i have heard cmx001 the av the Dr Peterson is excited about, may be on the market next year and said to have broad spectrum antiviral effects.
So while googling, and I have read about before, was cmx157 which is basically an improved antiretroviral, is being developed to treat hep B and also is further along the line to being approved. It might be a far stretch but something active against hep B maybe active against herpes viruses. One example is famvir which is active against both herpes and hep B viruses. The other point that may make this helpful against other herpes viruses is that tenofovir made in a cream has shown to be effective when applied to shingles. So maybe not a far stretch to think cmx157 could help cfsers in the herpes virus sub group.
The other drug I have never heard of and has gone through several stages of development and possibly not far from being available is FV-100. It's said to be an antiviral not only effective against active shingles virus but also post herpetic neuralgia PHN which is a later stage of shingles where it's commonly thought that current antivirals aren't effective against PHN. This drug is said to be more effective in trials they have done compared with valtrex. So again this doesn't seem to be a far stretch to be effective against other herpes viruses implicated in cfsme. Also possible some cfsers have a low level chronic varicella infection which this drug could be very helpful. This sub group could also have mollarets meningitis, which is a recognised chronic vzv infection.
I guess because all herpes drugs are now off their patent we might see more new drugs developed that might be of use to some of us???
