The vaccine was demonstrated to have favourable immunogenicity and could elicit greater levels of gE antigen-specific CD4+T cell responses and IgG antibodies in preclinical studies.

It was also said to have an immune response that was not inferior to Shingrix, a controlled vaccine.

In February 2023, Recbio launched a first-in-human, active-controlled, GSK Shingrix trial of REC610 in the Philippines.  

All of the participants in the Philippines trial concluded the follow-up studies after 30 days of receiving two vaccine doses.

A viral infectious disease, shingles can adversely impact the patients’ quality of life, and is particularly harmful to elderly individuals.
