Active clinical trials for "Herpes Simplex"

Main goal of this study is to compare the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs) between the herpes simplex (gD2-AS04) vaccine group and the Saline control group throughout the study period (up to month 12). The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

A prospective, randomized trial to calculate incidence of Herpes Simplex Virus in an in-patient burn population and determine efficacy of prophylactic antiviral therapy to prevent viral infection and/or reactivation. Hypothesis is that antiviral prophylaxis will be effective in reducing HSV infection/reactivation.

The purpose of this study is to assess immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HZ/su vaccine when its first dose is co-administered with the FLU-D-QIV vaccine in adults aged 50 years or older compared to administration of vaccines separately.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals' vaccine GSK1437173A in the prevention of Herpes zoster (HZ) in autologous haematopoietic cell transplant recipients 18 years of age and older. To this end, the study will evaluate vaccine efficacy (VE) of the GSK1437173A vaccine, administered on a 2-dose schedule, compared to placebo in reducing the risk of developing HZ in this population.

This study is to identify if a Novel Antiviral Drug could be used to treat babies with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) with central nervous system (CNS) disease. In this study the investigators will identify the best dose for young children as well as identify additional safety information about the Novel Antiviral Drug.

The purpose of this study is to assess immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HZ/su vaccine when its first dose is co-administered with the Boostrix® vaccine in adults aged 50 years or older compared to administration of vaccines separately.

The purpose of this study is to cross-vaccinate and collect safety data in terms of unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and potential Immune Mediated Disease (pIMD) from subjects >= 50 Years of age (YOA) who previously received placebo in ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of immune response to the HZ vaccine as well as safety up to 10 years after the first dose of initial vaccination course. This study will also assess immune responses after re-vaccination with 2 additional doses of the HZ/su administered at ten years after first dose of initial vaccination course from study Zoster-003 (NCT00434577).

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a herpesvirus that causes two distinct clinical syndromes.Primary infection is manifested as varicella (chickenpox), whereas reactivation of latent VZV results in a localized eruption known as herpes zoster. More than 99.6% of people 40 years of age orolder had evidence of previous VZV infection. This study plans to have 30000 adults 40 years of age or older involoved in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of an investigational live attenuated varicella-zoster virus vaccine. The investigational vaccines are produced by Changchun Changsheng biotechnology co. LTD. The incidence of herpes zoster and the severity, and duration of the associated pain and discomfort were measured after the vaccination. And the safety of the varicella-zoster virus vaccine is also evaluated.

The goal of this randomized observer-blind trial is to further refine the formulation of vaccines containing GSK1437173A in older adults by comparing the cellular and humoral immune responses and the safety profiles of the different formulations.
