- Subjects should have experienced ≥4 recurrences of herpes labialis in the previous
12-months period;

- Subjects should have experienced prodromal symptoms in at least 50% of recurrent
Herpes labialis (rHL) episodes and should have developed ulcerative lesions that have
progressed through vesicle, ulcer, and crust stages in at least 50% of the episodes;

- Willingness not to use any topical application (such as cosmetics, lip balm,
sunscreens etc…) other than the trial medication in the area of lesion development
from start of prodromal symptoms to complete healing;

- Willingness not to use any systemic and topical anti-Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) agent
during the trial participation including prescription and OTC products;

- Willingness not to use any systemic, anti-inflammatory or analgesic agents from start
of prodromal symptoms to healing;

- Willingness to refrain from mechanical disruption (ie, scrubbing, lancing, shaving) of
the prodromal area or lesion after start of treatment with trial medication until end
of the trial participation;

- Women of child bearing potential and males must use adequate contraception;

- Subject must give written informed consent.

- Subjects with current lesion may be enrolled, but they must not treat the lesion
present at screening/randomization with the trial medication; they should be
instructed to wait for their next subsequent lesion

Exclusion Criteria:

for males and QTcF > 470 ms for females; PR > 220 ms) at screening.

- Clinically relevant abnormalities in laboratory indices at screening which in the
opinion of the investigator might have an impact on the safety and evaluability of the
subject.

- Known chronic infections which in the opinion of the investigator might have an impact
on the safety and evaluability of the subject.
