Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active controlled comparative study of the safety and efficacy of 2 dosing regimens of FV-100 versus valacyclovir administered for 7 days in subjects with uncomplicated AHZ(acute herpes zoster). Subjects diagnosed with uncomplicated AHZ within 72 hours of lesion appearance and worst pain of 4 or greater at day 1, will be randomized (1:1:1) to one of three treatment groups and will begin study treatment at the Day 1 visit(within 72 hours of AHZ lesion appearance) to either: 1. FV-100 400mg QD, 2. FV-100 400mg BID(total daily dose of 800mg), or 3. Valacyclovir 1000mg 3 times a day for a total daily dose of 3000mg. Subjects will be monitored for adverse events through day 21. Efficacy assessments for lesion status and AHZ pain are captured til day 120.
