Assembly Biosciences, Inc. announced data from its herpes simplex virus (HSV) program featured in three poster presentations at the 2025 Congress of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), held in Vienna, Austria, on April 11-15, 2025.

“We are encouraged by the data shared from our clinical and preclinical studies of ABI-5366, supporting its potential to be a once-weekly or once-monthly oral treatment option for those with recurrent genital herpes, an underserved disease space,” said Anuj Gaggar, MD, PhD, chief medical officer of Assembly Bio. “Importantly, our analysis of genital herpes prevalence and treatment patterns further underscores the substantial burden of genital herpes in the United States and wide variability in antiviral treatment patterns. This guides our efforts to improve therapeutic options in a field that has seen little innovation for decades.”
