In summary:
  • If management try (or tried) to add another (new) herpes drug candidate at this point...it will take (or would have taken) a while. So I don't think it happened.
  • If they are trying to pursue two or three indications rather than just shingles in upcoming human trials, that will delay the start of human trials by at least 9 months (and more likely 18 months or more). I would not put it beyond management to do this, even though it could cause a serious hit to the share price for an equity raise.
I'm hoping they will go forward with human trials using just one drug for just one indication (shingles). Taking a second drug through formal tox testing (small and large animals) would cost in the neighborhood of an additional $500K, so it's not a totally unreasonable possibility.
