A new class of compounds, known as squalene synthase inhibitors, has recently reached phase III clinical trials and may provide another therapeutic option for clinicians to improve risk management of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The clinical need for another LDL-C-lowering therapy is evident by the inability to achieve an LDL-C target of less than 70 mg/dL in the majority of very high-risk patients on statin monotherapy. Human clinical trial data with TAK-475, a novel and potent inhibitor of squalene synthase, have not yet been published.
PURPOSE: Despite effective antiviral therapy, infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a critical public health issue, particularly genital herpes by its social and psychological burden and its contribution to the neonatal herpes and possibly to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE: Many prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination approaches have been explored but no effective vaccine is presently available. In fact, as members of the Herpesviridae family, both HSV-1 and 2 types have genes involved in immune evasion. FUTURE PROSPECTS: Further research is needed to define determinants of immunity in order to design more effective vaccines.
