Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
An open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of inactivated VZV vaccine (V212) in participants with hematologic malignancies (HM) who are currently receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. The primary hypothesis is that vaccination with V212 vaccine will elicit significant VZV-specific immune responses at \~28 days after vaccination 4. The statistical criterion for significance requires that the lower bound of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean fold rise in immune response in V212 recipients is \>1.0.

- description
- Participants receive V212 as a 0.5 mL subcutaneous injection in a four-dose regimen, approximately 30 days apart, preferably in the deltoid area of the arm, alternating arms for each dose.

Primary outcomes (7)
- measure
- Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of the VZV-specific Immune Responses Measured by VZV Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) Enzyme-linked Immunospot (ELISPOT)
- timeFrame
- Prevaccination (Day 1) and ~28 days after Vaccination 4 (~Day 118)
- description
- The VZV ELISPOT assay detects IFN-γ-secreting, VZV-specific cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The unit of measure of the assay is ELISPOT cell count / 10\^6 PBMCs, and is expressed as geometric mean count (GMC). The GMFR is GMC at \~28 days after Vaccination 4 / GMC on Day 1.
