PRAC Rapporteur: Brigitte Keller-Stanislawski (DE)<br />

Administrative details:<br />

Procedure number(s): EMEA/H/C/000674/PSUV/0069<br />

MAH(s): Sanofi Pasteur MSD, SNC<br />

Background<br />

Zostavax is a shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine (live) indicated for the prevention of herpes zoster<br />

(“zoster” or shingles) and herpes zoster-related post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).<br />

Based on the assessment of the PSUR, the PRAC reviewed the benefit-risk balance of Zostavax, a<br />

centrally authorised shingles vaccine, and issued a recommendation on its marketing authorisation(s).<br />

Summary of recommendation(s) and conclusions<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Based on the review of the data on safety and efficacy, the risk-benefit balance of Zostavax<br />

(shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine (live)) in the approved indication(s) remains favourable.<br />

The current terms of the marketing authorisation(s) should be maintained.<br />

In the next PSUR, the MAH should provide a more detailed analysis of zoster cases in relation<br />

to time to onset after vaccination. The MAH should provide also a revised RMP concerning<br />

herpes zoster/herpes zoster-like and varicella/varicella-like rash as an important identified risk.<br />

In addition, the MAH should amend its proposed passive surveillance and should provide a<br />

more active analysis of the quantitative risk of zoster development and its characterization<br />

caused by vaccination.<br />

The next PSUR should be submitted in accordance with the requirements set out in the list of Union<br />

reference dates (EURD list) provided for under Article 107c (7) of Directive 2001/83/EC.<br />
