What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the vaccine safety by repeated physical examination and by recording all local and general signs/symptoms

    Measured: Throughout the study

  2. Measurement of haematology/biochemical parameters on blood samples

    Measured: Throughout the study

  3. Vaccine reactogenicity by soliciting of local and general signs/symptoms

    Measured: On the day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days

  4. Vaccine immunogenicity by 6 measurements of anti-HSV antibodies

    Measured: From day 0 to day 45 following vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Herpes simplex candidate (gD) vaccine GSK208141 in people with Herpes Simplex, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the vaccine safety by repeated physical examination and by recording all local and general signs/symptoms (time frame: Throughout the study). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00698893, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2017.
