The National Vaccination Program, updated by the Ministry of Health in 2021, provides a new vaccination opportunity for frail patients against Herpes zoster virus (HZ). The new treatment option, on the other hand, is designed by combining VZV-specific antigen (gE) with an adjuvant system (AS01B) to induce antigen-specific cellular and humoral immune responses in individuals with preexisting immunity to VZV. Efficacy, assessed in people given two doses 2 months apart, is around 97% in those aged 50 years and 91% in those over 70 years. In the studies conducted, HZ-related hospitalizations were significantly reduced. The vaccine schedule calls for the administration of two doses 2 months apart. The current HZ Vaccination Program implemented at the regional level recommends its active and free offer in people from 18 years of age with congenital and/or acquired immunodepression, through a collaborative relationship involving, on the one hand, multispecialist and multiprofessional medical staff and, on the other hand, citizens called to play a role that is no longer passive but the subject of empowerment by consciously making their own health choices. The collaboration with ASL Roma1, in this sense, acquires value as guarantor of the supply of the adjuvanted recombinant anti-HZ vaccine and of the appropriate reporting of vaccination coverage, which to date is still far from the targets set by the PNPV'17-'19 in adults at risk for disease. The purpose of this study Single-center prospective longitudinal observational cohort study is to verify patients' compliance with the proposed vaccination, the effectiveness of counseling carried out by a multidisciplinary team in the hospital setting.
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a painful, eruptive, viral condition results from reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus after the primary infection. The selection of an effective analgesic method in the acute phase of herpes zoster can decrease the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia by reducing neural sensitization. The stellate ganglion is present in 80% of the general population and is composed of the inferior cervical ganglion and the first thoracic ganglion fusion. It lies anterior to the neck of the first rib and extends to the inferior aspect of the transverse process of C7. The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has been reported to provide diffuse and effective analgesia in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions.
Rationale. Cancer patients are more likely to develop herpes zoster (HZ) and its complications. An acute episode of HZ implies in postponement of current cancer treatments, hospitalization, high risk of development of postherpetic neuralgia and high costs for paying sources. A better understanding of disease incidence, hospitalization, development of postherpetic neuralgia, and costs generated for funding sources may increase awareness of the impact of vaccination on oncology population. Objectives. Obtain HZ incidence and percentage of hospitalization in study population according to cancer type, topography, and stage. Estimate hospital costs arising from hospitalizations for different paying sources: National Public Health System (SUS - Unified Health System), health operators and private source (patient). Methods. We propose a retrospective descriptive study of HZ episodes occurred in oncological population attended at AC Camargo Cancer Center between 2019 September and 2022 August.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if the use of Purell hand sanitizer alters the duration, level of pain and discomfort during treatment, and the size of the HSV-1 lesion. The duration of an HSV-1 (herpes) lesion is the primary endpoint for this study. Size, pain, and discomfort are the secondary endpoints.
Almost 90 out of 100 people carry herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Once a person has been infected with the herpes viruses, he or she can't get rid of them for the rest of her/his life. For the most part, the viruses are in a dormant state. Only when the immune system is weakened, for example in the case of a serious illness or stress, are the viruses reactivated. They then mainly cause cold sores, which are harmless for healthy people and usually heal without therapy. However, especially in people with a weakened immune system, HSV can also cause serious infections, such as meningitis. In almost every second mechanically ventilated patient in intensive care who has pneumonia, HSV can be detected in the respiratory tract. This is caused by reactivation of the viruses as a result of the severe underlying disease and stress during intensive care therapy. Whether treatment of the herpes viruses (e.g. with acyclovir) is necessary in this situation and helps the patients to cure has not been clarified, especially as acyclovir can also cause side effects such as a deterioration in kidney function. Currently, the physicians decide to treat the herpes viruses in about half of the patients. Several studies have shown that patients for whom the physician decided to treat the viruses survived more often. However, all of these studies looked at the course of the disease only retrospectively and thus are subject to many biases (including physician selection of who receives treatment, missing data). A definitive conclusion as to whether herpesvirus therapy can be recommended cannot be drawn without doubt from these studies. Therefore, the investigators would like to investigate in a randomized controlled trial, i.e. patients are randomly assigned to the experimental (therapy of herpesviruses) or control group (no therapy of herpesviruses), the effect of therapy with acyclovir on survival in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients with lower respiratory tract infection (pneumonia) in whom a large amount of HSV was found in the respiratory tract. The goal of the study is to provide clarity on whether therapy will help patients recover.
Study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of Lazolex®, an emollient gel, to treat mucocutaneous lesions caused by herpes simplex virus.
This clinical trial is to study protective efficacy and safety of a recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (LZ901) and sponsored by Beijing Luzhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It is a phase Ⅲ, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled in healthy people aged 40 years and older. The study is to protect adults against shingles (herpes zoster / varicella zoster virus(VZV)). There will be about 26000 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.
The purpose of this study is to generate safety and immunogenicity data and establish a proof-of-concept of clinical benefit of the mRNA-1608 vaccine candidate.
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.
