About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blinded, Multi-center Phase III Confirmatory Study to Assess the Immunogenicity and Safety of NBP608 Compared to Zostavax in Healthy Adult Aged 50 and Over

This study assesses non-inferiority by comparing GMR(Geometric Mean Ratio) of NBP608 to Zostavax which are evaluated by gpELISA (Glycoprotein Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay). Total of 824 healthy subjects (412 subjects per treatment arm) aged 50 and over are enrolled, and each subject is administered with single dose of vaccine which is randomly assigned.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double blinded, parallel-group study to assess the Immunogenicity and safety of NBP608 compared to Zostavax which are indicated for the prevention of herpes zoster. Total of 824 healthy subjects aged 50 and over are enrolled, and each subject is administered with single dose of vaccine which is randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio. Stratified randomization for age group is used to achieve the balance of treatment assignment within age strata.

Total of five visits are scheduled including two visits via telephone contact. Blood sampling is conducted for immunogenicity assessment before and 6 weeks after vaccination at Visit 2 and Visit 4 respectively. Safety is monitored 1 week, 6 weeks and 26 weeks after vaccination through Visit 3*, Visit 4 and Visit 5* (* telephone contact)

What is being measured

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

  1. GMR(Geometric Mean Ratio) of VZV(Varicella-Zoster Virus) antibody titer measured by gpELISA(Glycoprotein Enzyme-Linked Immnosorbent Assay)

    The geometric mean fold rise of subjects' VZV(Varicella zoster virus) antibody titers of NBP608 from prevaccination to 6weeks postvaccination

    Measured: 6 weeks after IP(Investigational Product) vaccination

  2. GMR(Geometric Mean Ratio) ratio of NBP608 to Zostavax measured by gpELISA

    Non-inferiority assessment by comparing GMR(Geometric Mean Ratio) of NBP608 to Zostavax

    Measured: 6 weeks after IP(Investigational Product) vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. VZV-CMI(Varicella Zoster Virus-Cell Mediated Immnogenicity) response measured by IFN-γ(Interferon-gamma) ELISPOT (Enzyme-Linked Immunospot)

    Measured: 6 weeks after IP(Investigational Product) vaccination

  2. VZV-CMI(Varicella Zoster Virus-Cell Mediated Immnogenicity) response measured by IL-2(Interleukin-2) ELISPOT (Enzyme-Linked Immunospot)

    Measured: 6 weeks after IP(Investigational Product) vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NBP608 and Zostavax in people with Herpes Zoster, run by SK Chemicals Co., Ltd. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 19 Apr 2017. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

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?

GMR(Geometric Mean Ratio) of VZV(Varicella-Zoster Virus) antibody titer measured by gpELISA(Glycoprotein Enzyme-Linked Immnosorbent Assay) (time frame: 6 weeks after IP(Investigational Product) vaccination). The study lists 2 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 NCT03120364, which also lists 2 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 19 Apr 2017.
