What is being measured

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

  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of the Antibody Response to Each of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Types Contained in V503

    Serum antibody titers to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 were evaluated using a competitive Luminex immunoassay. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL.

    Measured: 4 weeks following Month 6 vaccination

  2. Percentage of Participants With >=4-fold Increase in Antibody Titers to Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroups

    For the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected at Day 1 (baseline) and 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected at Month 1 (baseline) and 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Bactericidal antibodies to Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured by incubating serial dilutions of serum with target N. meningitidis strains and complement, and enumerating the surviving bacteria after overnight incubation on blood agar plates. The serum bactericidal titer is reported as the reciprocal of the final serum dilution giving >50% killing in 60 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks following Day 1 (Concomitant) or Month 1 (Non-concomitant) vaccination

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Acceptable Titers of Anti-Diphtheria and Anti-Tetanus Antibody

    For the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Titers of neutralizing antibody to diphtheria toxin were measured using a cell-based Diphtheria Micrometabolic Inhibition assay. The lower limit of quantitation of the assay was defined as 0.01 International Units (IU)/mL. Serum titers of neutralizing antibody to tetanus toxin were measured using an enzyme immunoassay. The lower limit of quantitation of the assay was defined as 0.04 IU/mL. Acceptable titers refer to the World Health Organization-defined protective titers of >=0.1 IU/mL.

    Measured: 4 weeks following Day 1 or Month 1 vaccination

  4. Geometric Mean Titers of Pertussis Antibody Responses

    For the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after the Month 1 vaccination. Titers of anti-pertussis toxin (PT), anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), anti-pertactin (PRN), and anti-fimbriae 2/3 (FM 2/3) antibodies were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The titers were expressed as Enzyme-linked Immunoassay Units (ELU)/mL.

    Measured: 4 weeks following Day 1 or Month 1 vaccination

  5. Percentage of Participants With a V503 Injection-site Adverse Experience

    An adverse experience (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an AE. Only injection-site AEs in the arm that received V503 vaccination were reported for this endpoint.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 5 following Day 1 vaccination

  6. Percentage of Participants With a Menactra™ or Adacel™ Injection-site Adverse Experience

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an AE. Only injection-site AEs in the arm that received Menactra™ and Adacel™ vaccination were reported for this endpoint. For the Concomitant Vaccination group, injection-site AEs are reported following Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, injection-site AEs are reported following Month 1 vaccination.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 5 following Day 1 or Month 1 vaccination

  7. Percentage of Participants With Maximum Temperature >=37.8 °C (>=100.0 °F) (Oral or Oral Equivalent)

    For the Concomitant Vaccination group, temperatures were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 visit; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, temperatures were collected after the Day 1 vaccination and the Month 1 vaccination.

    Measured: Up to 5 days following the Day 1 and Month 1 vaccination / visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Seroconvert for Each of the HPV Types Contained in V503

    Blood was drawn at Month 7 and assayed to determine whether or not a participant had achieved seroconversion for the HPV types. The lower limit of the titer (milli Merck U/mL) considered seropositive was as follows: HPV Type 6: >=30, HPV Type 11: >=16; HPV Type 16: >=20, HPV Type 18: >=24, HPV Type 31: >=10, HPV Type 33: >=8, HPV Type 45: >=8, HPV Type 52: >=8, and HPV Type 58: >=8.

    Measured: Month 7

  2. Geometric Mean Titers of the Antibody Response to Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroups Contained in Menactra™

    Serum bactericidal antibodies to Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured by incubating serial dilutions of serum with target N. meningitidis strains and complement, and enumerating the surviving bacteria after overnight incubation on blood agar plates. The antibody titer is expressed as the reciprocal of the highest dilution that achieves >50% bacterial killing; a higher value represents a greater antibody response. For the Concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after Day 1 vaccination; for the Non-concomitant Vaccination group, serum samples were collected 4 weeks after Month 1 vaccination.

    Measured: 4 weeks following Day 1 or Month 1 vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing V503, Comparator: Menactra™ (Concomitant) and Comparator: Adacel™ (Concomitant) in people with Human Papillomavirus Infection, 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 4 inclusion and 13 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 14 Dec 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. 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 13 Jan 2015). 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?

Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of the Antibody Response to Each of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Types Contained in V503 (time frame: 4 weeks following Month 6 vaccination). The study lists 7 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 NCT00988884, which also lists 3 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 14 Dec 2018.
