Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study for a New Antiviral Drug to Treat Genital Herpes Type 2 (NCT NCT01047540)

NCT ID: NCT01047540

Last Updated: 2023-04-21

Results Overview

Subjects were assessed for shedding rate as the percentage of number of swab days with at least one swab positive for HSV DNA relative to the total number of days with analyzable swabs. Measurement was based on presence of HSV DNA measured on the material collected from swabs taken at the visits by the investigator and daily swabbing of the anogenital region by the patient during the treatment and post-treatment period.
