Summary

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' investigational Herpes Zoster vaccine GSK1437173A when administered as 2 doses or 3 doses to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects who the investigator believes that they can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol;
  • Male and female subjects at least 18 years old at the time of vaccination;
  • Serological evidence of prior VZV infection for all subjects born in 1980 or later and for subjects born outside the US before 1980 in a tropical or sub-tropical region. No testing for serological evidence of prior VZV infection is required for US subjects born before 1980;
  • Has undergone autologous HCT within the past 50-70 days for treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T or B cell), myeloma or acute myeloid leukemia, and there are no plans for additional HCTs
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject;
  • If the subject is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential or if she is of childbearing potential, she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative pregnancy test and continue such precautions for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Use of any investigational non-registered product other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period;
  • Administration or planned administration of a vaccine that is not part of the study protocol since transplantation. However licensed non-replicating vaccines (i.e. inactivated and subunit vaccines, including inactivated and subunit influenza vaccines, with or without adjuvant) may be administered up to 8 days prior to dose 1;
  • Administration of immunoglobulins since transplantation;
  • Previous vaccination against varicella or HZ;
  • History of HZ within the previous 12 months;
  • Known exposure to VZV since transplantation;
  • Evidence of active infection at the time of enrollment including a temperature of ≥ 37.5° C or any serious HCT-related complication;
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine;
  • Hypersensitivity or intolerance to acyclovir or valacyclovir;
  • Pregnant or lactating female.
