Phase 3 Trial to Study Alternate 2-Dose Regimens of a Bivalent HPV Vaccine (Cecolin®) in Young Girls

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Anti-HPV 16 and 18 IgG antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC), measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) one month after the second dose on Month 7 (for the 0, 6-month arms), Month 13 (for the 0, 12-month arm) or Month 25 (for the 0, 24-month arm) following vaccination

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Anti-HPV 16 and 18 serum neutralizing antibody geometric mean titer measured by PBNA compared to ELISA at all time points (in a representative subset);Seroconversion rate, defined as a 4-fold rise in anti-HPV 16 and 18 IgG antibody as measured by ELISA, at baseline and one month following the last dose;Anti-HPV16 and 18 IgG antibody GMC measured by ELISA one month following the last dose of the Gardasil® 0-6 month two dose regimen and the Gardasil®-Cecolin® 0-24 month two dose regimen;Anti-HPV16 and 18 IgG antibody GMC measured by ELISA 24 months following the first dose of the Gardasil® 0-6 month two dose regimen and the Cecolin® 0-6 month two dose regimen;Number of subjects in each study arm reporting solicited adverse events within 7 days after each dose, Number of subjects in each study arm reporting unsolicited adverse events within one month after each dose, Number of subjects in each study arm reporting serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring at any time throughout study participation
