March 14, 2017 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

An Open-label, Single-arm, Multi-center, Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ in Healthy Adults in Korea

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ in Korean adults. Approximately 180 herpes zoster history negative subjects ≥ 50 years of age will be enrolled in the study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ZOSTAVAX™. No statistical hypothesis testing will be conducted in the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) From Day 1 in Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody
Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 4 postvaccination
Blood samples collected prevaccination on Day 1 and Week 4 postvaccination were analyzed using a glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) to detect Immunoglobulin G antibody to VZV. The GMFR reports the geometric mean of the ratio of individual participant VZV antibody titers at Week 4 postvaccination / Day 1 (Baseline).
Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 4 postvaccination
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of VZV Antibody
Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and 4 weeks postvaccination
Blood samples collected prevaccination on Day 1 and Week 4 postvaccination were analyzed using a gpELISA to detect Immunoglobulin G antibody to VZV
Day 1 (Baseline) and 4 weeks postvaccination
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Adverse Experiences
Time Frame: Up to 42 days postvaccination
An adverse experience was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse experience.
Up to 42 days postvaccination
Percentage of Participants Discontinued Due to Clinical Adverse Experiences
Time Frame: Up to 42 days postvaccination
Up to 42 days postvaccination
