Pipeline for a Herpes Cure
We track the timelines for preclinical and clinical study, formulation updates, and go-to market strategies with research teams globally.
The pipeline only includes teams with published data, and those with expressed interest of bringing a product to market. There is no other organization globally except Herpes Cure Advocacy, who are advocating, tracking, or keeping HSV advocates informed on the pipeline for a Herpes treatment or cure.
The original 1.0 edition of our pipeline was published on November 25, 2021 and continues to provide a critical service for advocates, industry, and research teams globally. Hundreds of visitors globally view the pipeline daily and it continues to be the most visited page on www.herpescureadvocacy.com.

Herpes Cure Pipeline 2.0

Hi there,
This is fantastic news for all those afflicted, especially ones that have no idea they’re carriers etc.
I had a question if Keith Jerome’s research at Fred Hutch cancer center is going to be included for the dElTa 2/Cas 9 meganucleius will be included? Last I saw they’re targeting clinical end of q3/q4 of 22′ into 23. Thank you so much for continuing with updates

Hi. I suffer from the first type of herpes. To be honest, I’m already tired. I would love to hear about your progress.
As we can see many indian peoples comment here, we would also like to see clinical trials in India so that we can participate in those trials for good cause and humanity.
This is something that needs to be cured for our children as well. It is so easily passed without knowing and it is not just an std but can lead to an std. people suffer everyday and this has so many complications for people later in life. Please help!
