NCT02960399

Brief Summary

Recommendations concerning the administration of Zostavax® in patients with antibody deficiency are unclear. The investigators plan to assess the immunogenicity and safety of Zostavax® in patients with antibody deficiency as compared with healthy volunteers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Determine in vitro changes in T cell proliferation preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax® by measurement of lymphocyte proliferation in response to VZV antigen.

    Determine in vitro lymphocyte proliferation as counts per minute after stimulation of cells with varicella zoster antigen at time points preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax. Blood samples will be obtained prior to administering the Zostavax® vaccine and post-vaccination at 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.

    Day 0, Week 4, 3 months, 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Determine in vitro changes in T cell proliferation preceding and following vaccination with Zostavax® by measurement of IFNg production by T cells in response to VZV antigen.

    Day 0, Week 4, 3 months, 6 months
