Evaluation of Safety of Candidate gD Vaccine, With or Without MPL in Healthy Herpes Simplex Virus-positive Adults
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of candidate gD vaccine, with or without MPL, in HSV-seropositive subjects. The immune response elicited in these subjects will also be evaluated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the vaccine safety by repeated physical examination and by recording all local and general signs/symptoms [Throughout the study]
- Measurement of haematology/biochemical parameters on blood samples [Throughout the study]
- Vaccine reactogenicity by soliciting of local and general signs/symptoms [On the day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days]
- Vaccine immunogenicity by 6 measurements of anti-HSV antibodies [From day 0 to day 45 following vaccination]
