(NYSE: MRK) MRK and AiCuris previously reported that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement for AiCuris' novel portfolio of investigational medicines targeting Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), including letermovir (AIC246), an oral, late-stage antiviral candidate being investigated for the treatment and prevention of HCMV infection in transplant recipients.  The Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is widely spread in the human population and can cause severe, life-threatening infections in cases of immune incompetency or immune deficiency, such as, for example, cases in transplant recipients, newborn babies and HIV/AIDS patients. HCMV infection is characterized by fever, leucopenia (very low white blood cell count) and thrombocytopenia (very low platelet numbers) with or without specific organ dysfunction. Two main strategies to prevent HCMV infection have been adopted: anti-HCMV drug prophylaxis or pre-emptive treatment of transplant recipients who are at risk and have evidence of HCMV infection upon screening. AiCuris GmbH & Co KG (name derived from Anti-Infective Cures) was founded in 2006 as a spin-off from Bayer Healthcare AG. With its deep roots in Bayer's long history of successful anti-infectives drug research and development, AiCuris is focused exclusively on the discovery, research and development of novel, resistance breaking antiviral and antibacterial agents for the treatment of severe and potentially life-threatening infectious diseases. Majority investors are Drs. Strüngmann, founders and former owners of the pharmaceutical company Hexal. Besides the HCMV program, AiCuris is pursuing several other candidates in various stages of clinical development including a novel anti Herpes Simplex compound ready for Phase III clinical testing.
