In the pivotal clinical trials, ZOE-50 (NCT01165177) and ZOE-70 (NCT01165229), the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) showed high efficacy against herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. The incidence of reported solicited events was higher in RZV compared with placebo recipients. Methods
In these phase III, observer-blind, placebo-controlled trials conducted in 18 countries, adults ≥50 years of age (YOA, ZOE-50) and ≥70 YOA (ZOE-70), randomized 1:1, received 2 doses of RZV or placebo 2 months apart. Injection-site and general events were solicited for 7 days after each dose via diary cards in a participant subset.
