What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate in initially HSV-seronegative subjects the GMT's and the seroconversion rates of anti-gD2 antibodies (ELISA)

    Measured: After the second and third doses of each vaccine

  2. To evaluate in initially HSV-seronegative subjects, the GMT and the seropositivity rate of anti-HSV-2 neutralizing antibodies

  3. To evaluate the cell-mediated immune (CMI) response (lymphoproliferation, secretion of interleukin 2 and γ interferon)

    Measured: After the second and third dose of each vaccine formulation

  4. To evaluate, in initially seronegative subjects and in initially seropositive subjects, the incidence and intensity of solicited local and general signs and symptoms

    Measured: During 3 days after each dose of each vaccine

  5. To evaluate in initially seropositive subjects, the GMT and the seropositivity rate of anti-gD2 antibodies (ELISA) and of anti-HSV-2 neutralizing antibodies

    Measured: After 2 and 3 doses of vaccines

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Adjuvanted herpes simplex (gD) candidate vaccine GSK 208141 and Herpes simplex virus containing gD-Alum in people with Prophylaxis Herpes Simplex, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate in initially HSV-seronegative subjects the GMT's and the seroconversion rates of anti-gD2 antibodies (ELISA) (time frame: After the second and third doses of each vaccine). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2008.
