Overview

Brief Summary

This is a 96-month safety and immunogenicity study conducted in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age and in young women 16 to 26 years of age. From this study, the goal is to establish that the investigational extended 2-dose regimens (0, 12 months; 0, 24 months; 0, 36 months; and 0, 60 months) studied in boys and girls 9 to 14 years of age are generally safe and immunogenic, with an antibody response that is not inferior to that observed in young women 16 to 26 years of age who receive the standard 3-dose regimen of 9-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine at 0, 2, and 6 months (i.e., the population and dose regimen used to establish 9vHPV vaccine efficacy).

Arms & Interventions

Cohort 0: 1 Dose of 9vHPV Vaccine (previous 1-dose recipients)

10 to 15 year old girls and boys (who previously received 1 dose of 9vHPV vaccine) receive a second dose of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Cohort 1: 2 Doses of 9vHPV Vaccine Given 12 Months Apart

9 to 14 year old girls and boys receive a 2-dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1 and Month 12.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Cohort 2: 2 Doses of 9vHPV Vaccine Given 24 Months Apart

9 to 13 year old girls and boys receive a 2-dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1 and Months 24.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Cohort 3: 2 Doses of 9vHPV Vaccine Given 36 Months Apart

9 to 12 year old girls and boys receive a 2-dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1 and Month 36.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Cohort 4: 2 Doses of 9vHPV Vaccine Given 60 Months Apart

9 to 10 year old girls and boys receive a 2-dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1 and Month 60.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Cohort 5: 3 Doses of 9vHPV Vaccine Given Over a 6-Month Period

16 to 26 year old young women receive 3 dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine at Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6.

Intervention: 9vHPV vaccine

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Geometric Mean Titers of Anti-Human Papilloma Virus Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 as Measured by Competitive Luminex Immunoassay

Time Frame: 4 weeks post last vaccination (Up to ~Month 61)

Serum antibody titers for human papilloma virus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 will be determined using competitive luminex immunoassay (cLIA). The geometric mean titer (GMT) for each HPV type will be reported in milli Merck units/mL (mMU/mL).

Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Serious Vaccine-Related Adverse Event

Time Frame: Entire study period (Up to ~Month 96)

A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as one that results in death, is life threatening, or requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or other important medical event that may require medical intervention. An SAE that is judged by the investigator to be related to the study vaccine is defined as a vaccine-related SAE.

Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Systemic Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 15 days post vaccination

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants with a systemic AE will be assessed.

Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Solicited Injection-site Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 5 days post vaccination

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants with injection-site AEs (erythema/redness, pain and swelling) will be assessed.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage of Participants (Cohorts 1 to 5) Who Are Seropositive for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58(36 months post last vaccination)
  • Geometric Mean Titers ( Cohorts 1 to 5) of Anti HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58(24 months post last vaccination)
  • Geometric Mean Titers ( Cohorts 1 to 5) of Anti HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 , and 58(36 months post last vaccination)
  • Geometric Mean Titers (Cohorts 1 to 5) of Anti HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58(12 months post last vaccination)
