Herpes Labialis Clinical Pipeline Insight 2025: Antivirals, Vaccines, and Long-Acting Therapies Advancing Toward Better Outbreak Control | DelveInsight

DelveInsight's "Herpes Labialis - Clinical Pipeline Insight, 2025" reviews more than 6+ therapies in development for herpes labialis (cold sores), a recurrent infection most commonly caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). While short-course topical and oral antivirals have long been the standard of care for shortening outbreaks and relieving symptoms, recurrent disease, subclinical shedding, and the psychosocial burden of visible lesions continue to drive demand for more durable and preventive solutions.

The clinical pipeline is diverse and includes next-generation topical antivirals with improved penetration, novel oral small-molecule antivirals with extended half-lives, long-acting injectable antivirals, therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and host-directed therapies that target viral entry or the cellular factors HSV exploits. Emerging modalities such as gene-editing approaches, RNA interference, and engineered bacteriotherapies are also being explored in early development to reduce viral latency and recurrence risk.

With several programs progressing toward late-stage evaluation, notably long-acting antivirals and vaccine candidates designed to prevent recurrence or reduce viral shedding, the herpes labialis treatment landscape is poised for meaningful change. If late-stage trials demonstrate durable reductions in outbreak frequency and improved safety, precision-targeted and long-duration strategies could shift management from episodic symptom control to prevention and durable suppression, improving quality of life for patients living with recurrent cold sores.

Key Takeaways from the Herpes Labialis Pipeline Report
• DelveInsight's Herpes Labialis Pipeline analysis depicts a robust space with 6+ active players working to develop 6+ pipeline drugs for Herpes Labialis treatment.
• The leading Herpes Labialis companies include AiCuris, Heidelberg ImmunoTherapeutics, Ecogene 21, Beech Tree Labs, NanoViricides, Maxwell Biosciences., and others are evaluating their lead assets to improve the Herpes Labialis treatment landscape.
• Key Herpes Labialis pipeline therapies in various stages of development include HDIT-101, PRITELIVIR, GSK3943104, mRNA-1608, and others.
• In November 2024, Mustang Bio announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to MB-108, a herpes simplex virus type 1 oncolytic virus and a component of MB-109, for the treatment of malignant glioma. MB-109 combines MB-101, a CAR-T cell therapy targeting interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2, with MB-108, licensed from Nationwide Children's Hospital.
• In October 2024, Mustang Bio received an Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. FDA for MB-108. This herpes simplex virus type 1 oncolytic virus is also a component of MB-109, developed to treat malignant glioma.
• In September 2024, GSK announced its experimental HSV vaccine failed to meet its primary endpoint in a mid-stage trial and will not proceed to a late-stage study, marking a setback for that candidate.

Herpes Labialis Overview
Herpes Labialis, commonly known as oral herpes or HSV-1, is a viral infection that affects the mouth area, leading to small, painful blisters on the lips, gums, or throat. These blisters are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). The condition is highly prevalent, affecting approximately 67% of adults worldwide. Symptoms typically include painful blisters or ulcers at the site of infection. While cold sores associated with herpes labialis usually resolve within 1-2 weeks, antiviral treatments such as acyclovir and topical creams like docosanol (Abreva) can help alleviate discomfort and speed up healing.

Herpes Labialis Treatment Analysis: Drug Profile
HDIT-101: Heidelberg ImmunoTherapeutics
HDIT-101 is a humanized monoclonal antibody developed by Heidelberg ImmunoTherapeutics for the treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, including herpes labialis (oral herpes caused by HSV-1). It targets glycoprotein B (gB), a conserved viral protein essential for HSV infectivity and cell-to-cell spread, effectively neutralizing the virus and preventing recurrent outbreaks. HDIT-101 has shown promise in early clinical trials, with Phase I results demonstrating a favorable safety profile, linear pharmacokinetics, and no serious adverse events. Its mechanism of action offers a novel approach, especially for patients with resistance to conventional antiviral therapies.

Currently, HDIT-101 is being evaluated in Phase II trials for both orolabial herpes (MATCH-1 trial) and genital herpes (MATCH-2 trial). The MATCH-1 study focuses on topical application for patients with frequent HSV-1 outbreaks, while the MATCH-2 trial investigates intravenous administration for HSV-2. These trials aim to assess the efficacy of HDIT-101 in reducing outbreak frequency and improving patient outcomes. If successful, HDIT-101 could become a groundbreaking treatment option for managing chronic recurrent herpes infections.
