Extrait

Two co-primary objectives are: To demonstrate that ZOSTAVAX® administered by intramuscular (IM) route is non-inferior to ZOSTAVAX® administered by subcutaneous (SC) route in terms of 4-week post-vaccination antibody titres as measured by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in subjects ≥50 years of age. To demonstrate that ZOSTAVAX® administered by IM route induces an acceptable fold-rise of VZV antibody titres (gpELISA) from pre to 4-week post-vaccination in subjects ≥50 years of age.
