Human Papillomavirus-Related Cervical Carcinoma | Biological: Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) Recombinant Vaccine Biological: Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Bivalent Vaccine | Phase 3 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To demonstrate that the immunogenicity (as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) of a single dose of recombinant human papillomavirus bivalent vaccine (Cervarix) in 9-14 year old girls is non-inferior to the immunogenicity of three doses of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine (Gardasil), administered at 0, 2, and 6 months, in 18-25 year old women 36 months after initial vaccination, with an interim analysis at 24 months after initial vaccination.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the distribution of HPV -16 and HPV-18 antibodies levels, assessed at 24 and 36 months after initial vaccination, following a single dose of Cervarix in 9-14 year old girls and three doses of Gardasil, administered at 0, 2, and 6 months, in 18-25 year old women.
II. To compare rates of seroconversion based on HPV-16 and HPV-18 antibody levels, assessed at 24 and 36 months after initial vaccination, following a single dose of Cervarix in 9-14 year old girls and three doses of Gardasil, administered at 0, 2, and 6 months, in 18-25 year old women.
III. To compare geometric mean titers (GMTs), distributions, and seroconversion rates for HPV-16 and HPV-18 antibodies, assessed at 24 and 36 months after initial vaccination, following a single dose of Cervarix in 9-11 year old girls and three doses of Gardasil, administered at 0, 2, and 6 months, in 18-25 year old women; to perform a similar comparison restricting to 12-14 year old girls.
IV. To compare GMTs, distributions, and seroconversion rates for HPV-16 and HPV-18 antibodies, assessed at 1-month after vaccination and 1-year after vaccination, following a single dose of Cervarix in 9-10 year old girls and a single dose of Cervarix in 11-14 year old girls.
V. To evaluate whether baseline variables (e.g. geographic district, initial antibody levels, date of vaccination) are associated with GMTs, distributions, and seroconversion rates for HPV16 and HPV-18 antibodies, assessed at 24 and 36 months after initial vaccination.
OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Participants 9-14 years old receive Cervarix intramuscularly (IM) at baseline.
GROUP II: Participants 18-25 years old receive Gardasil IM at baseline and at 2 and 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of trial vaccine dose(s), participants are followed up at 1, 12, 24, and 36 months.

- Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 antibody level [ Time Frame: At 24 months after initial vaccination ]Will measure HPV-16 specific serum antibody using the HPV type-specific enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) on serum. Will estimate the two-sided 99% confidence interval of the geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 24 months and the two-sided 96% confidence intervals of the GMT ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 36 months.
- HPV-16 antibody level [ Time Frame: At 36 months after initial vaccination ]Will measure HPV-16 specific serum antibody using the HPV type-specific ELISA on serum. Will estimate the two-sided 99% confidence interval of the GMT ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 24 months and the two-sided 96% confidence intervals of the GMT ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 36 months.
- HPV-18 antibody level [ Time Frame: At 24 months after initial vaccination ]Will measure HPV-18 specific serum antibody using the HPV type-specific ELISA on serum. Will estimate the two-sided 99% confidence interval of the GMT ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 24 months and the two-sided 96% confidence intervals of the GMT ratios for HPV-16 and HPV-18 at 36 months.
