About this study

Official title: A Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Quadrivalent HPV (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) L1 Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Vaccine in Preadolescents and Adolescents (Base Study). A Long Term Immunogenicity, Safety, and Effectiveness Study of GARDASIL (Human Papillomavirus [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) Among Adolescents Who Received GARDASIL at 9-18 Years of Age (Extension Study).

This study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of an investigational vaccine in preadolescent and adolescent boys and girls for the prevention of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Read the detailed description

The original base protocol (V501-018)(NCT00092547) was extended in amendments V501-018-05 and -06 to provide 37 months of follow-up. Additionally, subjects in the Placebo Group during the base study were given 3 doses of open-label GARDASIL™ (V501) at Months 30, 32, and 36.

The study was extended again in amendment V501-018-10(NCT00092547), titled "A Long Term Immunogenicity, Safety, and Effectiveness Study of GARDASIL (Human Papillomavirus [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) Among Adolescents Who Received GARDASIL at 9-18 Years of Age" to allow a follow-up period to Month 126.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Experiences (SAEs) Through Month 18

    Tolerability as assessed by the number of participants with clinical adverse experiences through Month 18. A serious adverse event is any adverse event that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is considered an "other important medical event" based on medical judgment.

    Measured: Up to Month 18

  2. Number of Participants Reporting SAEs From Month 18 Through Month 37

    Tolerability as assessed by the number of participants with clinical adverse experiences from Month 18 through Month 37

    Measured: Month 18 to Month 37

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Other (Non-serious) AEs Through Month 18

    Tolerability as assessed by the number of participants with clinical adverse experiences through Month 18

    Measured: Up to Month 18: Injection site AEs were collected from Days 1-5 and other non-serious AEs from Days 1-15 after any vaccination

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Are Seropositive for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 at Month 72

    Measured: Month 126 (120 Months Post-dose 3 for Original qHPV Vaccine Cohort and 90 Months Post-dose 3 for Extension Group)

  10. Number of Participants Reporting SAEs Related to Study Vaccine or to a Study Procedure in the Long-term Follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing V501 in people with Human and Papillomavirus Infections, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2018. 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 4 May 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Experiences (SAEs) Through Month 18 (time frame: Up to Month 18). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00092547, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2018.
