What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experience an Injection-site Adverse Event (AE) - Base Study

    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. The percentage of participants who reported an AE that was associated with the injection site such as redness, swelling, and pain/tenderness/soreness was summarized.

    Measured: up to 5 days after any vaccination - Base Study

  2. Percentage of Participants With Body Temperature ≥100.0°F (≥37.8ºC) - Base Study

    Participants collected their oral body temperature in the evening of their vaccination day and at the same time each day thereafter for 4 days. The maximum body temperature obtained within 5 days of any of the 3 vaccinations was recorded.

    Measured: up to 5 days after any vaccination - Base Study

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Experience a Systemic AE - Base Study

    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. Systemic AEs were those not categorized as injection-site AEs.

    Measured: up to 14 days after any vaccination - Base Study

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Experience a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Within 15 Days of Any Vaccination - Base Study

    An SAE is one that results in death, disability/incapacity, or hospitalization or is life threatening, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, cancer, an overdose, or otherwise jeopardizes the participant and may require medical intervention.

    Measured: up to 14 days after any vaccination - Base Study

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Experience a Vaccine-related SAE Any Time During Study- Base Study

    An SAE is one that results in death, disability/incapacity, or hospitalization or is life threatening, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, cancer, an overdose, or otherwise jeopardizes the participant and may require medical intervention. An SAE that is judged by the Investigator to be "definitely related," "probably related," or "possibly related" is defined as a vaccine-related SAE.

    Measured: Up to 7 months - Base Study

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Experience a Severe Injection-site AE - Base Study

    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. Participants were instructed to estimate the severity of AEs such as pain at injection site as mild (awareness of symptom, but easily tolerated), moderate (discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activities), or severe (incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity). Additionally, participants were instructed to measure any swelling and/or erythema at its greatest width. Swelling or erythema with diameter >2 inches (>5 cm) was recorded as severe. All AEs associated with the injection site and reported as severe were summarized.

    Measured: up to 5 days after any vaccination - Base Study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Seroconvert to Each of the HPV Types Contained in the Vaccine - Base Study

    Serum antibody titers for HPV virus-like particles (VLPs), Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 were determined 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 using competitive luminex immunoassay (cLIA). The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were 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: 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 (Month 7; End of Base Study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing V503 in people with Cervical Cancers and Vulvar Cancers, 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 13 inclusion and 12 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 27 Nov 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 22 Dec 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experience an Injection-site Adverse Event (AE) - Base Study (time frame: up to 5 days after any vaccination - Base Study). The study lists 6 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 NCT01047345, 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 27 Nov 2018.
