Evaluation of Safety of Candidate gD Vaccine, With or Without MPL in Healthy Herpes Simplex Virus-positive Adults

June 1, 2017 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

An Open Study in Healthy Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-Positive Adults to Evaluate the Safety of GSK Biologicals' Candidate gD Vaccine, With or Without 3D MPL

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of candidate gD vaccine, with or without MPL, in HSV-seropositive subjects. The immune response elicited in these subjects will also be evaluated.
