Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of recombinant human heat shock protein 70-polyvalent peptide complex (HerpV) vaccine administration on recurring episodes of genital herpes by evaluating viral shedding before and after treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: HerpV and QS-21
  • Drug: Placebo
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the biological effectiveness and safety of the HerpV vaccine in combination with adjuvant QS-21. The Safety and tolerability of HerpV plus QS-21 will also be evaluated by collecting number and severity of adverse events throughout the study.

Participants will undergo a baseline/ screening period. This is a 45 day period when the participant collects a swab of the genital area each day. In case of a recurrence, participant will be required to collect two swabs a day. If the participant collects at least 80% of the swabbing samples and meets all eligibility criteria they may enroll in the study.

Study Period 1 consists of three treatments and a 45 day swabbing period after the last treatment. The participant will collect swabs of the genital region each day for 45 days.

Participants who successfully complete Study Period 1 will proceed to Study Period 2. They will receive a booster injection of study drug or placebo according to their original randomization assignment. The participants will again enter a 45 day swabbing period, collecting swabs of the genital area each day for 45 days.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percent Change in Overall Viral Shedding Rate From Baseline (Week -7 to 0) to Post-treatment Period (Weeks 6 to 13) [Baseline, Weeks 6-13]

      The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), relative to the total number of days with available swabs. The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), relative to the total number of days with available swabs. Overall viral shedding rate = number of days with positive PCR/total number of days PCR results collected. Change in overall viral shedding rate was calculated within participants comparing baseline with post-treatment, and summarized across all participants. Percent change in viral shedding rate and 95% CI are reported.

    2. Percent Change in Overall Viral Shedding Rate From Baseline (Week -7 to 0) to Post-treatment Period (Weeks 26 to 33) [Baseline, Weeks 26-33]

      The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for HSV DNA, as measured by quantitative real-time PCR, relative to the total number of days with available swabs. The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), relative to the total number of days with available swabs. Overall viral shedding rate = number of days with positive PCR/total number of days PCR results collected. Change in overall viral shedding rate was calculated within participants comparing baseline with post-treatment, and summarized across all participants. Percent change in viral shedding rate and 95% CI are reported.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Immune Response at Any Time [Baseline through Week 26]

    2. Number of Participants With CD8+ Immune Response at Any Time [Baseline through Week 26]
