A Clinical Trial in Healthy Volunteers and Volunteers with Recurrent Genital Herpes to Study the Safety, Tolerability, and Immune Responses After Vaccination with an Investigational Vaccine Designed to Prevent Genital Herpes Lesions

Description

This exploratory trial will have three parts. Part A is a dose escalation part, Part B is an expanded safety and dose evaluation part, and Part C is a safety and immunogenicity evaluation part in individuals with recurrent HSV-2 genital herpes. Part A will focus on the safety evaluations, and in addition, vaccine-induced immune responses (specifically neutralizing antibodies) will also be analyzed to assess if there is a dose-response. Part B of the trial will expand the safety characterization for two dose levels of BNT163 selected based on Part A data and will also enable a more comprehensive assessment of the impact of pre-existing immunity to HSV-1 and -2 on the safety and immune responses to BNT163. Part C will evaluate safety and immunogenicity of BNT163 compared to a placebo in a three-dose regimen in subjects with a history of HSV-2 recurrent genital herpes.

Conditions

Genital Herpes Simplex Type 2
