Receives: Biological: Placebo

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) Episode

    A suspected case of HZ was defined as (1) a new rash characteristic of HZ (e.g., unilateral, dermatomal and accompanied by pain broadly defined to include allodynia, pruritus or other sensations), or a vesicular rash suggestive of VZV infection regardless of the distribution, and no alternative diagnosis; or (2) a clinical presentation (symptoms and/or signs) and specific laboratory findings* suggestive of VZV infection in the absence of characteristic HZ or VZV rash.

    A suspected case of HZ was confirmed either: by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by the HZ Ascertainment Committee (HZAC), consisting of physicians with HZ expertise.

    Measured: From Month 0 until the cut-off date for final analysis (median follow-up was of 21 months)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Duration of 'Worst' HZ-associated Pain

    Duration of HZ-associated pain rated as 3 or greater on the 'worst pain' Zoster Brief Pain Inventory (ZBPI) question, following the onset of a confirmed HZ rash over the entire pain reporting period in subjects with confirmed HZ; presented as T (day) [=the sum of follow-up period (for subjects without severe worst pain T is 1, for subjects with severe worst pain T is the duration of severe worst pain) expressed in days].

    Measured: From Month 0 until study end (4 years approximately), from the onset of a confirmed HZ rash over the entire pain reporting period

  2. Number of Subjects With Confirmed HZ-associated Complications

    This analysis excluded complications that were linked to a confirmed HZ case that occurred after the start of the relapse treatment.

    Measured: From Month 0 until the cut-off date for final analysis (median follow-up was of 21 months)

  3. Number of Subjects With Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)

    This analysis excluded PHN episodes that were linked to a confirmed HZ case that occurred after the start of the relapse treatment.

    Measured: From Month 0 until study end (21 months median follow-up)

  4. Antigen-glycoprotein E (gE) Antibody Concentrations in a Sub-cohort of Subjects

    Anti-gE antibody concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). The seropositivity cut-off value was greater than or equal to (≥) 97 mIU/mL.

    Measured: At Months 0, 1, 2, 13 and 25

  5. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 100 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses

  6. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering and fever [defined as axillary/tympanic temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C) or rectal temperature equal to or above 38.0 °C]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses

  7. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 30-day (Days 0-29) post-vaccination period

  8. Number of Subjects With Any and Related Potential Immune Mediated Diseases (pIMDs)

    Potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs) are a subset of AEs that include autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders of interest which may or may not have an autoimmune aetiology.

    Measured: From Month 0 up to 365 days post last vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects With Any Relapse

    Relapse was defined as the occurrence of the underlying malignancy or disease for which the HCT was undertaken.

    Measured: From Month 0 until study end (approximate median of 29 months follow-up - minimum 1 year and maximum 4 years)

  10. Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Related SAEs to GSK Study Vaccine/Placebo

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. This enpoint also presents SAES related to the GSK study vaccine/placebo.

    Measured: From Month 0 until 365 days post last vaccination (approximate median of 29 months follow-up - minimum 1 year and maximum 4 years)

  11. Number of Subjects With Fatal SAEs and SAEs Related to Study Participation or to a GSK Concomitant Medication or Vaccination

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. This endpoint presents fatal SAEs and SAEs related to study participation or to a concurrent GSK medication/vaccine.

    Measured: From the Pre-vaccination visit (Up to 110 days prior Month 0) until study end (approximate median of 29 months follow-up minimum 1 year and maximum 4 years)

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 23 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 178 sites in Spain, United States, Germany, Japan, Australia and 23 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 23 Jan 2018). 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) Episode (time frame: From Month 0 until the cut-off date for final analysis (median follow-up was of 21 months)). 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 NCT01610414, which also lists 4 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 23 Jan 2018.
