147 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this observational research study is to study if patients with herpes zoster, also known as Shingles, have a higher risk of vascular dysfunction (problems with blood vessels, including stroke) and vascular dementia (problems with mental decline as a result of decreased blood flow to the brain) compared to patients without herpes zoster. Patients are evaluated based on the group they are assigned too: 1. Herpes Zoster (HZ) Group: individuals presenting with untreated herpes zoster. These participants will have 6 visits: * Day 1 = 1st day presenting to clinic with acute zoster * 7 days post zoster * 1 month after Day 1 * 3 months after Day 1 * 6 months after Day 1 * 12 months after Day 1 2. Control Group: individuals without herpes zoster o Day 1 (only 1 visit will be completed) This study does not have a study medication/device. Standard of care for all patients will be followed.

Herpes Zoster (HZ), Shingles, Infectious Disease
The purpose of this clinical study is to learn about the safety, extent of the side effects (reaction to vaccine), and immune response (your immune system's reaction) of the study vaccine called Varicella Zoster Virus modRNA (VZV modRNA). We are seeking for healthy participants 50 through 85 years of age. This study will be conducted in 2 substudies: Substudy A (Phase 1) and Substudy B (Phase 2). Substudy A: This substudy is the Phase 1 portion of the study. In this substudy, participants will receive 1 of 3 VZV modRNA vaccine candidates (different construct, different dose levels and different formulation \[frozen or freeze dry powder\]) or the approved shingles vaccine intramuscularly. Participants will be assigned in 1 of 10 groups in the study. Vaccination will be given either as a 2-dose series using one of two dosing schedules (either 2-months apart or 6-months apart), or (in one of the groups), as a single VZV modRNA vaccine at the first vaccination visit and saline at the second vaccination visit. Participants will take part in this study for 8 to 12 months depending on the group they are assigned to. Some group(s) will continue into persistence-of-immunity (overtime assessment of effect of vaccine) portion of the study. Those participants assigned to these selected groups will be involved in the study for up to 5 years. Substudy B: This substudy is the Phase 2 portion of the study. In this part of the study, participants will receive either VZV modRNA vaccine at selected dose level/schedule/formulation or approved shingles vaccine. This selection was determined from data collected in Substudy A. Participants will be involved in this study for up to 5 years.

Background: People who have cancer tend to get sick more often. This is in part because of the cancer treatments they get. Because of this, they may get shingles. Scientists had thought people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) should not get the shingles vaccine. Now there is a new shingles vaccine that is not live and cannot cause shingles. The new shingles vaccine may protect people with weak immune systems from getting shingles. This is currently shown to be safe to give people 50 years and older to prevent shingles. Researchers want to test how safe the vaccine is and how it works in people with CLL. Objective: To learn how a new shingles vaccine works in people who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with CLL or SLL who are not being treated for CLL or who are getting certain treatments. Design: Participants will be screened with a chart review or through another protocol. Visit 1 At visit 1, participants may have a pregnancy test, blood test, or physical exam. Pregnant participants cannot be in the study. Eligible participants will get the shingles vaccine as an injection. Participants will receive a diary and write down any symptoms they have for 7 days after the vaccines. Visit 2 Visit 2 will be 3 months later. Participants will have blood taken and get another dose of the vaccine. Participants will receive a diary and write down any symptoms they have for 7 days after the vaccines. Visit 3 Visit 3 will be 3 months after visit 2. Participants will have blood taken. Participants may be able to get an additional vaccine the same day as the shingles vaccine.

This study will compare the two vaccines that have been developed to prevent and/or lessen the effects of shingles. One vaccine is live (Zostavax, licensed by FDA) and the other, herpes zoster subunit (HZ/su), contains a piece of the shingles virus (not live) and an ingredient that may enhance the body's immune response to the vaccine, and is currently investigational. The vaccines are being compared to assess their ability to stimulated protection against shingles. The study will provide an opportunity to determine the safety profile of each vaccine in a single trial. The study will also look at the effect of age on the immune response to the two vaccines and on the persistence of these responses.

Herpes Zoster, Herpes Zoster Vaccine
Vaccination is the most effective way of preventing infectious diseases. Despite the success of vaccines in general, vaccines induce diminished antibody responses and lower protection in the elderly in particular. This could be explained by a defect in the early responses of an ageing immune system. A better understanding of the basic immunological mechanisms that mediate vaccine efficacy is incomplete. Such information is critical and could greatly decrease both the cost and the time to new vaccine development particularly for the geriatric population. In this trial, the investigators will study the immunologic differences of the FDA approved licensed shingles vaccine between a younger and an older group. Thirty three healthy volunteers between the ages of 25-40 and forty four healthy volunteers between the ages of 60-79 will be enrolled in the study. Each participant in the study will be given one shingles shot. Blood work will be obtained one month before vaccination, on the day of vaccination, one day, three days, seven days, fourteen days, one month, three months and six months after vaccination. Throughout the duration of the study, the participants will be monitored for safety.

Herpes Zoster, Post-herpetic Neuralgia
Background: * The common varicella-zoster virus causes both chickenpox and shingles. Both diseases cause rashes, but they can also have complications such as bacterial infections of the skin, pneumonia, or eye disease. * By drawing and studying blood samples from people who have been infected with the varicella-zoster virus or who are receiving or have received the varicella vaccine, researchers hope to learn more about the immune system s response to the virus. Objectives: - To determine the immune system s response to the varicella virus, either in its existing form or given as part of a vaccine. Eligibility: * Individuals 18 years of age and older who have had or are receiving the varicella vaccine. * Individuals 5 years of age and older who currently have chickenpox or shingles. Design: * Participants will visit the NIH Clinical Center for an initial physical examination, and will provide blood samples for evaluation. * Researchers will determine the number of samples to be taken and the amount of blood to be drawn as needed based on the participants medical history and exposure to the varicella-zoster virus. Investigators in this study will not be giving subjects either the chickenpox or shingles vaccine. They will only be looking at the response to the vaccine in persons who are receiving or have received the vaccine from their health care provider.
