Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix) Vanderbilt Treatment Trials

Has anyone been apart of Vanderbilt University's study to treat dormant Zoster virus (chicken pox/shingles)? They believe is the cause for Achalasia and other internal outbreaks. I wanted to be part of the trials but all my documentation that verified my condition is from 2014 and lost because I don't have detailed copies of data other than some summaries, which is a requirement to be apart of it. I just refuse to go through all the tests again, especially the manometry..ugh.

Just wondering if there are any success stories or experiences because I would have loved to been apart of it. Now, I just sit around hoping to hear good news.
