Study Summary

This study evaluates the safety and immune response of the Shingrix vaccine in kidney transplant recipients. Participants on the waiting list for kidney transplant will be given the standard 2 doses of Shingrix. Those participants who have been transplanted by 16 months, may be given a 3rd dose of Shingrix.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • On the waiting list at the participating institutions for renal transplantation withanticipated transplantation to occur at > 3 months to 16 months after listing.

  • Female subjects of non-childbearing potential (tubal ligation,hysterectomy,ovariectomy or post-menopausal

  • Female subjects of childbearing potential who have practiced adequate contraceptionfor 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative pregnancy test on day ofvaccination, and have agreed to continue adequate contraception during the entiretreatment period and for 2 months after completion of the vaccine series

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Therapy in the pre-transplant period that in the opinion of the investigator isimmune suppressive

  • Herpes Zoster in prior 3 years

  • Herpes zoster vaccine or varicella vaccine within 3 years of study entry

  • Any positive cPRA score prior to enrollment

  • Acute illness at the time of vaccination which in the opinion of the investigatorwill alter immune response

  • Any other active immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition resulting fromdisease (e.g. malignancy, HIV, or a medical therapy).

  • Allergy to any of the components of Shingrix

  • No investigational drugs from 30 days before enrollment or planned during the study.

  • No non-live vaccines within the 2 weeks prior to any dose of Shingrix or until 30days after any dose of Shingrix. No live virus vaccines within 4 weeks prior to anydose of Shingrix or until 30 days after any dose

  • Pregnant or lactating female

  • Multi-organ transplantation

  • Travel time from study site that is more than 2 hours for visit or transport offresh blood samples

Study Description

Herpes Zoster (HZ) is a common complication of kidney transplant because of the immune suppressive drugs necessary to prepare the recipient for the transplanted organ and to protect it from rejection. The use of the live vaccine, Zostavax, in transplant recipients is contraindicated due to their impaired immune status. This study is being done to determine vaccine responses to the FDA approved shingles vaccine, Shingrix, in patients with chronic renal failure eligible for kidney transplant. Persistence of immune responses after kidney transplantation, and immunologic advantage of a third dose of Shingrix to renal transplant recipients will be assessed. Additionally, safety, tolerability, and occurrence of HZ will be evaluated. 60 participants will be enrolled from the renal transplant services at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
