Study to Compare Safety and Immunogenicity of Commercial Scale Consistency Lots of Herpes Simplex Vaccine

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Herpes Simplex

In brief

Evaluate, one month after the third dose, the lot-to-lot consistency of 3 different commercial scale production lots of the candidate vaccine in healthy HSV 1-/2- females aged 10-17 years, determined by ELISA. Absence in significant variation for both parameters among the tested lots was hypothesized.

• Previous vaccination against herpes.
• History of erythema multiforme.
• Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
• Planned administration/administration of a non-study vaccine within 30 days before and after the first dose of study vaccine with the following exceptions: Administration of routine meningococcal, hepatitis B, inactivated influenza, diphtheria/tetanus and/or diphtheria/tetanus containing vaccine up to 8 days before the first dose of study vaccine is allowed.
• History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study vaccines
• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
• History of a current acute or chronic autoimmune disease.
• History of any neurologic disorders or seizures, with the exception of a single febrile seizure during childhood.
• Acute or chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by medical history or physical examination.
• Acute disease at the time of enrolment
• Oral temperature ≥99.5°F (> 37.5°C) / axillary temperature ≥99.5°F (> 37.5°C) at the time of enrolment
• Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose or planned use during the study period
• Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
