Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visits, ability to have scheduled contacts to allow evaluation during the study). Or subjects with a care-giver who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the diary cards, vaccination visits, availability for follow-up contacts). • Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to performance of any study specific procedure. • Previous participation in study ZOSTER-003 (NCT00434577), in group 50 µg gE / AS01B, and who completed the vaccination course (2 doses of HZ/su) in study ZOSTER-003 (NCT00434577). • Subjects are expected to enter the study (or complete Visit 1) as of the time they turn 108 months after first vaccination of previous vaccination course with HZ/su and not later than 111 months. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 100
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine during the period starting 30 days before the first study visit (Day -29 to Day 0), or planned use during the study period. • Use or anticipated use of immunosuppressants or immune-modifying drugs during the period starting six months prior to study start and during the whole study period. This includes chronic administration of corticosteroids (>14 consecutive days of prednisone at a dose of =20 mg/day [or equivalent]), long-acting immune-modifying agents (e.g., infliximab) or immunosuppressive/cytotoxic therapy (e.g., medications used during cancer chemotherapy, organ transplantation or to treat autoimmune disorders). • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition resulting from disease (e.g., malignancy, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection). • Administration or planned administration of a live vaccine in the period starting 30 days before the first dose of study vaccine and ending 30 days after the last dose of study vaccine, or, administration or planned administration of a non-replicating vaccine* within 8 days prior to or within 14 days after either dose of study vaccine. *E.g., inactivated and subunit vaccines, including inactivated and subunit influenza vaccines and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. • Previous vaccination against HZ since initial vaccination in Zoster-003. • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the period starting 3 months before the study start, or planned administration during the study period. • History of previous HZ.

| Main Objective: • To evaluate persistence of humoral and cell mediated immune responses overall at Months 108 and 120 post first dose of initial vaccination course in study Zoster-003 (NCT00434577).;Secondary Objective: For the persistence phase Months 108 and 120 post first dose of initial vaccination in study Zoster-003 (NCT00434577): • To evaluate the persistence of humoral and cell mediated immune responses within each age cohort (60-69 YOA and =70 YOA at the time of the initial vaccination) at Months 108 and 120 post first dose of initial vaccination course. • To evaluate the safety of the study vaccine from Month 108 to Month 120 post first dose of initial vaccination course. For the re-vaccination phase: • To evaluate humoral and cell mediated immune responses to a two dose re-vaccination course at one month after each dose (Months 121 and 123) and 12 months after last dose (Month 134) when administered 10 years after the initial vaccination course. • To evaluate the reactogenicity and safety of the study vaccine after re-vaccination with two additional doses.;Primary end point(s): 1. Antigen-specific antibody (Ab) concentrations. - Anti-gE Ab concentrations as determined by ELISA 2. Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) in terms of frequencies of anti-gen-specific CD4 T-cells. - Frequencies of CD4+ T cells with antigen-specific Interferon gamma (IFN-?) and/or Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and/or Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a) and/or CD40 Ligand (CD40L) secretion/expression to gE as determined by Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 and 2. At Month 108 and Month 120 post first dose of initial vaccination course in study Zoster-003 (NCT00434577). | — |

| Secondary end point(s): 1. Antigen-specific antibody (Ab) concentrations. - Anti-gE Ab concentrations as determined by ELISA within each age cohort (60-69 YOA and =70 YOA at the time of initial vaccination) 2. Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) in terms of frequencies of anti-gen-specific CD4 T-cells. - Frequencies of CD4+ T cells with antigen-specific Interferon gamma (IFN-?) and/or Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and/or Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a) and/or CD40 Ligand (CD40L) secretion/expression to gE as determined by Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS) within each age cohort (60-69 YOA and = 70 YOA at the time of initial vaccination) 3. Occurrence of all serious adverse events (SAEs) related to study participation or to a concurrent GSK medication/vaccine (including HZ/su administered during the Zoster-003 (NCT00434577) study). - Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity. 4. Antigen-specific antibody (Ab) concentrations post re-vaccination. - Anti-gE antibody concentrations as determined by ELISA in all subjects 5. Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) in terms of frequencies of anti-gen-specific CD4 T- cells - Frequencies of CD4+ T cells with antigen-specific Interferon gamma (IFN-?) and/or Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and/or Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a) and/or CD40 Ligand (CD40L) secretion/expression to gE as determined by Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS) 6.
