NCT ID NCT04006808
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new shingles vaccine (PED-HZ/su) in children aged 1 to 17 who have had a kidney transplant and have weakened immune systems. The vaccine is given as two shots in the arm. Researchers are checking how safe it is, what side effects occur, and how well it boosts the body's defenses against the shingles virus. The trial involves 184 participants and is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
PED-HZ/su (shingles vaccine candidate)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a safe way to prevent shingles in children with weakened immune systems after a kidney transplant.
What could go wrong
This is an early (Phase 1/2) study with only 184 participants, so results may not apply to all. The vaccine could cause side effects like pain, fever, or rarely, more serious issues.
