About

This phase 2 study in China will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the Recombinant Zoster Vaccine, LYB004 in adults aged 40 years and older.

Full description

A randomized, observer-blinded, parallel-controlled trial will be conducted to observe the immunogenicity and safety of LYB004 in adults aged 40 years and older. A total of 840 participants aged 40 years and older will be enrolled. Four formulations of LYB004 will be provided: two dose levels of antigen and two dose levels of adjuvant. Participants aged 40-49 years old will randomly receive four investigational vaccines and the placebo in a 2:2:2:2:1 ratio. Participants aged 50 years and older will randomly receive four investigational vaccines, positive control and the placebo in a 2:2:2:2:2:1 ratio.

Enrollment: 840 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 40+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
