About
Randomized, open-label, multi-center, comparative trial to assess the efficacy and safety in immunocompromised subjects with acyclovir resistant or acyclovir susceptible mucocutaneous HSV infection, treated with pritelivir 100 mg once daily (following a loading dose of 400 mg as first dose to rapidly reach steady-state plasma concentration) or investigators choice, which can be either foscarnet 40 mg/kg every 8 hours or 60 mg/kg every 12 hours, or Cidofovir iv 5 mg/kg body weight given once weekly, or Cidofovir 1% or 3% topical applied 2 to 4 times daily, or Imiquimod 5% topical 3 times per week) (provided the drug is nationally approved).
Full description
The trial comprises 5 Parts, Part A, B, C, D, E and F.
Part A and Part B (Phase 2) have been finalised.
Part A is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, comparative design to assess the efficacy and safety in subjects with ACV-resistant mucocutaneous HSV infection, treated with oral pritelivir or intravenous foscarnet.
Part B is an open-label, multi-center design to assess the efficacy and safety of pritelivir in subjects with ACV-resistant-mucocutaneous HSV and who either:
present with foscarnet-resistance/intolerance, or
developed foscarnet resistance/intolerance during treatment in Part A (no improvement after at least 5 days of foscarnet therapy or intolerance to foscarnet requiring cessation of foscarnet treatment).
Parts C, D, E and F (Phase 3).
Part C is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, comparative design to assess the efficacy and safety of oral pritelivir in subjects with acyclovir resistent (ACV-R) mucocutaneous HSV episodes. Subjects with ACV-R mucocutaneous HSV infection will be randomized 1:1 to receive either oral pritelivir or Investigator's Choice.
This trial part is designed to show superiority of pritelivir against Investigator's Choice in obtaining clinical cure, ie, number of subjects with all lesions healed within 28 days.
Part D is an open-label, multi-center design to assess the efficacy and safety of pritelivir in subjects with ACV-R mucocutaneous HSV episodes and who in addition either:
Part E is an open-label, multi-center design to assess the safety and efficacy of pritelivir in subjects with acyclovir susceptible (ACV-S) mucocutaneous HSV episodes, (Part E is not being conducted in Germany).
Part F is an open-label, multi-center design to assess the efficacy and safety of pritelivir in subjects with ACV-R mucocutaneous HSV episodes and who in addition either:
Dosing of trial medication:
Pritelivir oral tablet as single daily doses of 100 mg (following a loading dose of 400 mg as first dose)
Comparator per investigator's choice (provided the drug listed below is nationally approved):
Foscarnet intermittent infusions of 40 mg/kg every 8 hours or 60 mg/kg every 12 hours (to be adjusted in case of renal impairment) for a minimum of 1 hour duration, or Cidofovir iv infusion of 5 mg/kg body weight given once weekly, or Cidofovir 1% or 3% topical treatment, applied 2 to 4 times daily, or Imiquimod 5% topical treatment, 3 times per week.
Duration of treatment:
Until all mucocutaneous HSV lesions are healed or up to 28 days, whichever is earlier.
A prolongation up to a maximum of 42 days may be possible depending on the clinical progress.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Part C inclusion criteria
Immunocompromised men and women of any ethnic group aged ≥16 years.
In Canada, Germany, Belgium:
Immunocompromised (due to conditions including but not limited to HIV infection, hematopoietic cell or solid organ transplantation, and chronic use of immunosuppressive treatment) men and women of any ethnic group aged >18 years.
ACV-R mucocutaneous HSV infection based on clinical failure or positive genotypic/phenotypic ACV resistance testing for current lesion. Clinical failure is defined as no improvement after oral or iv doses for at least 7 days at doses equivalent to or greater than the local agency approved high oral doses of acyclovir, valacyclovir or famciclovir.
Lesions accessible for visual inspection to allow assessment of lesion healing including visualization by endoscopy.
Willingness to use highly effective birth control.
Subject, and/or their legally authorized representative, (proxy consent is not permitted in Germany), must be willing and able to understand the Informed Consent Form.
Negative serum β-HCG (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) test for women of child-bearing potential at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 1.
Written informed consent. For subjects, who are unable to provide informed consent for whatever reason, written consent must be obtained from the legal representative, (proxy consent is not permitted in Germany).
Part D and F inclusion criteria
All inclusion criteria as for Part C, except for inclusion criterion 2, which is replaced by:
Subjects will be able to enter Part F only after closure of enrollment in Part D.
Part E inclusion (Part E is not being conducted in Germany)
All inclusion criteria as for Part C, except for inclusion criterion 2, which is replaced by:
Part C exclusion criteria
Known resistance/intolerance to pritelivir or any of the excipients.
Previous treatment in PRIOH-1.
Baseline safety laboratory abnormalities.
History or current evidence of gastrointestinal malabsorption which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the extent of absorption of pritelivir.
Hemodialysis for any indication and ESRD (eGFR <15 mL/min; stage 5 CKD)
History or current evidence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrinological, metabolic, neurological, psychiatric, or other relevant diseases.
Abnormalities in hematological, clinical chemical or any other laboratory variables.
Not able to communicate meaningfully with the Investigator and site staff.
Any other condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with successful completion of this clinical trial.
Any other important local condition.
Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women.
Having received an investigational drug in an investigational drug trial unter certain conditions.
Part D (complete) exclusion criteria
All exclusion criteria as for Part C, except criterion 12, which is replaced by:
Having received an investigational drug in an investigational trial within 7 half-lives after the last administration of this drug before initiating trial medication, except for subjects entering Part D, who have previously received foscarnet treatment in Part C of this trial.
Participation in a clinical trial without receiving other investigational drugs (eg, follow-up phase of a trial, observational study) is permitted.
Part E exclusion criteria (Part E is not being conducted in Germany)
All exclusion criteria in Part E are identical to those in Part C with the addition of:
Part F exclusion criteria All exclusion criteria for Part D plus 13. Part D open for enrollment
