Biological and Clinical Efficacy of Shingrix in Patients With CLL

May 8, 2024 updated by: Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto

Biological and Clinical Efficacy of Recombinant Zoster Vaccine (Shingrix) in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This is a biological study. Patients who are eligible to receive Shingrix through the Italian National Health System will be invited to participate in the study. According to AIFA indication, the two doses of vaccine will be administered 4-8 weeks apart. Blood samples will be collected prior to the first vaccine dose (i.e. within the time frame of 3 months prior to the first dose) and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the second vaccine dose to evaluate the serological response of Shingrix.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-centre, prospective study, performed on biological samples only. Patients who are eligible to receive Shingrix through the Italian National Health System will be invited to participate in the study.

According to AIFA indication, the two doses of vaccine will be administered 4-8 weeks apart.

Blood samples will be collected prior to the first vaccine dose (i.e. within the time frame of 3 months prior to the first dose) and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the second vaccine dose to evaluate the serological response of Shingrix. All protocol procedures (including clinical assessment and blood draws) will be performed during regular follow-up visits according to clinical practice. No additional invasive/dangerous/painful procedures will be required by the study.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
312

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) or CLL-like MBL according to IWCLL guidelines. Patients must belong to one of the following subgroups:

    • Group A: Patients with MBL or previously untreated early-phase CLL/SLL (Binet stage A or RAI stage 0), with no clear signs of disease progression;
    • Group B: Patients with active or symptomatic disease according to IWCLL guidelines or with advanced Binet or Rai stages receiving both the first and second vaccine doses before treatment initiation;
    • Group C: Patients with CLL/SLL receiving targeted drugs (i.e. ibrutinib/acalabrutinib-based treatment or venetoclax-based treatment) for at least 6 months prior to the administration of the first vaccine dose.
  • Age 18 years or older
  • Eligible to receive Shingrix according to clinical indication and free of charge through the Italian National Health System
  • Life expectancy >6 months
  • No active, symptomatic herpes zoster infection or varicella-zoster virus reactivation within 12 months prior to vaccination
  • No prior exposure to Shingrix
  • Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients who are currently in pregnancy or are willing to be pregnant
  • Any uncontrolled active systemic infection
  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration within 3 months prior to vaccination
  • Concomitant use of radiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • Hereditary or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome unrelated to CLL
  • Chronic use of immunosuppressive medications given for indications that are not CLL-related

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Serologic response evaluation
Time Frame: at 1 month
Rate of positive serologic response to Shingrix in different subsets of patients as determined by antibody response to varicella-zoster virus (≥4-fold increase in anti-gE titer from baseline)
at 1 month

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.
