ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called ABI-1179 for people who have recurrent genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The main goals of the study are to check how safe the medication is, how the body processes it, and how well it is tolerated by different groups of people. The trial includes two parts: Part A involves healthy volunteers, while Part B includes participants who have HSV-2 and experience recurring outbreaks. Researchers will also look at how food may affect the medication in healthy participants.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be between 18 and 65 years old and in good health, with a body mass index (BMI) within a certain range. Women must not be pregnant and agree to specific contraceptive measures during the study. Participants can expect to undergo health screenings and receive either a single or multiple doses of ABI-1179. It's important to note that people with certain health conditions, like HIV or significant allergies, cannot take part in the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants who meet these criteria.
