Brief summary

This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and tolerability of V503 (a multivalent human papillomavirus \[HPV\] L1 virus-like particle \[VLP\] vaccine) in preadolescent and adolescent participants between 9 and 15 years old and demonstrate the consistency of the manufactured vaccine through assessment of 3 different final manufacturing process lots of V503. The primary hypotheses are as follows: 1. The 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine when administered to preadolescent and adolescent boys and girls 9 to 15 years of age and young women 16 to 26 years of age is generally well-tolerated. 2. 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in preadolescent and adolescent girls 9 to 15 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type compared to young women 16 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-negative Day 1 through Month 7 to the relevant HPV type, as measured by anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 4 weeks post-dose 3. 3. The 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in preadolescent and adolescent boys 9 to 15 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type compared to young women 16 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 and PCR-negative Day 1 through Month 7 to the relevant HPV type, as measured by anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 GMTs at 4 weeks post-dose 3. 4. Three separate final manufacturing process (FMP) lots of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induce similar immune responses, as measured by anti-HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 GMTs at 4 weeks post-dose 3.

Detailed description

The base study V503-002 was a 12-month study that collected immunogenicity data through Month 7 and safety data through Month 12. An optional extension study (V503-002 EXT1) collected safety and immunogenicity information through Month 36. Participants enrolled in the 16- to 26-year-old cohort in the base study were not included in EXT1. Per protocol, EXT1 included immunogenicity data from a subset of 9- to 15-year-old females and safety data from all 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered. An optional second extension study (V503-002 EXT2) collected long-term safety and immunogenicity information through approximately Month 126. No study vaccine was administered in the extension studies. Participants enrolled in the 16- to 26-year-old cohort in the base study were not included in EXT2. Per protocol, EXT2 included immunogenicity data from a subset of 9- to 15-year-old females and effectiveness and safety data from all 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered.

The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥30, HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20, HPV Type 18: ≥24, HPV Type 31: ≥10, HPV Type 33: ≥8, HPV Type 45: ≥8, HPV Type 52: ≥8, and HPV Type 58: ≥8.

Time frame: 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 (Month 7)

Population: 9-15-year-old females and 16-26-year-old females who received 3 vaccinations from Lot 1 and met following criteria for at least 1 of the 9 HPV types: no general protocol violations, received all 3 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, seronegative at Day 1 for HPV type(s), and had a Month 7 serum sample collected within an acceptable day range.

Extension Study: Combined Incidence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Genital Warts, and Cervical/Vulvar/Vaginal Cancers Related to HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 in Females

The combined incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, genital warts, and cervical/vulvar/vaginal cancers, related to HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 was assessed. This outcome measure was determined by clinical/pathologic criteria and positive PCR assay for HPV type. Incidence was estimated as cases per 10,000 person-years. Person-years follow-up was calculated starting from the beginning of the long-term follow-up study or the date when the study participant reached 16 years of age, whichever came later. Per protocol, the extension study included data from 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered.

Time frame: Up to ~Month 126

Population: The per-protocol effectiveness population, which included participants who were seronegative (by cLIA) to the relevant HPV type(s) at Day 1 (seronegative to both HPV 6 and 11 for analysis of HPV 6 and 11-related endpoints), received all 3 doses of 9vHPV vaccine with the correct dose of the clinical material within 1 year, and had no other protocol violation that could interfere with evaluation of vaccine effectiveness.

Extension Study: Combined Incidence of HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58-Related Persistent Infection in Females

Persistent infection is when a participant is positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the same HPV type in cervicovaginal/external genital swabs or tissue specimens collected at consecutive visits at least 6 months (+/-1 month visit window) apart. Incidence was estimated as cases per 10,000 person-years. Person-years follow-up was from beginning of long-term follow-up or when a study participant reached 16 years of age, whichever came later. Per protocol, the extension study included 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered.

Extension Study: Combined Incidence of Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia, Penile/Perineal/Perianal Cancers and Genital Warts Related to HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 in Males

The combined incidence of penile intraepithelial neoplasia, penile/perineal/perianal cancers, and genital warts related to HPV6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 was assessed. This outcome measure was determined by clinical/pathologic criteria and positive PCR assay for HPV type. Incidence was estimated as cases per 10,000 person-years. For each study participant, person-years follow up was calculated starting from the beginning of the long-term follow-up study or the date when the study participant reached 16 years of age, whichever came later.

Extension Study: Percentage of Participants With Vaccine-Related or Procedure-Related Serious Adverse Events

A serious adverse event (SAE) included a death which resulted in the participant discontinuing the study, a serious adverse experience that was considered by an investigator who was a qualified physician to be possibly, probably, or definitely vaccine related or study procedure related. Per protocol, the extension study included data from 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered.

Time frame: Up to ~Month 126

Population: All participants who received at least 1 study vaccination in the base study and had follow-up data.
