Brief Summary

Background: People who have cancer tend to get sick more often. This is in part because of the cancer treatments they get. Because of this, they may get shingles. Scientists had thought people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) should not get the shingles vaccine. Now there is a new shingles vaccine that is not live and cannot cause shingles. The new shingles vaccine may protect people with weak immune systems from getting shingles. This is currently shown to be safe to give people 50 years and older to prevent shingles. Researchers want to test how safe the vaccine is and how it works in people with CLL. Objective: To learn how a new shingles vaccine works in people who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with CLL or SLL who are not being treated for CLL or who are getting certain treatments. Design: Participants will be screened with a chart review or through another protocol. Visit 1 At visit 1, participants may have a pregnancy test, blood test, or physical exam. Pregnant participants cannot be in the study. Eligible participants will get the shingles vaccine as an injection. Participants will receive a diary and write down any symptoms they have for 7 days after the vaccines. Visit 2 Visit 2 will be 3 months later. Participants will have blood taken and get another dose of the vaccine. Participants will receive a diary and write down any symptoms they have for 7 days after the vaccines. Visit 3 Visit 3 will be 3 months after visit 2. Participants will have blood taken. Participants may be able to get an additional vaccine the same day as the shingles vaccine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Seroprotective Titer

    Determine the rate of varicella zoster virus (VZV) seroprotective titer achievement in participants following completion of the SHINGRIX 2-dose vaccine series in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients that are treatment naive or receiving therapy with a Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitor (Ibrutinib or Acalabrutinib). The response criteria for achieving serologic response against VZV following the SHINGRIX vaccine are based on a validated luciferase immunoprecipitation assay detecting VZV antiglycoprotein E antibody. The primary endpoint is serologic response defined as ≥ four-fold rises in VZV anti-gE blood. IgG titer achievement after completing the SHINGRIX (RZV) 2-dose vaccine series.

    6 months after the first vaccine administration

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants That Experienced Serious Adverse Events Following the SHINGRIX Vaccine Among Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients.

    6 months after the first vaccine administration

  • Number of Participants That Did Not Complete Study Due to Intolerance of the SHINGRIX Vaccine Among Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients.

    6 months after the first vaccine administration

Study Arms (3)

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients That Are Treatment Naive

EXPERIMENTAL

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients That Are Treatment Naive will be followed for 6 months and receive assessment of serologic response 6- months following the first SHINGRIX vaccine dose.

Biological: Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients Receiving Treatment With Ibrutinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients Receiving Treatment With Ibrutinib will be followed for 6 months and receive assessment of serologic response 6- months following the first SHINGRIX vaccine dose.

Biological: Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients Receiving Treatment With Acalabrutinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients Receiving Treatment With Acalabrutinib will be followed for 6 months and receive assessment of serologic response 6- months following the first SHINGRIX vaccine dose.

Biological: Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted

Interventions

A series of 2 doses of SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted) will be given on a 0- and 3-month schedule by intramuscular injection.
