MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Acceptable Titers of Anti-Poliovirus Antibody4 weeks following Day 1 (Concomitant) or Month 1 (Non-concomitant) vaccinationFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Titers of neutralizing antibody to poliovirus type 1, 2, and 3 were measured using a microneutralization assay. Serial dilutions of sera were incubated with type-specific standard poliovirus and sensitive cells. Neutralization of the virus was measured by cell staining. Acceptable titers were defined as neutralization at \>=1:8 dilution of serum.
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of the Antibody Response to Each of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Types Contained in V5034 weeks following Month 6 vaccinationSerum antibody titers for HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 were measured using a competitive Luminex immunoassay. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL.
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 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 a Repevax™ Injection-site Adverse ExperienceDay 1 through Day 5 following Day 1 (Concomitant) or Month 1 (Non-concomitant) vaccinationFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, injection-site AEs are reported following Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, injection-site AEs are reported following Month 1 vaccination. An 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 vaccine is also an AE. Only injection-site AEs in the arm that received Repevax™ vaccination were reported for this endpoint.
Percentage of Participants With Maximum Temperature >=37.8 °C (>=100.0 °F) (Oral or Oral Equivalent)Up to 5 days following the Day 1 and Month 1 vaccination / visitFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, temperatures were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 visit; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, temperatures were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 vaccination.
Percentage of Participants With a Systemic Adverse ExperienceUp to 15 days following the Day 1 and Month 1 vaccination / visitFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, systemic AEs were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 visit; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, systemic AEs were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 vaccination. An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body that is 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 vaccine is also an adverse experience. A systemic AE was an AE that was not associated with the injection site.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Acceptable Titers of Anti-Diphtheria and Anti-Tetanus Antibody4 weeks following Day 1 (Concomitant) or Month 1 (Non-concomitant) vaccinationFor the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Titers of neutralizing antibody to diphtheria toxin were measured using a cell-based Diphtheria Micrometabolic Inhibition assay. Serum titers of neutralizing antibody to tetanus toxin were measured using an enzyme immunoassay. The lower limits of quantitation of the assays was 0.01 International Units (IU)/mL and 0.04 IU/mL, respectively. Acceptable titers refer to the World Health Organization-defined protective titer of \>=0.1 IU/mL.
