A Phase 2 interventional study of GEN-003 and Matrix-M2 in Genital Herpes and HSV-2 Infection, sponsored by Genocea Biosciences, Inc.. Terminated at 8 sites in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-19.

The main purpose of this clinical study is to see if a maintenance dose of GEN-003 reduces the number of days that subjects have a genital herpes recurrence. The second purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a maintenance dose of GEN-003.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of GEN-003 in subjects who have received previous doses of GEN-003 in the GEN-003-003 clinical trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 1 intramuscular (IM) dose (the maintenance dose) of GEN-003 or placebo.
Subjects will use a daily electronic reporting tool for reporting the presence or absence of genital herpes lesions, and severity of genital herpes symptoms.
GEN-003-005 was originally designed to follow subjects for 12 months after the maintenance dose but a business decision, unrelated to product safety, was made by Genocea Biosciences in 3Q2017 to cease GEN-003 spending and activities.
