A Study of IMC-1 In Patients With Fibromyalgia

March 25, 2015 updated by: Innovative Med Concepts, LLC

A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Proof of Concept Phase 2a Study Exploring the Safety and Efficacy of IMC-1 for the Treatment of Patients With Fibromyalgia

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 16-week study designed to evaluate the hypothesis that tissue-resident herpes virus may be causally related to fibromyalgia symptoms or recurrence. IMC-1 is a combination treatment that is designed to suppress this suspected virus and thus alleviate fibromyalgia symptoms.
