Pharmacokinetics

The aim of the study was to extrapolate the approved dosages of acyclovir, to valacyClovir dosages, in children using Monte Carlo simulations. There was no significant difference in drug elimination half-life or in time to peak concentration between valacy Clovir recipients at either sampling interval.

Bioavailability

Oral administration of the prodrug valacyclovir results in enhanced bioavailability. While there is no cure for these conditions, treatment to treat them can be successful.

Shedding rates were calculated by dividing the number of positive swabs by the total number of swabs for each intervention group. (NCT00362297)

Complete response (CR) defined as a disappearance of serum and urine monoclonal protein determined by immunofixation, absence of malignant cells in bone marrow determined by histologic evaluation, resolution of adenopathy/organomegaly (confirmed by computed tomography [CT] scan), and no signs or symptoms attributable to WM. Stable disease defined as neither grown nor shrunk; the amount of disease has not changed. Participants will be followed for < 6 months after receiving bortezomib/rituximab or rituximab-modified hyper-CVAD to be considered unresponsive to therapy in accordance with the guidelines of the Consensus Panel of the Third International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia.

Number of Participants With a Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infection

Viral isolation/identification was conducted if the investigator (or subinvestigator) suspected HSV infection according to the relevant clinical symptoms (oral mucositis, skin infection, genital herpes, and pneumonia). If the result of viral isolation/identification was positive, the participant concerned was defined as a case of HSV infection. For reference, a virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) identification (PCR) was simultaneously performed. (NCT01602562)

Number of Participants With the Indicated Result for the Indicated Urinalysis Parameters Tested by Dipstick at Screening, Day 14, and Day 35

Urinalysis parameters included: urine bilirubin (UB), urine occult blood (UOB), urine glucose (UG), urine ketones (UK), urine protein (UP), and urine urobilinogen (UUG). The dipstick is a strip used to detect the presence or absence of these parameters in the urine sample. The dipstick test gives results in a semi-quantitative manner, and results for urinalysis parameters can be read as negative (Neg), Trace, 1+, 2+, and 3+ (in order of increasing levels). Data are reported as the number of participants who had Neg, Trace, 1+, 2+, and 3+ levels at Screening, Day 14, and Day 35.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in this definition, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury.

Within-subject Genital HSV Mucocutaneous Shedding Rate

Subjects were assessed for within-subject genital HSV mucocutaneous shedding rate, as calculated by the number of HSV-positive swabs per subject relative to the total number of swabs collected per subject. The swab test detects the presence of herpes virus DNA. A swab was regarded as positive for HSV-DNA if at least 3 HSV genome copies were detected by quantitative PCR per reaction (equaling 150 copies per mL of swab collection medium). When multiple swabs were available from the same time point (e.g., genital and lesional swab), the swab with the highest copy number was retained for computation of the shedding rate. (NCT01658826)

The UPSA-B is a performance-based assessment of improvement in functional capacity.Participants are asked to role-play communication and finance tasks. Scores are assigned for each of the 2 subscales and formula is used to calculate a total score (0-100). A higher score reflects better performance. The Q-LES, 16 item scale yields a raw total score, ranging from 14-70, with a higher score representing higher QOL. The PSP scale is a single item scale assessing 4 domains of functioning: personal&social relationships, socially useful activities, self-care, and disturbing&aggressive behaviors. An adjusted score from 0-100 is generated, a higher score reflects better functioning. (NCT02008773)

To evaluate the efficacy of adj. valacyclovir for general and positive symptoms (sxs) as measured by the PANSS total and factor scores and negative sxs as measured by the NSA-16.The PANSS contains 30 items that assess sxs of psychotic d/os.Positive sxs are rated on 7 items, negative sxs on 7 items, and general psych. on 16 items.Scores for each item range from 1-7.Positive total scores ranging from 7-49, negative total scores ranging from 7-49, and general psych. scores ranging from 16-112.Total scores for all items range from 30-210.Additionally a factor score can be derived for Cognition/Disorganization by using scores from 7 items and ranges from 7-49.For factor and total scores a lower score reflects fewer sxs.The NSA-16 is used to rate behaviors commonly associated with negative sxs of schizophrenia.The scale rates subjects on 16 anchors from 1 to 6.The total score is the sum of the 16 specific items and ranges from 16 to 96; a higher score indicates greater severity of illness.

"To determine the efficacy of adjunctive valacyclovir, in comparison to placebo, to improve visual memory (Brief Visuospatial Memory Test) in individuals who are HSV-1 positive and early in the course of schizophrenia. The Brief Visuospatial Memory Test is a subscale of the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) and was used to assess visual memory.~The BVMT consists of three trials in which participants must recall shapes by drawing figures on a blank page after being given the opportunity to memorize the figures for 10 seconds. Each page consists of six figures. Points are awarded based on the accuracy of the drawn figure and by correct placement on the page. A minimum of 0 to 12 points are awarded per trial, so a participant can score between 0 and 36 points for all three trials. The raw score is then converted to a t-score, normed by age and sex. The min and max t-scores are between 0-100, a higher t-score representing a better outcome." (NCT02008773)

The objective response rate (ORR) of ADV/HSV-tk plus (+) valacyclovir therapy in combination with SBRT used as a window of opportunity treatment before pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic TNBC and metastatic NSCLC. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 will be used to assess treatment response. Modified immune-related response criteria (irRC; derived from RECIST 1.1) will also be documented. (NCT03004183)
Timeframe: 30 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab until disease progression, initiating a non-study cancer treatment, withdrawing consent, or becoming lost to follow-up. Median duration of follow-up was 8.3 months (95% CI 3.0-10.1 months).
