Comparative Study of Two Vaccination Schedules for the Subunit Herpes Zoster Vaccine in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disease Patients Treated With Anti-CD20 Therapy: an Open-label Randomised Controlled Trial (TACTIC)

7 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: University Hospital, Toulouse

Immunocompromised individuals, such as patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or diseases of the neuromyelitis optica spectrum (NMOSD) treated with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, present an increased risk of shingles. The immunogenicity - and therefore the clinical effectiveness - of the recombinant vaccine against the varicella zoster virus based on glycoprotein E, recently recommended according to two-dose schedule two months apart in immunocompromised patients aged ≥ 18 years, could be significantly decreased when administered one month before and one month after the infusion of anti-CD20.

We hypothesize that, in patients with MS or NMOSD treated with anti-CD20 administered every six months, a two-dose M0-M6 vaccination schedule consisting of deferring the second dose six months after the first infusion, that is, five months after the anti-CD20 infusion, could improve vaccine immunogenicity and, consequently, the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Descrizione dettagliata

Shingles, caused by reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV), is a common condition in immunocompromised people. Its prevention, which has long remained a medical need unmet among these patients, was improved thanks to the availability of the recombinant glycoprotein-based VZV vaccine E (gE). Based on demonstrated clinical efficacy and safety profile in the general population as well as in immunocompromised patients, this vaccine is recommended in France according to a two-person schedule doses spaced two months apart in immunocompromised patients aged ≥ 18 years. However, further studies are needed in order to optimize vaccination strategies according to the different types of immunosuppression.

Patients with MS or NMOSD, who are at increased risk of herpes zoster, are extensively treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, which are known to significantly alter immune responses to vaccines, in particular when vaccination is carried out early after the infusion of anti-CD20.

We hypothesize that in patients with MS or NMOSD treated with anti-CD20 administered every six months, a two-dose M0-M6 vaccination schedule, consisting of deferring the second dose to six months after the first, that is, five months after the anti-CD20 infusion, could improve vaccine immunogenicity and, consequently, the effectiveness of the vaccine.

In this phase IV randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel-group trial, we will compare, within a homogeneous population of patients with MS or NMOSD receiving antiCD20, the humoral response induced by a two-dose vaccination schedule administered at 2 months (M0-M2, "2-month" or standard group) or 6 months (M0-M6, "6-month" or experimental group). After the screening and inclusion phase, patients randomized to the M0-M2 (standard) and M0-M6 (experimental) groups will receive a first dose of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (RZV) one month before the next scheduled infusion of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (M1). The second dose of RZV will be given at either 2 months ("2-month group", M2) or 6 months ("6-month group", M6). Patients will receive their usual anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody infusions at the appropriate time M1, M7 and M13. The primary outcome will be evaluated one month after the second vaccine dose (M3 for the "2 months" group and M7 for the "6 months" group). The kinetics, intensity, and persistence of humoral and cellular immune responses, as well as safety, will be analyzed as criteria for secondary judgments during the scheduled follow-up visits until M13.

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Humoral vaccine response rate for IgG anti-VZV gE response
Lasso di tempo: 3 months for the " 2 months " group and 7 months for the " 6 months " group
It will be defined as the proportion of patients with at least a 4-fold increase in anti-VZV gE antibody titers (measured by ELISA) at 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose compared to baseline (M0), or seroconversion for those who were seronegative at M0.
3 months for the " 2 months " group and 7 months for the " 6 months " group

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
The humoral response in terms of Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) at 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose.
Lasso di tempo: 3 months for the " 2 months " group and 7 months for the " 6 months " group

It will be assessed by the ratio (M0-M6 versus M0-M2 groups) of the adjusted Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of anti-VZV gE IgG at 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose.

The adjusted GMT will correspond to the GMT at 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose conditionally to the means of the log transformed GMT before vaccination at baseline (M0) calculated across the treatment groups.
3 months for the " 2 months " group and 7 months for the " 6 months " group
Composite criteria of the humoral response up to M13
Lasso di tempo: 13 months
The kinetics, intensity and persistance will be assessed by the Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of anti-VZV gE IgG measured at baseline (M0) and up to M13: before the 2nd vaccine dose, 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose, and prior to the next anti CD20 infusions at M7 and M13.
13 months
Composite criteria of the cellular response at 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose
Lasso di tempo: 3 months for the " 2 months " group and 7 months for the " 6 months " group

It will be assessed by the cellular vaccine response rate for gE-specific CD4[AIM+] T response measured 1 month after the 2nd vaccine dose.

The cellular VRR is defined as the proportion of patients with a proportion of gE-specific CD4[AIM+] T cells at least 2 times above the cutoff after vaccination.

The proportion of gE-specific CD4[AIM+] T cells among CD4 T cells is defined by the proportion of CD4 T cells expressing at least one Activation-Induced Marker (AIM), as detected by flow cytometry, following in vitro stimulation with a peptide pool covering the entire ectodomain of gE. The AIM include CD69, CD25, OX40, CD40L, and CD137. We will determine the cut-off of gE-specific CD4[AIM+] T cells by assessing cellular immune responses across a range of non-vaccinated, healthy individuals.
