The pharma company plan to include more than 30,000 patients worldwide in the Phase III trial.

In a statement, Norman Begg, Chief Medical Office at GSK Biologicals, said, “Shingles is an often debilitating condition for which there are limited treatment and prevention options.

“That is why progression into late stage development of our herpes zoster vaccine is an important milestone in ongoing efforts to potentially help address an important unmet need.”

Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and results in a painful rash on one side of the body.

GSK’s shares rose 1% — or 15p — to 1221.5p after it said it was rolling out a stage three trial to more than 30,000 patients.

• Breast cancer
• Type 1 and 2 diabetes
• Chronic kidney disease
• End-of-life care
• Glaucoma
• Depression
• Chronic heart failure
• Alcohol dependency

NICE has already developed quality standards on stroke, dementia and venous thromboembolism prevention.

The quality standards are produced in collaboration with the NHS and social car professionals. The development of these new standards is “central to supporting the government’s vision for an NHS focused on delivering the best possible outcomes for patients,” says NICE.

According to NICE the quality standards enable:

• Health and social care professionals to make decisions about care based on the latest evidence and best practice;
• Patients to understand what service they can expect;
•  NHS Trusts to examine  the clinical performance of their organisation and assess the standards of care they provide;
• Commissioners to be confident that the services they are providing are high-quality and cost-effective.
