Active clinical trials for "Herpes Simplex"

To prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of Prokera Slim in adults with primary or recurrent herpetic epithelial keratitis in terms of visual function, corneal opacity, time to resolution, cost of care, number of patient visits.

This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx HSV-2 Test to a currently marketed device. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to the currently marketed device. The NOWDx HSV-2 Test is intended for qualitatively detecting the presence or absence of human Immunoglobulin G (IgG) class antibodies to HSV-2 in human whole blood to aid in the diagnosis of infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HZ/su vaccine administered on a 0- and 1- to 2-months schedule in adults 18 years of age or older who are receiving chronic immunosuppressive therapy.

Conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the hypothesis that offering client-centered HIV counseling and testing (HCT) to blood donor candidates will reduce the risk of HIV contamination in the blood supply and also increase appropriate referrals to preventive and care services to persons in need in São Paulo, Brazil.

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' candidate Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine in adults aged ≥ 50 years. Two studies [ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229)] are being conducted concurrently to evaluate efficacy of GSK1437173A vaccine. A pooled analysis of data from both studies combined will be conducted contingent on each study achieving its objectives. The protocol posting of study ZOSTER-022 also deals with the outcome measures related to the pooled analysis.

The purpose of the phase IIa study in healthy HSV seropositive and HSV seronegative adults is to evaluate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of herpes simplex (gD) candidate vaccine with or without adjuvant administered according to a 0, 1, 6 month schedule.

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.

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.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of a medication applied vaginally twice daily in females versus placebo (inactive substance). Study participants will include 60 women, ages 18-24, non-pregnant, previously sexually active, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) negative and sexually transmitted infection (STI) free, in San Francisco or Kisuma, Kenya. Each study participant will be followed for 14 days of product use and an additional 7 days for safety assessments. Study procedures will include a physical exam with a pap smear, urine testing, blood sample testing, and a colposcopy (exam of the vagina and cervix using a lighted magnifying instrument). Information learned from this study may help to develop a safe and effective medication that could prevent herpes simplex virus and HIV. Participants may be involved in study related procedures for up to 55 days.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ME-609 is more efficient than acyclovir and placebo for the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis.
