Active clinical trials for "Herpes Zoster"

The purpose of this study is to observe the occurrence of adverse reaction and antibody positive rate, the elevated level of antibody，Geometric mean titer (GMT) between groups of live attenuated varicella vaccine without gelatin.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and tolerability of V212 when administered to adults with solid tumor malignancy (STM) receiving chemotherapy and to assess the impact of V212 on the development of herpes zoster (HZ) in adults with STM receiving chemotherapy. The primary hypothesis is that vaccination with V212 will reduce the incidence of HZ compared with placebo in adults with STM (lower bound of the 97.5% {one-sided α=0.0125} confidence interval [CI] for the estimated vaccine efficacy in adults with STM be >25%). Participants with hematologic malignancy (HM) were also enrolled and were to be originally included in the primary and secondary objectives and analyses. After an interim analysis demonstrated clear evidence of futility of V212 in the HM population, enrollment of this population was stopped and all HM-related objectives and analyses were made exploratory and are not reported in this record.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of inactivated VZV vaccine for the prevention of HZ and HZ-related complications in adult recipients of autologous hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs). The primary hypothesis is that vaccination with V212 vaccine will reduce the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) compared to placebo when administered to recipients of HCT. The statistical criterion for success requires that the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the estimated vaccine efficacy in the V212 recipients (excluding the high-antigen lot) compared with that in the placebo recipients is >25%.

The purpose of this study is to assess non-inferiority of two different vaccination regimens using GSK Biological's MMRV vaccine (two doses at 9 and 15 months) or Priorix™ (9 months) and one dose of MMRV vaccine (15 months) to the current standard of care which is Priorix™ administered at 9 months of age followed by concomitant administration of Priorix™ with Varilrix™ at 15 months of age in a measles endemic environment such as India.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' candidate Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine in healthy ethnic Japanese adults.

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of gamma-irradiated varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine A (Part 1) and gamma-irradiated VZV vaccine B and C (Part 2) and to determine if they were immunogenic when administered to healthy individuals, as measured by VZV-specific antibody responses by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA). The primary hypothesis was that gamma-irradiated VZV vaccine A (Part 1) and gamma-irradiated VZV vaccine B and C (Part 2) would elicit an acceptable VZV-specific immune response. The secondary hypothesis for Part 1 of the study was that heat-treated VZV vaccine would elicit an acceptable VZV-specific immune response.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the general safety of ZOSTAVAX™ in subjects 60 years of age or older as required by the FDA.

The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and immunogenicity data for the refrigerator-stable formulation of ZOSTAVAX(R) in taiwanese adults.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a licensed zoster vaccine, ZOSTAVAX® (Zoster Vaccine Live) in 40 subjects, age 18 years or older, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are scheduled to receive a living donor kidney transplant. ZOSTAVAX® is not licensed for use in immunosuppressed persons and in the United States for individuals less than 50 years of age. Subjects will receive either ZOSTAVAX® vaccine or placebo (inactive substance) no less than 4 weeks prior to their kidney transplant. Study procedures include: physical exam, blood samples and documentation of daily temperatures and/or side effects in a diary following vaccination. Participants may be involved in study related procedures for up to 18 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine the immunity (the body's protection) against shingles after receiving two doses of an investigational vaccine or placebo (a look alike vaccine with no active ingredients).
