Phase I trials for this HSV vaccine candidate, that will test prevention of genital herpes in humans, are expected to begin in September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, UPenn first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennmedicine.org\/news\/news-releases\/2019\/september\/new-penn-developed-vaccine-prevents-herpes-in-mice-guinea-pigs\">published news<\/a> that a novel mRNA-based genital herpes vaccine had been developed that protected almost all animal subjects exposed to the virus in preclinical studies in Dr. Harvey Friedman&#8217;s lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This work is in partnership with BioNtech and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennmedicine.org\/mrna\">Dr. Drew Weissman<\/a>, creators of Pfizers Covid vaccine. Latest studies in mice by Dr Friedman have shown his vaccine candidate is effective at preventing genital infection caused by HSV-1. Additional studies from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7410331\/\">July 2020<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jci.org\/articles\/view\/152310\">in October 2021<\/a> have also shown the same efficacy for HSV-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Friedman&#8217;s lab has indicated they are also doing preclinical testing on a therapeutic. Depending on results from the prophylactic vaccine, work on a therapeutic treatment to HSV-1 or HSV-2 may not be far behind.
