Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Phase III Study to Assess the Prophylactic Efficacy and Safety of gD-Alum/MPL Vaccine in the Prevention of Genital Herpes Disease in Young Women Who are HSV-1 and -2 Seronegative
Trial description: The primary purpose of this study is to see if a herpes vaccine may prevent genital herpes disease in women who are not infected. The study will enroll approximately 7550 healthy women. These women will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible study groups: herpes vaccine (experimental group) or hepatitis A vaccine (control group). Participants will receive their assigned vaccine at 0, 1, and 6 months. Participants will have 9 scheduled study visits and additional unscheduled visits for an evaluation of herpes if it is suspected. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 20 months.
Primary purpose:
Prevention

- A female between, and including, 18 and 30 years of age at the time of the first vaccination.
- Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
- Pregnant or nursing female.
- Clinical signs or symptoms of current oro-labial, genital or non-genital HSV disease, such as swelling, papules, vesicles, pustules, ulcers, crusts, fissures, erythema, discharge, pain, burning, itching, tingling or dysuria.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- A female between, and including, 18 and 30 years of age at the time of the first vaccination. -Written informed consent obtained from the subject. -Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study. -Seronegative for HSV-1 and HSV-2 by Western blot. -Subject must be non-childbearing potential, i.e. either surgically sterilized or, if of child bearing potential, she must be using a highly effective method of birth control (e.g., intrauterine contraceptive device; oral contraceptives; diaphragm or condom in combination with contraceptive jelly, cream or foam; Norplant®; DepoProvera®; contraceptive skin patch or cervical ring) for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative urine pregnancy test and must agree to continue such precautions for two months after completion of the vaccination series. -A subject for whom the investigator believes can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the memory aid/diary cards, return for follow-up visits, accessible by phone or pager, able to self-sample and not planning on moving from study area).
Exclusion criteria:
- Pregnant or nursing female. -Clinical signs or symptoms of current oro-labial, genital or non-genital HSV disease, such as swelling, papules, vesicles, pustules, ulcers, crusts, fissures, erythema, discharge, pain, burning, itching, tingling or dysuria. -Previous vaccination against herpes. -Previous administration of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) adjuvant (no vaccines currently licensed in the USA contain this). -History of any confirmed oro-labial, genital or non-genital HSV disease or infection. -Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period. -Planned administration/ administration of a non-study vaccine within 30 days of the first dose of the study vaccine with the following exceptions: Administration of routine Meningococcal, Hepatitis B, inactivated Influenza, and Diphtheria/Tetanus vaccine up to 8 days before the first dose of study vaccine is allowed. -History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study vaccines, e.g. aluminum, MPL, alum-MPL, 2-phenoxyethanol or neomycin. -Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition including, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. -Acute or chronic, clinically significant (unresolved, requiring on-going medical management or medication, etc.) pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal function abnormality, as determined by medical history or physical examination. -Acute disease at the time of enrollment (defer vaccination until subject recovers). Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever.
