Filter by:This study evaluates the reduction in viral shedding after vaccination with a new formulation of GEN-003 in subjects with genital HSV-2 infection. Two-thirds of the participants will receive GEN-003, one-third will receive placebo.
Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus and varicella zoster virus infection are purported to play a pivotal role in morbidity and mortality in burns. Thus far, there is no existing systematic review (Level of Evidence III or higher) describing the unique role as well as concurrent infections of these viruses in burns. The aim of this review is to point out the clinical differences between these human herpes virus subtypes, to outline established therapy approaches, and to provide evidence for virus related morbidity and mortality in burns.
A prospective, randomized trial to calculate incidence of Herpes Simplex Virus in an in-patient burn population and determine efficacy of prophylactic antiviral therapy to prevent viral infection and/or reactivation. Hypothesis is that antiviral prophylaxis will be effective in reducing HSV infection/reactivation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single subcutaneous dose of UB-621 in healthy volunteers.
Welcome or not Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) is an ever present guest in the intensive care unit (ICU). Several studies have documented a high frequency of HSV reactivation in critically ill patients despite that clinical impact remains unknown.
This is a voluntary study to allow subjects who received placebo while on GEN-003-002 to be randomized, in a blinded manner, to 1 of 6 active combinations of GEN-003 and Matrix-M2. Objectives: - To compare the impact on clinical Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (HSV-2) disease among 6 different combinations of GEN-003 antigens and Matrix-M2 adjuvant measured by: - Time to first clinical and/or virologic recurrence after Dose 3 (Day 43) - 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 follow-up period - Antiviral use. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GEN-003 in combination with Matrix-M2.
This clinical performance study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the Aptima Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 & 2 assay for detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) in swab samples prospectively collected from suspected HSV lesions. Specimens collected using swabs from viral transport medium (VTM)collection kits and Aptima swab collection kits will be evaluated.
A multicenter, open-label study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP2151 in patients with herpes simplex (recurrent labial/facial herpes and recurrent genital herpes and Kaposi varicelliform).
Recurrent herpes labialis are usually a minor malady of limited duration, although they are often painful and are uniformly discomforting for patients. Oral antivirals represent an advance in the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis, but the clinical implications are modest. Randomized, controlled clinical trials have shown that oral antivirals decrease the duration of lesion episodes and pain by approximately one day. In recurrent HSV infections including herpes labialis, many instances of viral re-activation occur without symptoms, and can only be identified by detection of virus on the lips of infected individuals. In these cases, the virus is cleared from the local site without the development of a classical ulcerative herpes lesion. In the other cases, the triggered specific immune response rapidly stops viral replication in the skin and also causes the development of the herpes lesion prodrome and a considerable part of the symptoms associated with a classical ulcerative herpes lesion. One could therefore predict that treatment with an antiviral drug alone would help the immune system in shortening the virus replication, but may not substantially reduce the disfiguring symptoms caused by the immune reaction. In dermatology, the principle of using an anti-inflammatory drug improve clinical outcomes by reducing inflammation-related symptoms associated with the infection has been well established. We have found that a topical formulation of VDO is useful for alleviating pain and inflammation associated with infection caused by herpes virus.
Recent clinical studies showed, that a hydrocolloid patch is effective, well tolerated and comparable with aciclovir cream 5 % for the treatment of HSL lesions, while affording additional benefits of wound protection, discretion and relief of social embarrassment. The aim of the actual study was the clinical assessment of the effectiveness and safety of Hansaplast® SOS Herpes Patch (HPHP) in comparison to Compeed® Herpes Vesicle Patch (CHP) in treating HSL. Both products are CE-certificated and are available at the market for medical devices.
