Herpes Zoster - Shingles |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two doses of FV-100 to
valacyclovir in patients with herpes zoster, or shingles. FV-100 has shown to be very
potent in cells infected with varicella zoster virus, the virus that causes shingles. The
study objectives include:
- Compare the safety of FV-100 to valacyclovir
- Compare the effect of FV-100, as compared to valacyclovir, on shingles pain
- Compare the effect of FV-100, as compared to valacyclovir, on shingles lesions

|
|
| Criteria: |
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women ≥ 50 years of age
- Patients with a clinical diagnosis of HZ as evidenced by a unilateral dermatomal rash
- Patients with zoster-related pain (ZBPI worst pain score > 0)
- Patients able to be enrolled into the study ≤ 72 hours from appearance of rash (i.e.,
lesions or vesicles)
- Patients providing written informed consent
- Patients who are able to complete all study visits per protocol
- Men and premenopausal women must agree to practice a barrier method of birth control
plus the use of a spermicide for one month after the last dose of study drug (oral
contraceptives are not permitted)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Women who are pregnant or lactating
- Patients with multidermatomal or disseminated HZ (i.e., > 20 vesicles beyond the
dermatomes adjacent to the primarily involved dermatome)
- Patients with HZ ophthalmicus, defined as cutaneous lesions in the dermatome
associated with the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve
- Patients with history of impaired renal function, (e.g., calculated creatinine
clearance <50 mL/min/1.73 m2)
- Patients taking narcotic analgesic routinely for a chronic pain condition
- Patients taking tricyclic antidepressants
- Patients who have received systemic antivirals with activity against VZV within the
past 30 days, or a topical antiviral to treat their current HZ
- Patients who are immunosuppressed from:
- disease (e.g., malignancy [present or remission < 5 years], HIV)
- corticosteroid use (except intermittent or topical/inhaled beclomethasone
dipropionate or equivalent < 800 mcg/day), or
- other immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapy (cancer chemotherapy or organ
transplantation)
- Patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction that could interfere with drug absorption
- Patients with any other condition (e.g., extensive psoriasis, chronic pain syndrome,
cognitive impairment) that, in the opinion of the site investigator, might interfere
with the evaluations required by the study
- Patients who are not ambulatory (bed-ridden or homebound); hospitalized patients may
be enrolled if they are ambulatory and able to complete the study requirements
- Patients with history of allergy to valacyclovir hydrochloride
- Patients unlikely to adhere to protocol follow-up
- Patients taking CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole,
telithromycin) or strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine) |
