Anti-Inflammatory Immunomodulatory Activity of Valacyclovir on the in Vitro Activated Mammalian Macrophages. (PubMed, Discov Med)
Valacyclovir has the potential to be utilized in the clinical setting as an anti-viral drug molecule with anti-inflammatory properties. Future studies are needed to further confirm its activities on different immune system cell types.

Anti-viral Effects of Pavetta indica Methanolic Extract and Acyclovir on Behavioral and Biochemical Parameters in Streptozotocin-induced Alzheimer's Disease in Rats. (PubMed, Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets)
In a dose-dependent manner, acyclovir and Pavetta indica methanolic extract treatments abrogated the streptozotocin-induced behavioral and neurological abnormalities in rats. The potential therapeutic effects of PIME and acyclovir administration in intracerebroventricular-streptozotocin-treated rats may be attributed to its potential antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. The current study suggests that Pavetta indica methanolic extract and acyclovir are promising therapeutic targets against Alzheimer's disease.

Urinary Viral Spectrum in Patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome and the Clinical Efficacy of Valacyclovir Treatment. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Urinary EBV was undetectable in any sample after valacyclovir treatment, and the decreases in urinary interleukin (IL)-1β (from 0.66 [0.55-0.82] pg/mL to 0.58 [0.55-0.64] pg/mL, p = 0.0034), IL-8 (from 6.81 [2.38 to 29.1] pg/mL to 4.33 [1.53-11.04] pg/mL, p = 0.0361), IL-10 (from 1.06 [0.94-1.18] pg/mL to 0.92 [0.88-1.02], p = 0.0086), and tumor necrosis factor-α (from 1.61 [1.50-1.72] pg/mL to 1.50 [1.44-1.55] pg/mL, p = 0.0079) were significant. Valacyclovir could relieve bladder pain, eliminate urinary EBV, and reduce bladder inflammation.

Impact of Outpatient Administration of Cytarabine Consolidation Chemotherapy on Hospital Length of Stay in Adults with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (ASH 2023)
Antimicrobial prophylaxis consisted of antifungal agents and valaciclovir...Fifty-nine pts (95.1%) received 7+3 idarubicin induction and 7 (11.3%) received midostaurin... In selected pts, outpt based AML H/IDAC consolidation therapy significantly reduced hospital length of stay compared with inpts. There was no impact on cycle length. Bacteremia and ICU admission rates were higher in outpts, and strategies such as remote monitoring or pre-emptive hospitalization could be considered.

Development of autoimmune nephritis requiring dialysis, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and hypersplenism during double immunotherapy with nivolumab/ipilimumab in metastatic malignant melanoma (ADO 2023)
Treatment options include plasmapheresis, dialysis, kidney transplantation and administration of the C5 antibody eculizumab...If CMV reactivation was detected, treatment was given with valacyclovir. In the case of cerebral progression, therapy with dabrafenib/trametinib was carried out after cerebral radiation with the BRAF V600K mutation...In this case, autoimmune nephritis, past Covid-19 infection and postoperative condition after laparotomy also come into consideration as summation factors. Interdisciplinary management of serious side effects is crucial for the outcome of affected patients

A case of post-herpetic psoriasiform dermatitis: Wolf’s Isotopic Response (EADV-Sp 2023)
The described clinical picture was compatible with a herpetic infection, previously treated with valaciclovir for 7 days, which led to the clearance of the vesicular eruption but the persistence of the erythema...The patient experienced more clearance, after 8 months of system apremilast administration...It is therefore advisable that the therapeutic target in Wolf’s isotopic response should be the newly-emerging dermatosis. In our case, this is confirmed by the clinical improvement when acitretin was introduced in the therapeutic regimen.

HIGH RATES OF INFECTION AND RELATED MORALITY FROM VENETOCLAX THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED OR REFRACTORY ACUTE MYELOID LEUKAEMIA: A SINGLE CENTRE RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (EHA 2023)
Background: Venetoclax is a BCL-2 inhibitor approved for use in combination with Azacitadine or low dose Cytarabine (LDAC) in the front-line treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in those aged over 75 or unfit for intensive induction...All subjects received anti-viral prophylaxis with valaciclovir and anti- fungal prophylaxis with Posaconazole, Voriconazole or Amphotericin...Demographics, Disease and Treatment Characteristics Median age, years (range) 67 (53-81) Sex 13 Male / 5 Female Type of AML (N) De Novo AML Secondary AML 4 14 ELN 2017 risk (N)ELN 2017 risk (N) Favourable Intermediate Adverse 2 7 9 Median number of prior lines of therapy (range) 2 (1-4) Cycles of Venetoclax (N) 1 cycle >1 cycle 11 7 Venetoclax combination (N) Monotherapy LDAC Azacitidine 3 11 4 Best response to Venetoclax (N=14) CR/CRi PR Stable or progressive disease 3 (21%) 1 (7%) 10 (71%) Table 2... This study show high rates of infection and related mortality in patients receiving Venetoclax therapy for R/R AML from neutropenic sepsis. Of note, there were 2 cases of PJP pneumonia and 2 IFIs suggesting anti-fungal and PJP prophylaxis should be strongly considered when using Venetoclax in R/R AML. The response rates after cycle 1 were modest with ORR 29% and median OS of 70 days.

[VIRTUAL] Epstein-Barr Virus–Associated Smooth Muscle Tumors of the Lung and Adrenal: Incidental Findings in a Kidney Transplant Patient (CAP 2021)
The patient had received high-dose corticosteroids, tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and valacyclovir therapies, and had no lupus flares...These findings are consistent with EBV-associated smooth muscle tumors. EBV-associated smooth muscle tumors although rare, may occur with diffuse pattern of pulmonary involvement and should be considered in patients with solid organ transplant and incidental findings of multiple organ lesions on imaging.

[VIRTUAL] Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma in the setting of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma mimicking a Richter syn- drome: is there a possible role of EBV or Ibrutinib-Venetoclax treatment? (ECP 2021)
After received valaciclovir, he switched to ibrutinib alone due to remained pancytopenia. Regarding to the literature, CLL/SLL cases transformed into T-cell lymphomas are rare and specially include PTCL, NOS and ALCL. Recently, Trimech et al. described 2 cases with composite AITL and CLL/ SLL and one case with same evolution as our case.

Neoadjuvant Gene Mediated Cytotoxic Immunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Safety and Immunologic Activity. (PubMed, Mol Ther)
A single intra-tumoral AdV-tk injection in three dose cohorts (maximum 10 viral particles) was performed during diagnostic staging, followed by a 14 day course of the prodrug valacyclovir, and subsequent surgery one week later...Thus, intratumoral AdV-tk injection into NSCLC proved safe, feasible, and effectively induced CD8 T cell activation. These data provide a foundation for additional clinical trials of GMCI for lung cancer patients with potential benefit if combined with other immune therapies.

Valacyclovir was administered for 14 days, starting the day after AdV-tk injection. Intratumoral injection of AdV-tk into lung tumors was safe and feasible. Further, AdV-tk effectively induced peripheral blood and intra-tumoral CD8 T cell activation. Consequent upregulation of inhibitory receptors suggests a potential benefit for combination therapies.
