Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating Benzoyl Peroxide for Preventing Recurrence of HSV-1 Outbreaks With Rescue Crossover Option
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Here's a clear, concise, and accurate \*\*brief summary\*\* suitable for your ClinicalTrials.gov PRS submission: * Brief Summary: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of topical Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) in preventing recurrent oral lesions caused by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1). Participants who experience frequent HSV-1 outbreaks will be randomly assigned to either Benzoyl Peroxide or placebo treatment. The trial will be conducted via telehealth visits, with treatment provided remotely. The primary objective is to determine whether Benzoyl Peroxide significantly delays or prevents HSV-1 lesion recurrence compared to placebo. Secondary outcomes include evaluating recurrence frequency, lesion severity, healing duration, and participant satisfaction. The trial also incorporates a rescue crossover step, allowing placebo-group participants who experience recurrence to receive active treatment. Results from this pilot study will inform the potential use of Benzoyl Peroxide as a novel, accessible topical treatment option for recurrent HSV-1 outbreaks.
