Clinical Trial Summary

OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare the efficacy and safety of two doses of oral valacyclovir in immunocompromised patients with uncomplicated herpes zoster.

II. Compare quality of life, pain, and medical resource utilization in patients treated with these 2 regimens.


Clinical Trial Description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE:

This is a randomized, double blind study.

Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive standard dose oral valacyclovir three times a day on Days 1-7.

Arm II: Patients receive higher dose oral valacyclovir three times a day on Days 1-7.
