Can a shingles shot protect transplant patients? timing may be key.
NCT ID NCT05775718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well the shingles vaccine Shingrix works in people who have had a stem cell transplant. About 55 adults who received the vaccine at least a year after their transplant will have their immune responses measured. Researchers want to see if the timing of the vaccine after transplant affects protection and whether a third dose might help.
