NCT02704572

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal timing of zoster vaccination to induce both higher cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity in adult patients aged over 50 with history of zoster within 5 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Varicella-zoster virus-specific interferon-gamma ELISPOT response

    Investigators measure the number of SFC (spot forming cells) using interferon-gamma ELISPOT (enzyme-linked immunospot) assay at both right before vaccination and week 6 after vaccination and see the change between two values.

    before Zostavax vaccination and at week 6 after vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Antibody titer against glycoprotein of varicella-zoster virus

    before Zostavax vaccination and at week 6 after vaccination

Study Arms (2)

6months to 2years after shingles

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be vaccinated with Zostavax from 6 months to 2 years after zoster illness.

Biological: Zostavax

2years to 5years after shingles

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will be vaccinated with Zostavax from 2 years to 5 years after zoster illness.

Biological: Zostavax

Interventions

ZostavaxBIOLOGICAL

Zostavax will be administrated by subcutaneous injection.

You may qualify if:

  • Adults aged 50 years or older who have had shingles in 5 years

  • Adults who can understand and agreed with the informed consents.

You may not qualify if:

  • Adults who have conditions which is contraindication for zoster vaccine
  • Adults who had zoster vaccination already
  • Adults who take immunosuppressants
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients whose CD4 T cell counts below 500/mm3
  • Adults with autoimmune disease who are anticipated to have a problem with immunogenicity for vaccine
  • Adults who had organ transplantation and receive immunosuppressants
  • Adults who are suspected to have active infectious disease
  • Adults who are not eligible for zoster vaccination by investigator's assessment
