Filter by: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.
This is a phase I, randomized, observer-blinded study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of BV211(a herpes zoster vaccine) in Adult Volunteers.
The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to generate sufficient safety and immunogenicity data to enable the selection of an appropriate dose level for the initiation of a Phase 2/3 study.
Despite sex education in schools and prevention campaigns concerning sexually transmitted infections, genital herpes remains frequent infection. In 2016, according to the World Health Organization, more than 490 million people worldwide were living with a genital herpes infection.
This Phase 1 clinical trial is a double-blind, single-center, randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled, parallel-group, 'nested crossover' trial with multiple oral dose administration of pritelivir or matching placebo as well as a single oral administration of moxifloxacin (positive control) and corresponding matching placebo in healthy male and female subjects.
The purposes of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of different dose levels of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (CHO Cells) with 2 doses at 2-month intervals in healthy subjects aged 18 years and older, and to preliminarily explore immunogenicity.
Herpes zoster is a common disease, usually caused by the reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus from the dorsal root ganglion. Acute herpes zoster is characterized by severe pain and the appearance of vesicular skin rashes that usually heal in 2-3 weeks. One of the complications of acute herpes zoster is post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is usually defined as persistent pain lasing 90 days or more from the onset of skin rash. The reported incidence of PHN ranges from between 5% to over 50%. PHN can negatively impact one's quality of life due to serious physical, psychological, functional, and social disturbances due to consequences of chronic pain. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an emerging treatment option for chronic pain. It is currently used predominantly for treating musculoskeletal pain conditions such as osteoarthritis and tendinopathies. However, PRP promotes the healing of nerve injury and reduces neuropathic pain, making it a potentially promising treatment option for neuropathic pain. The effect of interlaminar epidural PRP for PHN has not been studied. In this study, a case series will be performed to investigate the analgesic effect of interlaminar epidural PRP for patients with thoracic herpes zoster.
To investigate the effect of esomeprazole (ESO) on the pharmacokinetics of pritelivir (PTV), and to investigate the safety and tolerability of PTV.
