Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of participants reporting each solicited administration site event
Within 7 days after the first study intervention dose (administered at Day 1)

The solicited administration site events are pain, redness and swelling.

Percentage of participants reporting each solicited systemic event
Within 7 days after the first study intervention dose (administered at Day 1)

The solicited systemic events are fever, fatigue, headache, myalgia and arthralgia. The preferred location for measuring temperature is the oral cavity. Fever is defined as temperature equal to or above (≥) 38.0 degree Celsius (°C)/ 100.4 degree Fahrenheit (°F), regardless the location of measurement.

Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited adverse events (AEs)
Within 28 days after the first study intervention dose (administered at Day 1)

An unsolicited AE is any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also, any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms (7 days after each dose) is reported as an unsolicited AE.

Percentage of participants reporting medically attended events (MAEs)
From Dose 1 (Day 1) up 12 months after last study intervention administration (Day 394)

An MAE is an unsolicited AE for which the participants received medical attention defined as any symptoms or illnesses requiring hospitalization, or an emergency room visit, or visit to/by healthcare professionals.

Percentage of participants reporting any serious adverse events (SAEs)
From Dose 1 (Day 1) up to 12 months after last study intervention administration (Day 394)

An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study participant or results in abnormal pregnancy outcomes.

Percentage of participants reporting any potential immune-mediated disease (pIMDs) (classified as newly diagnosed or exacerbation of pre-existing events)
From Dose 1 (Day 1) up to 12 months after last study intervention administration (Day 394)

PIMDs are a subset of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) that include autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders of interest which may or may not have an autoimmune aetiology.

Percentage of participants reporting any haematological and biochemical laboratory abnormalities at pre-study intervention administration (Day 1) in Part I of the study
At pre-study intervention administration (Day 1)

Clinically significant haematological and biochemical abnormal laboratory findings are those which are not associated with an underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition.

At Day 57
Time-to-first confirmed HSV-2 RGH episode in Part II of the study
14 days post-Dose 2 (Day 43) to end of RGH event reporting period

A suspected RGH episode will be classified as confirmed HSV-2 RGH episode if at least one of the lesional or anogenital swabs taken during the concerned episode is positive for HSV-2 as measured by PCR. The end of RGH reporting can occur at Day 209 for participants who have not yet completed Visit 8 \[Day 209\] at the time the Informed Consent Form (ICF) addendum was signed and consented, or at non-scheduled time, being defined by the date on which participants decided to stop the RGH reporting after acknowledgement of unsuccessful primary analysis before ICF addendum consent or the day the eDiary is deactivated after ICF addendum consent.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of confirmed HSV-2 RGH episodes in Part II of the study
14 days post-Dose 2 (Day 43) to end of RGH event reporting period
Percentage of participants free from confirmed HSV-2 RGH episode in Part II of the study
