Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody Response Rate at 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seronegative at BaselineAdults and Adolescents: 6 weeks post Vaccination 2 (up to approximately 86 days), Children: 6 weeks post Vaccination 1 (up to approximately 43 days)VZV antibody titers were measured using a glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA). The VZV antibody response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a post-vaccination VZV antibody titer ≥5 gpELISA units/mL for participants whose baseline VZV antibody titer was \<1.25 gpELISA units/mL. VZV antibody response rate was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seronegative to VZW at baseline.
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of VZV Antibodies at 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seronegative at BaselineAdults and Adolescents: 6 weeks post Vaccination 2 (up to approximately 86 days), Children: 6 weeks post Vaccination 1 (up to approximately 43 days)GMTs of VZV antibodies were measured post-vaccination using a gpELISA. GMT was calculated at each time point by taking the log of the titers, averaging over all participants values, and then back-transforming to the original scale. GMT was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seronegative to VZW at baseline.
VZV Antibody Seroconversion Rate at 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seronegative at BaselineAdults and Adolescents: 6 weeks post Vaccination 2 (up to approximately 86 days), Children: 6 weeks post Vaccination 1 (up to approximately 43 days)VZV antibody levels were measured using a gpELISA. The VZW antibody seroconversion rate was defined as the percentage of participants with VZV antibodies ≥1.25 gpELISA units/mL in participants with a baseline VZV antibody titer \<1.25 gpELISA units/mL. VZW antibody seroconversion was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seronegative to VZW at baseline.
GMTs of VZV Antibodies at Day 1 and 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seropositive at BaselineDay 1 (Baseline), 6 weeks post last vaccination (Day 43 for children and Day 84 for adults and adolescents)GMTs of VZV antibodies were measured post-vaccination using a gpELISA. GMT was calculated at each time point by taking the log of the titers, averaging over all participants values, and then back-transforming to the original scale. GMT was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seropositive to VZW at baseline. Per protocol, confidence intervals (CIs) were only calculated when there were at least 5 participants who were seropositive in a treatment group.
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in VZV Antibody Titers From Day 1 to 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seropositive at BaselineDay 1 (Baseline), 6 weeks post last vaccination (Day 43 for children and Day 84 for adults and adolescents)GMTs were measured using a gpELISA. For participants who were seropositive at baseline (baseline VZV antibody titer ≥1.25 gpELISA units/mL), the GMFR was calculated as the ratio of the VZV GMT at 6 weeks post last vaccination to the VZV GMT at Day 1 (baseline). The GMFR from Day 1 was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seropositive to VZW at baseline. Per protocol, CIs were only calculated when there were at least 5 participants who were seropositive in a treatment group.
Percentage of Participants With ≥4-Fold Rise in Antibody Titers From Day 1 to 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination Among Participants Who Were Seropositive at BaselineDay 1 (Baseline), 6 weeks post last vaccination (Day 43 for children and Day 84 for adults and adolescents)GMTs were measured using a gpELISA. For participants who were seropositive at baseline (baseline VZV antibody titer ≥1.25 gpELISA units/mL), the percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold rise in VZV antibody titer from Day 1 (baseline) to post-vaccination was assessed and reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents). Per protocol, CIs were only calculated when there were at least 5 participants who were seropositive in a treatment group.

Outcome results

Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in VZV Antibody Titers From Day 1 to 6 Weeks Post Last Vaccination in Participants Who Were Seropositive at Baseline

GMTs were measured using a gpELISA. For participants who were seropositive at baseline (baseline VZV antibody titer ≥1.25 gpELISA units/mL), the GMFR was calculated as the ratio of the VZV GMT at 6 weeks post last vaccination to the VZV GMT at Day 1 (baseline). The GMFR from Day 1 was reported for all study arms at 6 weeks post last vaccination (Vaccination 1 for children and Vaccination 2 for adults and adolescents) for participants who were seropositive to VZW at baseline. Per protocol, CIs were only calculated when there were at least 5 participants who were seropositive in a treatment group.

Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline), 6 weeks post last vaccination (Day 43 for children and Day 84 for adults and adolescents)

Population: All allocated participants without deviations from the protocol that would substantially affect the results of the immunogenicity outcome measures (Per-Protocol population) who were seropositive at baseline and who received Vaccination 1 (children) or Vaccination 1 and Vaccination 2 (adults and adolescents) were analyzed.

The percentage of participants who experienced one or more SAEs after either vaccination (up to approximately 42 days post-vaccination) was summarized for all study arms.

Time frame: Up to 42 days post-Vaccination 1 or post-Vaccination 2 (up to approximately 86 days)

Population: All allocated participants who received at least one dose of study vaccine and who had some safety follow-up data after the respective vaccination were analyzed.
