A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of an Investigational Zoster Vaccine In Subjects With a History of Varicella (Chickenpox)(V211-010)(COMPLETED)
A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of a Refrigerator-Stable Formulation of Zoster Vaccine Live (Oka/Merck)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the refrigerator-stable formulation of an investigational vaccine has a comparable immune response (the body's ability to protect against disease) and safety profile to that of the freezer-stable formulation of the vaccine.

The duration of treatment is 4 weeks.

Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Herpes Zoster
  • Biological: Comparator: zoster vaccine live (Oka/Merck) refrigerated formulation
    1 dose of 0.65-mL/dose subcutaneous injection of zoster vaccine live (Oka/Merck) refrigerated formulation at Day 1
  • Biological: Comparator: zoster vaccine live (Oka/Merck) frozen formulation
    1 dose of 0.65-mL/dose subcutaneous injection of zoster vaccine live (Oka/Meck) frozen formulation at Day 1
  • Experimental: zoster vaccine live (Oka/Merck) refrigerated formulation
    ZOSTAVAX™ with phosphate-gelatin-sucrose-urea (PGSU) stabilizer (~45,000 plaque-forming units [PFU]), 1 subcutaneous 0.65-mL injection
