Trial overview

Official title: Study to evaluate the safety of GSK Biologicals’ Herpes Simplex candidate vaccine (gD2t) with MPL in HSV seropositive or seronegative subjects without genital herpes disease

Trial description: This study will evaluate, versus a placebo, the safety of Herpes simplex candidate vaccine with adjuvant in initially HSV seropositive or seronegative subjects who have no genital herpes disease.

Primary purpose:

Prevention

Trial design:

Parallel Assignment

Masking:

Double (Participant, Investigator)

Allocation:

Randomized

Primary outcomes:

To compare between herpes simplex vaccine and placebo recipients the general safety of the vaccine by recording all the unsolicited adverse experiences and all serious adverse experiences

Timeframe: During a 30-day period after each vaccination (AEs), during 7 months after study start (SAEs)

Secondary outcomes:

To compare between vaccine and placebo recipients the incidence and severity of the reactogenicity as measured by recording the local reactions and the general symptoms

Timeframe: On the day of each vaccination and on the following 3 days

To compare between vaccine and placebo recipients the effect on the haematological and biochemical parameters in subjects from 20% of the centers in each country

Timeframe: At day -90 to day -7, and at month 7 and month 13

To compare between vaccine and placebo recipients the effect on pre-existing herpes simplex virus infection by recording the frequency and severity of all herpes simplex clinical episodes

Timeframe: Day 0 through month 19

To evaluate the incidence and the types of the serious adverse experiences in both groups

Timeframe: Month 7 to month 19

To evaluate the humoral immune response to the vaccine by measuring the anti-gD2 antibodies in a subset of vaccine and placebo recipients from each of the serostatus groups

Timeframe: Before vaccination, and one month and 7 months after vaccination

To compare the anti-gD2 antibody responses between the subsets of HSV double seronegative and HSV-1 seropositive only vaccine recipients

Timeframe: At months 7 and 13

Interventions:
