NCT02300142

Brief Summary

This is a voluntary study to allow subjects who received placebo while on GEN-003-002 to be randomized, in a blinded manner, to 1 of 6 active combinations of GEN-003 and Matrix-M2. Objectives:

  • To compare the impact on clinical Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (HSV-2) disease among 6 different combinations of GEN-003 antigens and Matrix-M2 adjuvant measured by:
  • Time to first clinical and/or virologic recurrence after Dose 3 (Day 43)
  • Proportion of subjects who are recurrence free at 6 and 12 months after the last dose of vaccine
  • Lesion rate (percent of days with genital lesions present) during the post-vaccination follow-up period
  • Antiviral use.
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GEN-003 in combination with Matrix-M2.

  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormality or a value ≥ Grade 2 within 56 days prior to the first dose of Study Drug.
  • Receipt of blood products within 90 days prior to the first dose of Study Drug.
  • Receipt of a live vaccine within 28 days prior to or a subunit vaccine within 14 days prior to the first dose of Study Drug or planned vaccination within 30 days following the last dose of Study Drug.
