Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the immunogenicity and safety of the 9vHPV vaccine in healthy Chinese females 9 to 45 years of age. The study consists of Stage I (Day 1 to Month 7) and Stage II (post Month 7 to Month 60). Stage II will report the long-term immunogenicity and safety in the 9-19 year-old age group only. The dual-primary hypotheses of Stage I are that 9vHPV vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in females 9 to 19 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type compared to females 20 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type, as measured by anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 GMTs at 1 month post Dose 3, and 9vHPV vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in females 27 to 45 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type compared to females 20 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV type, as measured by the seroconversion percentages to each of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 at 1 month post Dose 3. (Each vaccine component will be analyzed separately.)

An SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event. The percentage of participants that experienced 1 or more SAEs will be summarized.	Day 1 to Month 7
Secondary	Stage I: Percentage of Participants with Elevated Axillary Temperature (=37.1 C)	Participant or participant's legally acceptable representative will be asked to record axillary temperature in the evening after each study vaccination and daily, at the same time of day whenever possible, for 7 days after each study vaccination in the VRC.
