Clinical Trial: Dose Ranging Safety and Efficacy of Therapeutic HSV-2 Vaccine
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Factorial Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Varying Combinations of GEN-003 and Matrix-M2 in Subjects With Genital HSV-2 Infection
Brief Summary:
This is a randomized, double-blind, factorial study to compare the reduction in viral shedding among 6 different combinations of GEN-003, a therapeutic HSV-2 vaccine and Matrix-M2 adjuvant.
Secondary objectives of the study include:
- Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of GEN-003 in combination with Matrix-M2 compared to placebo.
-
Comparison of the impact on clinical Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (HSV-2) disease among the 6 different combinations of GEN-003 antigens and Matrix-M2 adjuvant measured by:
- Time to first clinical and/or virologic recurrence,
- Proportion of subjects who are recurrence free at 6 and 12 months after the last dose of vaccine,
- Lesion rate (percent of days with genital lesions present) during the post-vaccination swabbing periods.
- Evaluation of cellular and humoral responses to GEN-003 antigens.
Additional objectives include:
- Assessment of the correlation between immune responses and change in viral shedding or impact on clinical disease as defined above.
- Determination of the recurrence rate in a subset of subjects not receiving suppressive antivirals throughout the study.
Eligible subjects will enter a baseline period to collect anogenital swabs for 28 consecutive days prior to randomization. Each subject will receive up to 3 doses at 21 day intervals. Subjects will

Current Primary Outcome: Change in proportion of days with detectable viral shedding [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Immunogenicity measured by humoral (antibody) and T-cell responses to vaccine antigens [ Time Frame: 33 weeks ]
- Impact on clinical HSV-2 disease based on time to recurrence and lesion rate [ Time Frame: 53 weeks ]
- Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: 57 weeks ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
