Brief Title: Serologic Response to SHINGRIX Vaccine in Patients With CLL and WM Treated With BTK Inhibitors
Official Title: Serologic Response to a New Recombinant, Adjuvanted Herpes Zoster Vaccine in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Waldenström Macroglobulinemia Treated With First-Line BTK Inhibitors - A Pilot Study
Study ID: NCT03771157
Brief Summary: The primary objective of the study is to assess the capability of a patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) to generate an immune response to the Shingrix vaccine under first-line BTK inhibitors.
Detailed Description: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) are known risk factors for zoster reactivation, commonly called shingles. Although a recently FDA-approved recombinant, adjuvanted herpes zoster vaccine (Shingrix) is currently being offered to these populations, no study has specifically evaluated them. The purpose of the study is to complete a single-arm trial evaluating if patients with CLL or WM, while on treatment with first-line BTK inhibitors, can achieve immunologic response to Shingrix. If effective, this will result in a new, well-tolerated shingles prevention strategy for these patients. The primary objective is to assess the capability to mount a humoral immune response to Shingrix in patients with CLL or WM under first-line BTK inhibitors.
