Study to assess the effectiveness and safety of recombinant zoster vaccine in adults aged ≥18 years with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis
Trial overview
Vaccine effectiveness in preventing Herpes Zoster (HZ) in Southern California participants with psoriasis (PsO), who receive 2 doses of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV)
Timeframe: From Day 31 after the index date (RZV Dose 2) until the end of study follow-up, occurrence of outcome of interest, or occurrence of a censoring event (death, termination of KPSC membership, or receipt of an RZV dose), whichever comes first
Rate of flares in Southern California participants with psoriasis (PsO)
Timeframe: Within 30 days following RZV vaccination as compared to the rate in self-controlled comparison periods

Vaccine effectiveness in preventing Herpes Zoster (HZ) in Southern California participants with psoriasis (PsO), who receive 1 dose of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) and do not receive a second dose within 6 months after the first dose
Timeframe: From Day 31 after the index date (RZV Dose 1) until occurrence of HZ, termination of membership, receipt of an RZV dose for unvaccinated individuals or an RZV Dose 2 >6 months after Dose 1 for vaccinated ones, end of study period, whichever comes first

- Vaccine Effectiveness objectives
 - Aged ≥18 years at index date.
 
- Vaccine Effectiveness objectives
 - Individuals with an HZ diagnosis in the 6 months prior to the index date will be excluded to ensure that HZ diagnoses after the index date are new, rather than carried over from HZ episodes prior to the index date.
 
- Aged ≥18 years at index date.
 - ≥1-year of continuous KPSC membership prior to the index date and until 31 days after index date (allowing for a 31-day gap in membership).
 - Meet criteria for PsO or PsA in the year prior to and including the index date. Safety objectives
 - Received ≥1 dose of RZV during the accrual period.
 - Aged ≥18 years at index date (date of first RZV dose).
 - ≥1-year continuous KPSC membership prior to and including index date (allowing for a 31-day gap in membership).
 - Meet criteria for PsO or PsA in the year prior to and including the index date.
 
Vaccine Effectiveness objectives
- Individuals with an HZ diagnosis in the 6 months prior to the index date will be excluded to ensure that HZ diagnoses after the index date are new, rather than carried over from HZ episodes prior to the index date.
 - Individuals with HZ occurring on or within 30 days after the index date for both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups will also be excluded since it is unclear if the HZ episode began before or after the index date and whether the length of time since vaccination (for RZV vaccinated individuals) is long enough to allow for sufficient development of immunity.
 - Individuals who receive RZV vaccine within 30 days after the index date or die during the 30 days after the index date will also be excluded to prevent individuals from being censored before follow-up begins. Safety objectives
 - Individuals who receive a second RZV dose <4 weeks (28 days) after the first dose will be excluded, since ACIP guidelines state that these individuals must repeat the second dose.
