[{"type":"text","content":" ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nVirios Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIRI), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing novel antiviral therapies to treat debilitating chronic diseases, announced today that Greg Duncan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will present a company overview at the SNN Network Summer Virtual Conference on August 19, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. ET.\n\nThe presentation will focus on the role of activated viruses triggering a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia (“FM”), irritable bowel syndrome and fatigue-related disorders, and progress in its currently enrolling Phase 2b FM clinical trial.\n\nManagement will be available for one-on-one meetings to be held throughout the conference.\n\nThe live and archived replay of the presentation may be accessed on the Virios Therapeutics website under the Investors section: Events and Presentations.\n\nAbout Virios Therapeutics \n\nVirios Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VIRI) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing novel antiviral therapies to treat debilitating chronic diseases, such as fibromyalgia (“FM”). Immune responses related to the activation of tissue resident Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (“HSV-1”) have been postulated as a potential root cause triggering and/or sustaining chronic illnesses such as FM, irritable bowel disease (“IBS”), 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 (“IMC-1”) is a novel, proprietary, fixed dose combination of famciclovir and celecoxib designed to synergistically suppress HSV-1 replication, with the end goal of reducing virally promoted disease symptoms.\n\nEvidence of IMC-1’s 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 Phase 2b trial (“FORTRESS”) 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. For more information, plea...
