Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) data and efficacy data at four years

By helping prevent shingles, SHINGRIX significantly decreased the incidence of PHN in patients aged ≥70 overall1*

Table with efficacy data for postherpetic neuralgia from the ZOE-50 and ZOE-70 clinical trials Table with efficacy data for postherpetic neuralgia from the ZOE-50 and ZOE-70 clinical trials

Adapted from SHINGRIX Product Monograph.

8,250 PATIENTS ≥70 YEARS OF AGE RECEIVED SHINGRIX.¹

Four CASES OF PHN WERE REPORTED IN THIS AGE GROUP.1

The benefit of SHINGRIX on PHN can be attributed to the effect of the vaccine on the prevention of HZ. A further reduction of PHN incidence in subjects with confirmed HZ could not be demonstrated due to the limited number of HZ cases in the vaccine group.¹

SHINGRIX is not indicated for the treatment of HZ or PHN.1

* PHN was defined as shingles-associated pain rated as ≥3 on a 0–10 scale, occurring or persisting for at least 90 days following the onset of rash using the Zoster Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire.1,2

Efficacy remained high four years post-vaccination in adults ≥70 years old1,2

The duration of protection beyond four years is currently under investigation.

In the fourth year after vaccination, vaccine efficacy (VE) against shingles in patients ≥50 years in ZOE-50 was 93.1% vs. placebo (95% CI: 81.2, 98.2).1
