Results showed that treatment with RVX201 led to a reduction in recurrent genital lesions when compared to gD2-alum/MPL vaccine or placebo in vivo. In addition, RVX201 appears to generate a robust cellular immune response equivalent to that elicited by wild-type HSV-2 on Day 7 post-infection. Results showed that in comparison to no vaccine, animals that received RVX201 had the number of symptomatic days reduced by 45 percent while those that received gD2-alum/MPL vaccine only had a 24 percent reduction in symptomatic days.
