Participants must be willing to use effective birth control and have lesions that can be visually inspected. Pregnant women, individuals unable to consent, or those not following specific treatment protocols are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Pritelivir tablets (with an initial high dose) against Foscarnet injections in treating herpes infections in people with weakened immune systems. It's a randomized and open-label trial, meaning both researchers and participants know which treatment is given.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, headache, fatigue, kidney issues from Foscarnet; while Pritelivir might cause gastrointestinal symptoms or changes in blood tests monitoring liver function.
