About this study

Six identical female twins aged 9-13 years will participate. One sib of each twin pair will be given Cervarix according to the 0, 1, 6 month vaccination scheme, while the other sib will be given Gardasil according to the 0, 2, 6 month vaccination scheme. Three blood samples will be taken (the first prior to vaccine administration, the second and third 7 days after dose 2 and 3, respectively). The blood samples will be used to determine: 1) the magnitude the anti-HPV 16 and anti-HPV-18 antibody responses, 2) as well as the cross-reactive pattern of these responses towards related, non-vaccine HPV strains (HPV-31 and -33, and HPV-45). 3) plasmablast isolated from blood taken 7 days after the 3rd dose in the first place (and eventually after the 2nd dose also) will be examined for for the usage of VDJ and VJ segments in the immunoglobulin heavy (VH) and light (VL) heavy and light chains. Gene useg in B cells induced by Cervarix and Gardasil will be compared. Finally the cross-reactive potential of monoclonal antibodies obtained by eukaryotic expression of a series of heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains from single ASC isolated after the 3rd dose of a three-dose schedule of either Cervarix or Gardasil will be examined.

The duration of the study is approximately 187 days. Five study visits will take place, over a time period of 6.5 months, followed by a telephone call after 12 months.

The purpose of the study is to learn more about the molecular mechanisms underlying the cross-neutralizing capacity of AS04-adjuvanted HPV vaccine (Cervarix®) in comparison with the aluminiumhydroxyphosphate sulphate adjuvanted HPV vaccine (Gardasil®).

cervarix, Gardasil

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    3 doses will be given, one on Day 0, one on Day 30 and one on Day 180 ± 7 days, intramuscular in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm

  • GardasilBiological

    Also called Merck's commercially availably quadrivalent HPV(types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine containing amorphous aluminiumhydroxyphosphate sulphate adjuvant

    3 doses will be given, one on Day 0, one on Day 60 ± 2 days and one on Day 180 ± 7 days, intramuscular in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm

What is being measured

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

  1. comparing of VDJ and VJ segments in the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains/plasmablasts

    Measured: at day 187

  2. comparing the mutational diversity that occurs following vaccine-induced affinity maturation in plasmablasts

    Measured: at day 187

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. evaluation of the cross-reactive pattern of polyclonal serum antibodies

    Measured: at day 187

  2. comparing of VDJ and VJ segment usage and affinity maturation in HPV-specific antibodies

    Measured: at day 187

  3. comparing of the cross-reactive potential of monoclonal antibodies obtained by eukaryotic expression of a series of heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains from single ASC

    Measured: at day 187

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing cervarix and Gardasil in people with Infection With Human Papillomavirus, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 9 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

comparing of VDJ and VJ segments in the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains/plasmablasts (time frame: at day 187). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Dec 2022.
