Shingrix Vaccine Study for Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

This study is looking at how well the Shingrix vaccine works and if it's safe for people who have had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. Researchers want to see if the timing after your transplant affects your body's immune response to the vaccine. They also want to find out if an extra, third dose of Shingrix, given 18-30 months after your first two doses, can improve your protection. This study will compare your immune response before and after vaccination, and also compare it to older people who haven't had a transplant. You can join if you are 18-79 years old, had your transplant at least a year ago, and have already received two doses of Shingrix.

Study design
This is a Phase 2, single-center study that is not blinded, meaning everyone knows what treatment is being given. It plans to enroll 55 participants.
What's involved
You will participate for approximately one year. During this time, you will continue your routine clinic visits and receive a third dose of the vaccine.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your immune response will be measured at one year after vaccination, and adverse events will be monitored for one year after the third dose.
