Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
