Lupus Patients' shingles vaccine response under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07636044
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) works in people with lupus compared to healthy people of the same age and sex. Researchers will measure immune cell responses after two doses and follow participants for up to 5 years. The goal is to understand if the vaccine provides adequate protection for those with lupus.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Shingrix (adjuvanted herpes zoster subunit vaccine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that the Shingrix vaccine works well in people with lupus, helping protect them against shingles.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures immune response, not actual shingles prevention. Results may not apply to all lupus patients.
