Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Anti-HPV 11 at Month 7 (4 Weeks Postdose 3)Up to 7 Months (4 Weeks Postdose 3)

Serum antibodies to HPV Type 11 were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. Titers were reported in milli Merck Units (mMU)/milliliter (mL). GMTs from participants who received qHPV vaccine and REPEVAX™ together at Day 1 (concomitant) were compared to GMTs from participants who received qHPV vaccine at Day 1 followed by REPEVAX™ 1 month later (non-concomitant). An analysis of non-inferiority compared GMTs for each HPV type using an ANOVA model with a response of log individual titers and fixed effects for treatment group, manufacturing facility, study site, and the treatment-by-site interaction.

Seroconversion of participants who received qHPV vaccine and REPEVAX™ together at Day 1 (concomitant) was compared to seroconversion of participants who received qHPV vaccine at Day 1 followed by REPEVAX™ 1 month later (non-concomitant).
