Physician-practice Based Cohort Study to Estimate the Burden of Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia in Japan

The study aims to estimate the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ), proportion of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and the economic burden and impact on quality of life, in Japanese adults greater than or equal to sixty years of age.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

60 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Japanese adults, male or female, greater than or equal to sixty years of age, presenting with HZ at the participating sites.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
  • A male or female greater than or equal to sixty years of age, presenting with HZ at the time of enrollment.

  • HZ diagnosis.

    • Is the subject's first outpatient diagnosis for this HZ episode. OR
    • Took place up to seven days prior to the initial visit for the present study. Note: Recurrent HZ cases may be enrolled as new cases based on the investigator's clinical practice.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Not applicable.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Total number of HZ cases reported in the study area, overall and within a specific age-group and gender. The following age-groups will be considered: 60-69, 70-79 and ≥ 80 years of age.
Time Frame: Approximately 1 year
Approximately 1 year
Occurrence of HZ-associated PHN pain, persisting between 90 and 270 days after the initial visit for this study.
Time Frame: Day 90 - Day 270
Day 90 - Day 270

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Occurrence of HZ-associated hospitalisations.
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 270
Day 0 - Day 270
Occurrence of HZ-associated any pain, persisting between 0 and 270 days after the initial visit for this study.
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 270
Day 0 - Day 270
Anamnestic information, clinical parameters and complications related to HZ.
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 270
Day 0 - Day 270
Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs related to HZ.
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 90
Day 0 - Day 90
Quality of life (QoL) assessment in HZ subjects.
Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 90
Day 0 - Day 90
Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs related to PHN.
Time Frame: Day 90 - Day 270
Day 90 - Day 270
QoL assessment in PHN subjects.
Time Frame: Day 90 - Day 270
Day 90 - Day 270
Impact of the following factors on the development of PHN: - age, - gender, - concomitant disease, - current immunosuppressive therapy, - HZ severity at first consultation, - timing of initiation of treatment with antiviral agent etc.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
