Month 30 & 42 Extension Studies of CRD-004 Primary Study

GlaxoSmithKline34 enrolled

Overview

The safety and immunogenicity of the GSK324332A vaccine has been evaluated up to Month 12 post-vaccination in the primary study. In the extension studies presented here, the persistence of the cellular and humoral immune responses will be evaluated 30 and 42 months after the first vaccination in young and elderly adults who received the GSK324332A vaccine. This protocol posting deals only with objectives \& outcome measures of the extension phase at Months 30 and 42. No new recruitment will be done in these extension phases of the primary study. No vaccines are administered in this phase of the study.

All subjects in these extension phases of the study were previously vaccinated with the investigational herpes zoster vaccine GSK1437173A. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007. Further details on the primary study can be found on our GSK study register (https://www.gsk-studyregister.com/advanced-search) by searching on the GSK study identifier 101501.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects who the investigator believes that they can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study; * Subjects who successfully completed the primary study and who did not receive Varilrix in the primary study; * Written informed consent obtained from the subject; * Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) within 1 month preceding the study start, or planned use during the study period; * Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within three months prior to the first study procedure, including corticosteroids, except inhaled and topical steroids are allowed; * Administration or planned administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 2 weeks before the first study procedure, with the exception of the Influenza vaccine, which can be administered 1 week preceding the first study procedure; * Previous vaccination against HZ, except the study vaccine administered in the primary study; * History of HZ (shingles); * Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination; * Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months preceding the first study procedure or planned administration during the study period.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Frequencies of Glycoprotein E (gE)-Specific Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) / CD8 T Cells With at Least Two Antigen-specific Cytokines: Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ), Interleukin 2 (IL-2), Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α), CD 40 Ligand (CD40L).

The analysis focused on those gE-specific CD4 T cells secreting at least two different cytokines among IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, and CD40L as determined by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). No analysis of the immunogenicity data on CD8 T cell response to gE was performed, since no long-term vaccine effect on gE-specific CD8 T cell response was detected.

Time frame: At Month 30 after the first vaccination.

Frequencies of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Specific CD4 / CD8 T Cells With at Least Two Antigen-specific Cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L).

The analysis focused on those VZV-specific CD4 T cells secreting at least two different cytokines among IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L as determined by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). No analysis of the immunogenicity data on CD8 T cell response to VZV was performed, since no long-term vaccine effect on VZV-specific CD8 T cell response was detected.

Time frame: At Month 30 after the first vaccination

Frequencies of Glycoprotein E (gE)-Specific CD4 / CD8 T Cells With at Least Two Antigen-specific Cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L).

The analysis focused on those gE-specific CD4 T cells secreting at least two different cytokines among IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L as determined by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). No analysis of the immunogenicity data on CD8 T cell response to gE was performed, since no long-term vaccine effect on gE-specific CD8 T cell response was detected.

Time frame: At Month 42 after the first vaccination

Frequencies of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)-Specific CD4 / CD8 T Cells With at Least Two Antigen-specific Cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L).

Secondary Outcomes

Frequencies of gE- and VZV-specific CD4/CD8 T Cells With Antigen-specific IFN-γ and/or IL-2 and/or TNF-α and/or CD40L Secretion/Expression.

The analysis focused on those gE- and VZV-specific CD4 T cells secreting any cytokines among IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, CD40L as determined by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). No analysis of the immunogenicity data on CD8 T cell response to gE or VZV was performed, since no long-term vaccine effect on gE- and VZV-specific CD8 T cell response was detected.

Time frame: At Months 30 and 42 after the first vaccination

Anti-gE Antibody (Ab) Concentrations

As determined by the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and expressed as ELISA units per milliliter (EL.U/mL).

Time frame: At months 30 and 42 after the first vaccination

Anti-VZV Ab Concentrations

As determined by the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and expressed as ELISA units per milliliter (EL.U/mL).

Time frame: At months 30 and 42 after the first vaccination

Frequencies of gE-specific Memory B Cells

As determined by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot (ELISPOT) assay.

Time frame: At months 30 and 42 after the first vaccination

Time frame: At months 30 and 42 after the first vaccination

Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
