Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as AEs. Nausea, chills, fatigue, injection site bruising, injection site erythema, injection site haematoma, injection site haemorrhage, injection site induration, injection site oedema, injection site pain, injection site paraesthesia, injection site pruritus, injection site swelling, malaise, pain, pyrexia, temperature regulation disorder, arthralgia, myalgia, headache and erythema were considered as local and systemic AEs for safety population. |

Baseline Biomarker-positive Participants for mITT Population: Change From Baseline in Flow Cytometry Response Magnitude at Week 15
Assessment of cellular immune activity was measured using the application flow cytometry for the purposes of performing a Lytic Granule Loading Assay. The Lytic Granule Loading assay examines the following external cellular markers: CD3, CD4, CD8 (T cell identification), CD137, CD38, and CD69 (T cell activation markers) as well as PD-1 (exhaustion/activation marker). Here, changes from baseline in the percentage of CD8+CD137+Perforin+, CD8+CD38+Perforin+, and CD8+CD69+Perforin+ are reported.

Baseline Biomarker-positive Participants for Safety Population: Number of Participants With Any Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as AEs. Nausea, fatigue, injection site bruising, injection site erythema, injection site haematoma, injection site induration, injection site pain, injection site pruritus, injection site swelling, malaise, pyrexia, arthralgia, myalgia, headache and erythema were considered as local and systemic AEs for baseline biomarker-positive participants for safety population.

AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Serious AE (SAE) is any experience that suggested significant hazard, contraindication, side effect/precaution, & fulfilled any of the following: fatal, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was medically significant/required intervention to prevent other outcomes. TEAEs are any AEs starting on or after the first administration of any investigational product (IP). TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs. UADE is any SAE on health/safety or any life-threatening problem/death caused by, or associated with a device, if that effect, problem/death was not previously identified in nature, severity/degree of incidence in the investigational plan or application.

ITT Population: Percentage of Participants With No Progression of Cervical HSIL to Cervical Carcinoma
Participants with no histologic evidence of cervical AIS or cervical carcinoma at Week 36 relative to baseline and participants who did not have unscheduled excision or biopsy sample obtained between the initial dose up to Week 36 were considered to be responders. The efficacy time frame is defined by a biopsy or surgical excision at any time starting from 14 days prior to the protocol-specified target date of Week 36. The first tissue removal sample within the time frame determines the histology endpoint.
Time frame: From Baseline at Week 36
Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized.

mITT Population: Change From Baseline in Flow Cytometry Response Magnitude at Week 15
Assessment of cellular immune activity was measured using the application flow cytometry for the purposes of performing a Lytic Granule Loading Assay. The Lytic Granule Loading assay examines the following external cellular markers: CD3, CD4, CD8 (T cell identification), CD137, CD38, and CD69 (T cell activation markers) as well as PD-1 (exhaustion/activation marker). Here, changes from baseline in the percentage of CD8+CD137+Perforin+, CD8+CD38+Perforin+, and CD8+CD69+Perforin+ are reported.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 15
Population: mITT population included all participants who received at least one dose of clinical trial treatment and who had an analysis endpoint of interest. Overall number of participants analyzed is the number of participants with data available for this outcome measure. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis at the specified timepoints.

Safety Population: Number of Participants With Any TEAEs and Serious TEAEs (Including SUSAR and UADE)
AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. SAE is any experience that suggested significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution, and fulfilled any of the following criteria: fatal, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was medically significant or required intervention to prevent other outcomes. TEAEs are defined as AEs starting on or after the first administration of any IP. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs. UADE is any SAE on health/safety or any life-threatening problem/death caused by, or associated with a device, if that effect, problem/death was not previously identified in nature, severity/degree of incidence in the investigational plan or application.
Time frame: From Baseline to Week 40
Population: Safety set included all participants who received at least one dose of study treatment. 1 participant received mixed treatment in error. Safety data for this participant has been presented in a separate arm.

Safety Population: Number of Participants With Local and Systemic AEs
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as AEs. Nausea, chills, fatigue, injection site bruising, injection site erythema, injection site haematoma, injection site haemorrhage, injection site induration, injection site oedema, injection site pain, injection site paraesthesia, injection site pruritus, injection site swelling, malaise, pain, pyrexia, temperature regulation disorder, arthralgia, myalgia, headache and erythema were considered as local and systemic AEs for safety population.
