Brief summary

A Study to evaluate if the 3 dose extended schedule (0-6-18 months) for the HPV vaccine Gardasil-9 provide similar immune responses and short term protection against HPV infection compared to the regular 3 dose schedule (0-2-6 months) in high risk women in Vietnam

Detailed description

Primary objective: To determine whether antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) to vaccine type HPV16 and HPV18 at 7 months (m) are non-inferior between female sex workers (FSW) aged 18-26 years who received the standard (0, 2m, 6m) and those received the extended 3-dose (at 0, 6m and 18m) 9vHPV schedule and age-matched non-FSW who received an extended 3-dose (at 0, 6m and 18m) 9vHPV schedule. This extended 3-dose schedule is in line with the recommended schedule by the vaccine manufacturer in Vietnam. Secondary objectives: 1. To compare antibody GMT at 2m, 7m, 18m and 19m between FSW who are HPV DNA+/seropositive with FSW who are HPV DNA-/seronegative at baseline. 2. To compare antibody GMT at 18m and 19m between FSW and non-FSW. 3. To determine cellular immune responses to HPV16 and 18 at baseline, 2m, 7m, 18m and 19m. 4. To measure incidence and 6m/12m/18m persistent HPV infection. Primary hypothesis: HPV antibody GMT to HPV16 and 18 in FSW is non-inferior to those of young women of the same age group (non-FSW) at 7m. Secondary hypothesis: 1. HPV antibody GMT are similar at 2m, 7m, 18m and 19m between FSW who are HPV DNA+/seropositive and HPV DNA-/seronegative at month 0. 2. HPV antibody GMT are similar at 18m and 19m between FSW and non-FSW who received the extended schedule. 3. Cellular immune responses to HPV16 and 18 are similar between FSW and non-FSW at 2m, 7m, 18m and 19m who received the extended schedule. 4. No new vaccine-type HPV infection in FSW and non-FSW in all groups at 6m, 12m, 18m.

Masking description

Participants (FSW groups) will be randomly assigned to either of the vaccine schedules and will be given IDs. The link between participant IDs and vaccine groups are only known by Investigator. Barcodes will be used for samples and no personal identification nor participant ID is allowed in the samples.
