The effectiveness rate, which means the percentage of patients with a “moderate improvement” or better response, in patients with herpes simplex was 50.0%. And the percentage of patients with “slight improvement” or better response was 81.6%. The treatment of MJD-1741 was shown to cause neither side effects nor any abnormal laboratory findings.
