Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The clinical trial will be a single-center, randomized, blind, controlled study in which two dose levels of vaccine will be tested in healthy adults aged 30 to 49 years and 50 years and older. A total of 924 participants will be enrolled, including 396 participants aged 30 to 49 years and 528 participants aged 50 years and older. Participants aged 30 to 49 years will be randomized into three subgroups (low dose vaccine group, high dose vaccine group and placebo group) in a 1:1:1 ratio. Participants aged 50 years and older will be randomized into four subgroups (low dose vaccine group, high dose vaccine group, Shingrix® group and placebo group) in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.

The seroresponse rate is defined as the percentage of subjects who have at least a: 4-fold increase in the antibody concentration as compared to the pre vaccination antibody concentration, for subjects who are seropositive at baseline, OR, 4-fold increase in the antibody concentration as compared to the antibody concentration cut-off value for seropositivity, for subjects who are seronegative at baseline.
