Official title:
A Phase 3 Open-Label Clinical Trial to Study the Immunogenicity, Safety and Tolerability of Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) Vaccine (V501) in Chinese Girls Aged 9-19 Years and Young Women Aged 20-26 Years

This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of Gardasil® (quadrivalent human papillomavirus [qHPV] vaccine, V501) in Chinese girls aged 9-19 years and young women aged 20-26 years. The primary hypothesis of the study states that at 1 month postdose 3, a 3-dose regimen of V501 induces non-inferior geometric mean titers (GMTs) for serum anti-HPV 6, anti-HPV 11, anti-HPV 16, anti-HPV 18 in girls aged 9-19 years compared to young women aged 20-26 years.

| Primary | Geometric Mean Titers for Serum Anti-Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Types 6, 11, 16, and 18: Competitive Luminex Immunoassay (cLIA): Base Stage | Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a cLIA. Antibody titers were expressed as milli Merck Units/milliliter (mMU/mL). | Month 7 (1 month postdose 3) | |
| Primary | Antibody Titers as Measured by cLIA: Extension Stage | Geometric mean titers to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 will be assessed. Antibodies will be measured using a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay (cLIA). This Outcome Measure applies only to participants aged 9 to 19 years. | Month 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 | |
| Primary | Seropositivity Rates as Measured by cLIA: Extension Stage: | The percentage of participants who are seropositive to each of HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 will be assessed. Antibodies will be measured using cLIA. This Outcome Measure applies only to participants aged 9 to 19 years. | Month 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 | |
| Primary | Antibody Titers as Measured by Immunoglobulin G Luminex Immunoassay: Extension Stage: | Geometric mean titers to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 will be assessed. Antibodies will be measured using an Immunoglobulin G Luminex Immunoassay (IgG LIA). This Outcome Measure applies only to participants aged 9 to 19 years. | Month 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 | |

| Secondary | Maximum Axillary Temperature: Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) Criteria: Base Stage | In the global studies, fever is defined as an oral temperature of =37.8°C or 100.0°F, which is equivalent to axillary temperature of =37.2°C, while the definition of fever is axillary temperature of =37.1°C in Chinese criteria. To be compliant to Chinese criteria, axillary temperatures of =37.1°C was considered as a fever in this study. Body temperature readings assessed orally were converted to the axillary equivalent. The percentage of participants with a maximum axillary or converted axillary temperature was summarized by temperature range. | Up to 5 days after any vaccination | |
| Secondary | Serious Adverse Events: Extension Stage: | The percentage of participants with an SAE will be assessed. An SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, according to medical or scientific judgment, may jeopardize the participant or requires medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition.
