Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
The Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Varicella-zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody at 6 Weeks Postvaccination
Prevaccination up to 6 weeks postvaccination

Antibody titers were measured by VZV-specific glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA).

Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in VZV Antibody Titers at 6 Weeks Postvaccination
Prevaccination up to 6 weeks postvaccination

GMFR was analyzed as the geometric mean of the ratio of VZV antibody titer (gpELISA units/mL) at postvaccination week 6 over VZV antibody titer (gpELISA units/mL) at prevaccination day 1.

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events
Up to 42 days postvaccination

A serious adverse event is one that results in death, is life-threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability, results in or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is considered an "other important medical event" based on medical judgment.

Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Experiences (SAEs) for 28 Days Postvaccination
To Day 28 postvaccination

SAEs are AEs at any dose that: Results in death or persistent/significant disability/incapacity; or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization or Is life threatening; or Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or Is a cancer; or Is an overdose or Is an other important medical event

Secondary Endpoints
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Varicella-zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody Responses at 4 Weeks Postvaccination
4 weeks postvaccination
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in VZV Antibody Titers From Prevaccination to 4 Weeks Postvaccination
From prevaccination (baseline) to 4 weeks postvaccination
