Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of 2 formulations of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-Targeted Immunotherapy (HSVTI) in HSV-2 seronegative ethnic Japanese adults aged 18-40 years.
In Italy, the 2017-2019 National Immunization Plan recommended specific vaccinations for the elderly, defined as those 65 years old and older, and at-risk adults with age 50+ (adults presenting cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic diseases, immunodepression, etc.). However, the coverage target set by the Plan (50% for Herpes Zoster vaccination in 2019) was not reached. Providing additional data on the incidence of Herpes Zoster could improve the risks perception of the disease and the vaccination uptake. The present study will aim to describe a full picture of Herpes Zoster associated hospital admissions in Italy, focusing on co-morbidities which induce reduced varicella-zoster virus-specific cell-mediated immunity response. Furthermore, as varicella-zoster virus reactivation was reported in COVID-19-positive patients, a deepening on a possible relationship between the two infections will be investigated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a self-replicating (sr) RNA-based vaccine, JCXH-105, in the prevention of Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Participant will be randomized to receive either JCXH-105 or Shingrix.
The purposes of the study are to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different dose levels of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (CHO Cells) with 2 doses at 2-month intervals in healthy subjects aged 30 years and older.
AiCuris Anti-infective Cures AG (AiCuris) is developing pritelivir for the oral treatment of acyclovir-resistant (ACV-R) mucocutaneous herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections in immunocompromised subjects. The purpose of the expanded access program (EAP) is to provide pritelivir to immunocompromised subjects with treatment resistant HSV type 1 or 2 who cannot participate in a clinical trial and for whom no approved treatment option is available. In view of the available pre-clinical and clinical data for pritelivir in immunocompromised subjects with treatment resistant HSV, the lack of treatment options, and the demand for compassionate use of pritelivir, AiCuris aims to provide access to pritelivir via this expanded access program (intermediate size treatment protocol) in the USA. The patient population is focused on those immunocompromised subjects that are not responding to the available FDA-approved antiviral options or cannot use these because of an underlying medical condition. This EAP enables pritelivir to be available as a treatment option for immunocompromised subjects with treatment-resistant HSV type 1 or 2, who do not have access to clinical trial options.
This study is an observational, cohort, prospective study looking at the frequency of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 and or 2 outbreaks in HIV positive patients who's HIV virus is controlled on highly active anti-retroviral therapy. We will be enrolling fifty (50) patients.
The purpose of this postmarketing commitment safety study is to evaluate the real-world safety of HZ/su vaccine during pregnancy in immunodeficient or immunosuppressed adult pregnant women between 18 and 49 years of age in the United States. The primary outcome of interest is major congenital malformations (MCMs).
The goal of this clinical trail is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of recombinant human interferon α-2b gel (ZK-A03) after changing the manufacturer of the active ingredient in patients with herpes zoster. This double-blind study will enroll approximately 368 adult patients with herpes zoster in China. Eligible patients will be assigned randomly at a 1:1 ratio. For each patient who is included, treatment may last up to 10 days. During the study, subjects will be treated with recombinant human interferon α-2b gel (either before or after the alteration of the active ingredient manufacturer), at a frequency of four times a day, together with a background therapy of valaciclovir hydrochloride.
Local used high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) with high viscosity has a variety of receptors in the human body, including CD44, LYVE-1, RHAMM, HARE, Siglec-9, TLR2, CEMIP and TMEM2. Intra-articular local injection of HA has a certain degree of analgesic effect. Local injection of HA into the nerve trunk directed by ultrasound was used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It was reported that the analgesic effect of HA is regulated by TRPV1 ion channels. This study hypothesizes that hyaluronidase cleaves HA to generate low molecular weight HA fragments HA35 with good tissue permeability, which may bind to a variety of HA receptors on the cell surface within the tissues and produce a broad-spectrum analgesic effect. In this study, 35kDa Hyaluronan fragment HA35 was prepared by mixing hyaluronidase PH20 injection and high molecular weight Hyaluronan (HA) injection at room temperature for 20 minutes. In this study, hyaluronidase injection and Hyaluronan injection were off-label used to conduct an investigator-initiated study (IIT or IIS) for the treatment of herpes zoster and shoulder, neck, back and temporal pain.
This clinical trial is to study the safety and tolerability of a recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (LZ901) and sponsored by Beijing Luzhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It is a phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study in healthy people aged 50 to 70 years inclusive. The study is to protect adults against shingles (herpes zoster / varicella zoster virus(VZV)). There will be about 66 participators who will receive two-dose injection at the upper arm. LZ901 vaccine is made up of a tetramer of VZV glycoprotein E (VZV gE-Fc) and adsorbed with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. This adjuvant can raise the immune response to a lot of antigens. It is the most widely used and safe adjuvant in various types of vaccines worldwide. In this study: 1. The participation is voluntary. 2. Before the study, participants will receive some tests for screening. If qualified, investigators will officially invite them to join this study. 3. The study vaccine is LZ901 with two different dose levels (50μg/0.5 mL, 100μg/0.5 mL). The placebo, which is saline solution, has no active drug. Participants will receive one of three as above mentioned. 4. Participants will be enrolled in one of four cohorts. If participants are enrolled in Cohorts 1 or 2, they will receive LZ901. If participants are enrolled in Cohorts 3 or 4, they will have a 2 out of 3 chance (66%) of receiving LZ901 and 1 out of 3 chance (33%) of receiving placebo. 5. In Cohort 3 and 4, the study staff and participants will not know which study treatment participants will be receiving. However, the study doctor can get this information in case of an emergency. 6. Participants will stay at the clinic for 30 minutes after each vaccination to observe if there are any uncomfortable. 7. This study will last about 8 months and will include about 8 study visits to the clinic. During this period, participants will receive a follow-up phone call and/or email by the study staff to follow the condition closely for safety, and record on diary/contact card. 8. Participants will receive some tests during the study, include safety tests such as physical examination, vital signs measurements, blood tests, urinalysis. Participants will be measured the levels of specific antibodies to see if the vaccine works well. This study is for research purposes only. Participants may not receive any direct benefits from participating in this study but have a chance to be in a study that may help others in the future.
