Brief Summary

This clinical trial is to study protective efficacy and safety of a recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (LZ901) and sponsored by Beijing Luzhu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It is a phase Ⅲ, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled in healthy people aged 40 years and older. The study is to protect adults against shingles (herpes zoster / varicella zoster virus(VZV)). There will be about 26000 participators who will receive two-dose injection at the upper arm. LZ901 vaccine is made up of a tetramer of VZV glycoprotein E (VZV gE-Fc) and adsorbed with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. This adjuvant can raise the immune response to a lot of antigens. It is the most widely used and safe adjuvant in various types of vaccines worldwide.
