About this study

Official title: Safety, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy of Gardasil (V501 (Human Papilloma Virus [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) in Mid-Adult Women - The FUTURE III (Females United to Unilaterally Reduce Endo/Ectocervical Cancer) Study

This study was conducted to assess the safety, immunogenicity, efficacy and long-term effectiveness of a vaccine being evaluated for the prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and disease in mid-adult women.

Read the detailed description

The Base study vaccination period (V501-019) encompassed Day 1 through Month 7, during which time participants received randomly assigned, blinded Gardasil™ (V501, qHPV vaccine) or placebo at Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6. The Base study follow-up period continued through approximately Month 48.

The base study was extended in protocol V501-019-10 (EXT1). Participants who received placebo and participants who received only 1 dose of qHPV vaccine in the Base Study were offered a complete, open-label, 3-dose qHPV vaccine regimen (administered at EXT1 Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6). Participants who received only 2 doses of qHPV vaccine in the base study were offered a single additional dose of qHPV vaccine (administered at EXT1 Day 1). Participants were followed to EXT1 Month 7.

A Long Term Follow-Up (LTFU) extension study V501-019-21 (EXT2) was added to observe the long term safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of qHPV vaccine in approximately 1,600 women who participated in the Base Study at sites in Colombia. Data were collected over a period of 6-10 years following participant's enrollment in the original Base Study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence Rate of HPV 6/11/16/18 Related Persistent Infection, Genital Warts, VIN, VaIN, Vulvar Cancer, Vaginal Cancer, Cervical Dysplasia, Cervical AIS, and Cervical Cancer

    The four HPV types were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. VIN = vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia; VaIN = vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia; AIS = adenocarcinoma in situ.

    Measured: Up to 48 months (4 years) after the first dose of qHPV vaccine in the Base Study

  2. Number of Participants With Vaccine- or Placebo-Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in the Base Study

    An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse event. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs a hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, or is an overdose. Vaccine-related SAEs are those deemed by the investigator to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to study vaccine.

    Measured: Up to Month 48 (up to 42 months after the third dose of qHPV vaccine in the Base Study)

  3. Number of Participants With Vaccine-Related SAEs After Vaccine Administration

    An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse event. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs a hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, or is an overdose. Vaccine-related SAEs are those deemed by the investigator to be definitely, probably, or possibly related to study vaccine.

    Measured: qHPV in Base Study: Up to Month 120; Placebo in Base Study: approximately Month 60 up to Month 120

  4. Number of Participants With an SAE Resulting in Death After Vaccine Administration

    An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an adverse event. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs a hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, or is an overdose.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Feb 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
