Registered outcomes11

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to Healing (TTH) of Vesicular Primary LesionAssessed from time of treatment initiation through Day 14
Healing was defined as the loss of crust (erythema may be present) as assessed by the investigator. TTH was the time from treatment initiation to healing as defined above and was assessed from the time of treatment initiation through Day 14. The primary vesicular lesion was the first developed lesion located on the lip and was not to have extended more than 1 cm outside the lip.
SecondaryAbortion of Primary LesionsAssessed from the time of treatment initiation through Day 14Aborted lesions were defined as herpetic lesions preceded by prodromal symptoms that did not progress beyond the papule stage.
SecondaryTTH of Non-primary Lesions (Aborted Lesions Excluded)Assessed from the time of treatment initiation through Day 14
TTH of non-primary lesions was defined as the time from treatment initiation to healing of all non-primary vesicular lesions. Non-primary lesions were those that developed in addition to and/or in 1 or more days after the primary vesicular lesion and that were located at least 1 cm from the primary lesion. Aborted lesions were not included in this parameter. TTH was to be assessed by the investigator.
SecondaryDuration of Episode (DOE)Assessed from initiation of treatment to Day 14
For patients who experienced a vesicular lesion, DOE was defined as the time from treatment initiation to healing of primary and secondary vesicular lesions (loss of crust). For subjects whose primary and secondary lesions were not vesicular in nature, DOE was defied as the time from treatment initiation to return to normal skin or to cessation of symptoms, whichever came last.
SecondaryTime to Cessation of SymptomsAssessed from time of treatment initiation through Day 14
Time to cessation of symptoms was defined as the time from treatment initiation to cessation of all symptoms: pain, burning, itching, tingling, tenderness and discomfort. It was to be assessed by the investigator.
SecondaryTTH of Aborted Primary LesionsAssessed from time of treatment initiation through Day 14
TTH of aborted primary lesions was defined as the time from treatment initiation to healing of the primary lesion (erythema or papule) or cessation of symptoms, whichever came last. It was to be assessed by the investigator.
SecondaryTime to Recurrence of Non-aborted Lesions During 9-month Follow-upFrom time of initial healing through the 9-month follow-upTime to recurrence was the time from the healing of all lesions of the initial episode to the occurrence of new lesions.
SecondaryPatient Incidence of Recurrence of Non-aborted Lesions During 9-month Follow-upFrom time of initial healing through the 9-month follow-upRecurrence was the occurrence of new lesions and was evaluated in a subgroup of patients who agreed to record recurrences during the 9-month follow-up period.
SecondarySymptom Intensity (Visual Analogue Scale [VAS])Assessed on Days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 (or within 24 hours of healing)
Patients were asked to place a tick mark on a 10 centimeter VAS indicating their symptom intensity. Scale ratings ranged from a minimum of 0 (none at all) to a maximum of 10 (worst possible). The location of the tick mark from "0" was measured in millimeters (0 - 100) and recorded.
SecondaryPatient Satisfaction With TreatmentAssessed on Day 14 (or within 24 hours of healing)At the end of study (Day 14 \[or within 24 hours of healing\]), patients were asked whether they were satisfied with treatment (yes/no).

PRIMARYTime to Healing (TTH) of Vesicular Primary LesionAssessed from time of treatment initiation through Day 14
The modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population was the population used for analysis of this endpoint. The mITT population included all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication and who reached the vesicular stage (ie, episodes that progressed through macula, papule, vesicle, crust and healing).
DaysMEDIAN
SECONDARYTime to Recurrence of Non-aborted Lesions During 9-month Follow-upFrom time of initial healing through the 9-month follow-up
This endpoint was analyzed using the follow-up population, a subgroup of the ITT population who continued to the 9 month follow-up and had at least 1 diary assessment during that period. The follow-up population was defined as patients whose lesions were healed at the end of Day 14 and had no recurrence within 15 days of healing of all lesions.
