Evaluation of the Immune and Safety Response of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' HPV Vaccine in Healthy Indian Women

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Infections, Papillomavirus
• Interventions: Biological: HPV-16/18 VLP/AS04 Vaccine (Cervarix TM); Biological: Placebo

• Registration Number: NCT00344032
• Lead Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline

Brief Summary

Human papillomavirus infection has clearly been recognized as the cause of cervical cancer. Indeed, the infection of the cervix by certain oncogenic types of HPV, if not cleared , can lead over time to cervical cancer in women . This study will evaluate the immune response induced by the HPV-16/18 L1/AS04 vaccine and the safety of the vaccine.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cervarix	HPV-16/18 VLP/AS04 Vaccine (Cervarix TM)	Subjects who received 3 doses of HPV-16/18 VLP/AS04 Vaccine (Cervarix TM) (at 0, 1, 6 months).
Placebo	Placebo	Subjects who received 3 doses of Placebo (at 0, 1, 6 months).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Subjects Who Seroconverted for Anti-human Papilloma Virus 16 (Anti-HPV-16) and Anti-human Papilloma Virus 18 (Anti-HPV-18) Antibodies	At Month 7	Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of antibodies with titers greater than or equal to the predefined cut-off value in the serum of subjects seronegative before vaccination. Cut-off values assessed include 8 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units per milliliter (EL.U/mL) for anti-HPV-16 antibodies and 7 EL.U/mL for anti-HPV-18 antibodies.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Symptoms	During the 7 days (Days 0 - 6) after each vaccination	Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling. Solicited general symptoms assessed include arthralgia, fatigue, fever, gastro-intestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, rash and urticaria.
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events	Throughout the study period (up to Month 7)	Serious adverse events assessed include medical occurrences that results in death, is life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
Titers of Anti-human Papilloma Virus 16 (Anti-HPV-16) and Anti-human Papilloma Virus 18 (Anti-HPV-18) Antibodies	At Months 0 and 7	Titers are given as Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) expressed as Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay Units Per Milliliter (EL.U/mL).
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)	Within 30 days (Days 0 - 29) after each vaccination	Unsolicited adverse event = Any adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any "solicited" symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event.
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events as New Onset Chronic Diseases (NOCDs) and Other Medically Significant Adverse Events (AEs)	Throughout the study period (up to Month 7)	NOCDs assessed include e.g. autoimmune disorders, asthma, type I diabetes. Medically significant AEs assessed include AEs prompting emergency room or physician visits that are not related to common diseases or SAEs that are not related to common diseases.
