV infection).
