Percentage of Participants With a V503 Injection-site Adverse ExperienceDay 1 through Day 5 following Day 1 vaccinationAn adverse experience (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an AE. Only injection-site AEs in the arm that received V503 vaccination were reported for this endpoint.

Percentage of Participants With >=4-fold Increase in Antibody Titers to Neisseria Meningitidis SerogroupsBaseline and 4 weeks following Day 1 (Concomitant) or Month 1 (Non-concomitant) vaccinationFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected at Day 1 (baseline) and 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected at Month 1 (baseline) and 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Bactericidal antibodies to Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured by incubating serial dilutions of serum with target N. meningitidis strains and complement, and enumerating the surviving bacteria after overnight incubation on blood agar plates. The serum bactericidal titer is reported as the reciprocal of the final serum dilution giving \>50% killing in 60 minutes.

Titers of neutralizing antibody to diphtheria toxin were measured using a cell-based Diphtheria Micrometabolic Inhibition assay. The lower limit of quantitation of the assay was defined as 0.01 International Units (IU)/mL. Serum titers of neutralizing antibody to tetanus toxin were measured using an enzyme immunoassay. The lower limit of quantitation of the assay was defined as 0.04 IU/mL. Acceptable titers refer to the World Health Organization-defined protective titers of \>=0.1 IU/mL.

The lower limit of the titer (milli Merck U/mL) considered seropositive was 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: Month 7

Population: The per-protocol population included participants who received all study vaccinations, were seronegative to HPV on Day 1, and had serum samples available for evaluation of the endpoint
