Overview
Brief Summary
The purposes of the study are to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different dose levels of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (CHO Cells) with 2 doses at 2-month intervals in healthy subjects aged 30 years and older.
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The incidence and severity of adverse events
Time Frame: Within 30 days after each vaccination
Incidence and severity of adverse events within 30 days after each vaccination. The severity of solicited and unsolicited adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 4, other adverse events will be graded from grade 1 to grade 5.
Seroresponse rate of anti-gE antibody
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
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.
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of anti-gE antibody concentration
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
The antibody concentration at month 1 after the last vaccination compared with that at baseline (Day 0).
Vaccine Response Rate (VRR)
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
VRR is defined as the percentage of participants with T-cell frequencies are ≥Cut-off value, for participants with T-cell frequencies\<Cut-off at baseline, OR, at least a 2-fold increase as compared to baseline for participants with T-cell frequencies ≥Cut-off value at baseline.
Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-gE antibody
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
Measured by ELISA.
Four-fold increase rate of anti-gE antibody concentration
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
The antibody concentration at month 1 after the last vaccination compared with that at baseline (Day 0).
Seropositivity rate of anti-gE antibody
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
The seropositivity rate is defined as the percentage of seropositive subjects. A seronegative subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is below the cut-off value. A seropositive subject is a subject whose antibody concentration is greater than or equal to the cut-off value.
Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) response
Time Frame: Month 1 after the last vaccination
CMI response is defined as the frequency of CD4+ T cells producing at least 2 activation markers (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α and/or CD40L) upon in vitro stimulation by gE peptide pools.
