About this study

Official title: Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity Study of GSK Biologicals' Herpes Zoster Vaccine GSK1437173A in Adults Aged 50 Years or Older

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' candidate Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine in adults aged ≥ 50 years.

Two studies [ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229)] are being conducted concurrently to evaluate efficacy of GSK1437173A vaccine. A pooled analysis of data from both studies combined will be conducted contingent on each study achieving its objectives. The protocol posting of study ZOSTER-022 also deals with the outcome measures related to the pooled analysis.

Read the detailed description

This protocol summary has been updated following Protocol Amendment 4 changes to study objectives and endpoints and the analyses of the objectives in 2 steps.

Step 1 will include analyses of the following objectives of ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177): all HZ VE objectives and all reactogenicity/safety and immunogenicity objectives. At step 2, all objectives of study ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) will be analyzed. Objectives already analyzed at step 1 will be re-analyzed (confirmatory descriptive in case of inferential analysis at step 1 or descriptive analysis otherwise). At step 2, pooled analyses of studies ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229) are planned; overall PHN VE in subjects ≥ 70 YOA, and other pre-specified endpoints will be analyzed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With Confirmed Herpes Zoster (HZ) Cases

    Confirmed HZ cases during the study were assessed in the Modified Total Vaccinated Cohort (mTVc)

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (21)

  1. Number of Subjects With Any Episodes of Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)

    The incidence of PHN was calculated using the modified total vaccinated chort.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  2. Number of Subjects With a Reduction of Duration of Severe 'Worst' HZ-associated Pain

    Severe 'worst' pain was defined as HZ-associated pain rated as 3 or above on the 'worst pain' Zoster Brief Pain Inventory (ZBPI) questionnaire. The outcome assessed the duration of severe 'worst' HZ-associated pain following the onset of a confirmed HZ rash over the entire pain reporting period as measured by the ZBPI in subjects with confirmed HZ. This analysis involved any subject reporting clinically significant pain (i.e. pain with a score of 3 or more on a 0-10 point scale) at any time during the study.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  3. Number of Subjects With Confirmed HZ Episode Related Mortality

    The analysis focused on the number of subjects who died due to HZ

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  4. Number of Subjects With HZ Related Complications

    The analysis focused on the incidence of HZ complications in subjects with confirmed HZ

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  5. Number of Subjects With Confirmed HZ Episode Related Hospitalizations

    The analysis focused on confirmed HZ episode related hospitalizations.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  6. Number of Subjects With a Confirmed HZ Episode Having a Reduction of Duration of Pain Medication Associated With HZ

    The analysis focused on patients who experienced a reduction in duration of pain medication administered for HZ in subjects with confirmed HZ.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  7. Number of Subjects With a Confirmed HZ Episode Taking Pain Medication Associated With HZ

    The analysis focused on subjects taking pain medication due to HZ

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  8. Number of Days With Severe 'Worst' HZ-associated Pain.

    Severe 'worst' pain was defined as HZ-associated pain rated as 3 or above on the 'worst pain' ZBPI questionnaire. This Outcome Measure was only assessed participants with confirmed HZ. This analysis involved any subject reporting ZBPI clinically significant pain (i.e. pain with a score of 3 or more on a 0-10 point scale) at any time during the study.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  9. Number of Subjects With Confirmed HZ Episode Related Mortality and Hospitalizations

    The analysis focused on confirmed HZ episode related hospitalizations and deaths.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  10. Number of Subjects With HZ Related Complications, by Complication Type

    Complication types included HZ vasculitis, Disseminated Disease, Ophtalmic Disease, Neurologic Disease, Visceral Disease and Stroke. This Outcome Measure was only assessed participants with confirmed HZ.

    Measured: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)

  11. Distribution of Pain Medication Associated With HZ

    The distribution of pain medication included 1 to 3 or more separate medications. This Outcome Measure was only assessed on participants with confirmed HZ.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Herpes Zoster Vaccine GSK1437173A in people with Herpes Zoster, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 274 sites in 18 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 10 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 274 sites in United States, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Japan and 13 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects With Confirmed Herpes Zoster (HZ) Cases (time frame: During the entire study period (3 to 5 year period following Day 0)). 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 NCT01165177, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 10 Feb 2021.
