Active clinical trials for "Herpes Zoster"

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ in Korean adults. Approximately 180 herpes zoster history negative subjects ≥ 50 years of age will be enrolled in the study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ZOSTAVAX™. No statistical hypothesis testing will be conducted in the study.

This study will compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine made with an alternative manufacturing process with those of the 2006 process

The purpose of this study is to observe the occurrence of adverse events, seroconversion rate and geometric mean titres(GMTs) of 2 doses of live attenuated varicella vaccine.

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 obtain safety and immunogenicity data for the refrigerator-stable formulation of ZOSTAVAX(R) in taiwanese adults.

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 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 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 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).
