On May 10, 2024, Virios Therapeutics, Inc. (VIRI) announced financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and provided a business update. The company announced that the Phase 2 clinical trial of IMC-2 (valacycovir+celecoxib) has reached 50% enrollment and we anticipate topline results from the trial in the second half of 2024. Earlier this year, Virios announced that it had reached alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that would allow the company to use fatigue as the primary endpoint and orthostatic intolerance as a key secondary endpoint in future trials of IMC-2 for the treatment of Long COVID. The results of the ongoing Phase 2 trial of IMC-2 will help to guide the final design of a Phase 2b trial.
