Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Safety in adolescent girls and young women 12 to 26 years of age who have previously received a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL™.;Secondary Objective: Demonstrate that the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine is immunogenic with respect to HPV Types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 in adolescent girls and young women 12 to 26 years of age who have previously received a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL™. ;Primary end point(s): Safety: To evaluate the tolerability of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine in adolescent girls 12 to 15 years of age and young women 16 to 26 y/o who have previously received GARDASIL. Immunogenicity: The primary immunogenicity endpoints is the percentage of seropositivity to HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 at 4 weeks post dose 3. Other immunogenicity endpoints are geometric mean titers (GMTs) to HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 at 4 weeks post dose 3, GMTs and percentage of seropositivity to HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 at 4 weeks post dose 3.
