  • Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or post-menopause.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:
  • has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and

  • has agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entire treatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.
  • Male subjects may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:
  • has agreed to practice adequate contraception (until 2 months after completion of the vaccination series).

Who cannot join

  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine/product, or planned use during the study period.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine/product dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone >= 0.5 mg/kg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
  • Concurrent or planned participation in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
  • Immunosuppression resulting from haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, AIDS or symptomatic HIV infection.
  • Previous vaccination against HZ (either a registered product or an investigational product through participation in a HZ vaccine study).
  • History of HZ.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • History of any allergic disease or reaction likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine.
  • Receipt of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
  • Receipt of any other immunisations within one month before the first study vaccination (2 weeks in the case of inactivated influenza vaccines or other non-replicating immunisation products [e.g., tetanus and reduced dose diphtheria toxoid (dT) vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, hepatitis A vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine]), or scheduled within 30 days after study vaccination.
  • Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment.
  • Fever is defined as temperature >= 37.5°C (99.5°F) on axillary setting;
  • Subjects with a minor illness (such as mild diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection) without fever may, be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Pregnant or lactating female.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Herpes Zoster Vaccine GSK 1437173A in people with Herpes Zoster, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Solicited local and general symptoms (time frame: Day 0-6 after each vaccination). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01086449, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2018.
