Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Revaccination GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies were revaccinated with 2 additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine at Month 0 and Month 2 in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study.
Group II: 1-Additional Dose GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies received 1 additional dose of the HZ/su vaccine at Month 0 in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study.
Group III: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants who received 2 doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies and no additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study, but who served as a control for the 2 groups that received 1 or 2 additional doses (1-Additional Dose Group and Revaccination Group).
Group IV: LTFU GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants who received at least 1 dose of the HZ/su vaccine in the ZOSTER-006/022 primary studies and no additional doses of the HZ/su vaccine in the current ZOSTER-049:EXT 006-022 study were followed up for long-term vaccine efficacy and safety.
