Inclusion criteria

* Female subjects aged between and including, 10 to 25 years at the time of the first vaccination. * Subjects who the investigator believes that they or their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the diary cards, return for vaccination visits etc) should be enrolled in the PMS. * Written informed consent obtained from the subject or the subjects' parent/ guardian. * Subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant. Absence of pregnancy should be verified (e.g. urine pregnancy test) as per the investigator's clinical judgement. * Subjects with no contraindication according to the local approved prescribing information. * No previous administration of an HPV vaccine other than Cervarix®. * No previous administration of more than two doses of Cervarix®. * No planned administration of an HPV vaccine other than Cervarix® during the PMS

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)During the 30-day period (Day 0 to Day 29) following any vaccination (During the 3rd year of surveillance).An unsolicited adverse event is any adverse event (i.e. any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms.
Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) and SAE(s) Causally Related to Vaccination.During the entire Post Marketing Surveillance period up to one month after the third vaccine dose (During the 3rd year of surveillance).SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that results in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subjects.
Number of Subjects With Medically Significant Conditions.During the entire Post Marketing Surveillance period up to one month after the third vaccine dose (During the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th year of surveillance)\*Note: For Surveillance Year 3 the analysis was not performed for this outcome since it was not a requirement of the Korean regulatory authority.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

As per study protocol, subjects who had received 1 or 2 doses of Cervarix vaccine prior to the start of the Post-Marketing Surveillance Study (PMS) could also be enrolled. A total of 3091 participants were enrolled in the study, 105 were available for Year 3 Surveillance and 569 were available for Year 4 Surveillance.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
