| NCT01687595 | Biological Efficacy Study of HerpV Vaccine With QS-21 to Treat Participants With Recurrent Genital Herpes | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 80 | — | — | Oct 29, 2012 | Jan 1, 2015 | Jul 13, 2021 | 5 | United States |
The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), relative to the total number of days with available swabs. The viral shedding rate was defined as the number of days with genital swab positive for herpes simplex virus (HSV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), as measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), relative to the total number of days with available swabs. Overall viral shedding rate = number of days with positive PCR/total number of days PCR results collected. Change in overall viral shedding rate was calculated within participants comparing baseline with post-treatment, and summarized across all participants. Percent change in viral shedding rate and 95% CI are reported.

| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HerpV 240 μg + QS-21 50 μg | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive a combination of HerpV 240 micrograms (μg) and QS-21 50 μg injection subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 2 and 4 in treatment period 1. At Week 24, participants who completed treatment period 1 will receive a booster dose of combination of HerpV 240 μg and QS-21 50 μg in treatment period 2. Each treatment period will be followed by a washout period of 1 week. |
| Placebo | PLACEBO_COMPARATOR | Participants will receive a placebo injection subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 2 and 4 in treatment period 1 and at Week 24 in treatment period 2. Each treatment period will be followed by a washout period of 1 week. |
