A phase IIIb, randomized, open, multicentre study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals’ HPV-16/18 L1 AS04 vaccine co-administered with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals’ combined reduced-antigen diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (Boostrix® Polio) in healthy female subjects aged 10–18 years. - HPV-042

Conditions: In female subjects from 10 years of age onwards for the prevention of cervical cancer by protecting against incident and persistent infections, cytological abnormalities including ASC-US, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and pre-cancerous lesions caused by oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV).

Inclusion Criteria

All subjects must satisfy the following criteria at study entry:
• Subjects who the investigator believes that they and their parents/legally acceptable representatives (LAR) can, and will, comply with the requirements of the protocol should be enrolled in the study.
• A female between, and including, 10 and 18 years of age at the time of the first vaccination.
• Written informed consent/assent obtained from the subject, and written informed consent obtained from the subject’s parent/LAR, as appropriate.
• Healthy subjects, as established by medical history and history-directed physical examination, before entering into the study.
• Previously completed routine childhood vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and poliomyelitis diseases, according to the recommended vaccination schedule at the time.
• Subjects must have a negative urine pregnancy test.
• Subject must be of non-childbearing potential i.e., have a current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy, or be pre-menarcheal; or if she is of childbearing potential, she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative pregnancy test and must agree to continue such precautions for two months after completion of the vaccination series. Subjects who reach menarche (begin menstruating) during the study, and therefore become of childbearing potential, must agree to follow the same precautions.

• Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
• Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose.
• Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days before and 30 days after each dose of vaccine(s).

• Hypersensitivity to latex (found in syringe-tip cap and plunger).
• Known acute or chronic, clinically significant neurologic, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, or thrombocytopenia, as determined by previous physical examination or laboratory tests.
• Cancer or autoimmune disease under treatment.
• History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine (e.g. aluminium, MPL, neomycin, polymyxin, polysorbate 80 etc.) or following any other tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid or pertussis-containing vaccine.
• History of encephalopathy (e.g. coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged seizures) within seven days of administration of a previous dose of pertussis vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause.
• Temperature of >40°C within 48 hours of receipt of a prior dose of DTP vaccine (DTPw and/or DTPa), not due to another identifiable cause.
• Collapse or shock-like state (hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode) within 48 hours of receipt of a prior dose of DTP vaccine (DTPw and/or DTPa).
• Seizures with or without fever within three days of a prior dose of DTP vaccine (DTPw and/or DTPa).

• Severe Arthus-type hypersensitivity reactions following a prior dose of tetanus toxoid within the previous 10 years.
• Known exposure to diphtheria or household exposure to pertussis within 30 days before vaccination with dTpa-IPV.
• Diphtheria and/or tetanus and/or pertussis and/or polio diagnosed within 30 days before vaccination with dTpa-IPV.
• Presence of a contra-indication to vaccination according to the product leaflet of the commercially available dTpa-IPV vaccine.
