NB-001 Treatment of Recurrent Herpes Labialis

June 13, 2013 updated by: NanoBio Corporation

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Vehicle-Controlled, Multicenter Study of NB-001 Treatment of Recurrent Herpes Labialis

This is a study to test the hypothesis that time to healing of a cold sore will be lower in the active treatment arm of the study when compared to the vehicle (placebo). Subjects with a history of cold sores will be enrolled and administered active treatment or placebo in a blinded manner. Subjects will then be followed to assess time to healing.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Be a healthy man or woman 18 years of age or older. Women who are pregnant, lactating or may become pregnant may (at the investigator's discretion) be included in the study;
  2. Have recurrent herpes labialis as defined by a history of three (3) or more cold sore recurrences on the lips and/or skin surrounding the lips in the previous year. The majority of their cold sore recurrences proceeded by a well-defined history of prodromal symptoms including redness, pain, burning, tingling, itching, swelling or a tight sensation of the lip at the site of the outbreak;
  3. Be willing to refrain from using systemic or topical antiviral agents or systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to study drug administration and for the duration of the cold sore recurrence;
  4. Be willing to refrain from using any topical pharmaceutical or cosmetic products other than the study medication in or around the nasal and perioral areas for the duration of the cold sore recurrence;
  5. Be willing to refrain from participation in another clinical trial;
  6. Be willing and able to use phone or internet to obtain the combination to unlock their study medication kit;
  7. Be able to read and write in English and understand and comply with the protocol requirements;
  8. Be able to give informed consent and have signed a written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known hypersensitivity to one of the drug ingredients, including soybean oil, polysorbate (Tween), alcohol, EDTA, or cetylpyridinium chloride (found in some mouthwashes and lozenges);
  2. Severe chronic illness including renal failure, severe respiratory or cardiac disease, chronic infections, immunodeficiency syndrome, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or untreated severe thyroid disease;
  3. Received (within the last 6 months) or receiving chemotherapy;
  4. Significant skin disease on the face (such as atopic dermatitis, cystic acne, severe rosacea, eczema, psoriasis or other chronic vesiculobullous disorders) or lesions, wounds, abrasions, piercings, tattoos, irritation or other skin conditions on or around the nasal and perioral areas that would interfere with the treatment or assessment of the primary lesion complex. Subjects with mild controlled psoriasis, eczema, acne or dermatitis or other conditions may be included if the condition does not interfere with the ability to evaluate a herpes labialis lesion or local skin irritation;
  5. Previously received herpes vaccine;
  6. Active alcohol or drug abuse;
  7. Prior randomization into any NanoBio study;
  8. Any condition that would potentially make them unable to participate for the entire trial period;
  9. Known allergies to topical creams, ointments or other topical medications.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to healing of the primary lesion complex (in days or fraction thereof) as assessed by the investigator.
Time Frame: Time to healing will be assessed from treatment onset to resolution of symptoms (maximum of 16 days)
Time to healing is the time from receiving the combination to unlock the medication and begin treatment to investigator assessed healing.
Time to healing will be assessed from treatment onset to resolution of symptoms (maximum of 16 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects in whom the primary lesion complex does not progress beyond the Papule/Edema Stage
Time Frame: Proportion of subjects in whom the primary lesion complex does not progress will be assessed from treatment onset to resolution of symptoms (maximum of 16 days)
This analysis will be performed in the cohort of subjects whose primary lesion complex is assessed as being in the Prodrome (pain, burning, tingling, itching, redness, swelling, or a tight sensation of the lip), Erythema/Macule, Papule/Edema, or Aborted Stage by the investigator at the first post-treatment visit.
Proportion of subjects in whom the primary lesion complex does not progress will be assessed from treatment onset to resolution of symptoms (maximum of 16 days)

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and tolerability
Time Frame: Safety and tolerability will be assessed from treatment onset to study close (expected average of 2 months)
Safety and tolerability of NB-001 following topical administration as assessed by the number and severity of adverse events.
Safety and tolerability will be assessed from treatment onset to study close (expected average of 2 months)
