Outcome results

Primary

Combined Incidence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 or Worse Related to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Type 6, 11, 16, or 18

The endpoint included pathology panel consensus diagnosis of CIN 2 or 3, adenocarcinoma in situ, invasive squamous cervical carcinoma, or invasive adenocarcinoma of the cervix, and HPV type 6, 11, 16, or 18 detected in an adjacent section from the same tissue block. The point estimates and exact 95% confidence intervals for incidence rate were based on the Poisson distribution.

Time frame: Up to Month 48

Population: The population analyzed included participants who received the full vaccination series, had at least 1 visit after Month 7, had no general protocol violations, and were seronegative at Baseline and polymerase chain reaction-negative from Baseline through Month 7 for the relevant HPV type.
