Summary

This trial found that the HZ vaccine was effective in reducing the incidence of HZ among patients with IBD, with the highest efficacy in those with Crohn's disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), specifically Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's, who have been on stable IBD treatment for at least three months. Participants must have had chickenpox before and be receiving certain IBD treatments without recent steroids, immunomodulators, or other vaccines that could affect the immune response.
What is being tested?
The study tests Shingrix vaccine's effectiveness in preventing shingles among IBD patients treated with Vedolizumab. It aims to understand if this new non-live vaccine can safely boost immunity against herpes zoster in those who are often on immunosuppressants due to their condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Shingrix may cause pain at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, chills, fever, and stomach problems. These side effects typically last a short time and indicate that the body is building protection against shingles.
