Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of recombinant human heat shock protein 70-polyvalent peptide complex (HerpV) vaccine administration on recurring episodes of genital herpes by evaluating viral shedding before and after treatment.
Detailed Description:
This study will evaluate the biological effectiveness and safety of the HerpV vaccine in combination with adjuvant QS-21. The Safety and tolerability of HerpV plus QS-21 will also be evaluated by collecting number and severity of adverse events throughout the study.
Participants will undergo a baseline/ screening period. This is a 45 day period when the participant collects a swab of the genital area each day. In case of a recurrence, participant will be required to collect two swabs a day. If the participant collects at least 80% of the swabbing samples and meets all eligibility criteria they may enroll in the study.
Study Period 1 consists of three treatments and a 45 day swabbing period after the last treatment. The participant will collect swabs of the genital region each day for 45 days.
Participants who successfully complete Study Period 1 will proceed to Study Period 2. They will receive a booster injection of study drug or placebo according to their original randomization assignment. The participants will again enter a 45 day swabbing period, collecting swabs of the genital area each day for 45 days.
