Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. GMTs to HPV Types 31/33/45/52/58

    Serum antibodies to HPV types 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL.

    Measured: 4 weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Are Seropositive for HPV Types 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58

    Serum antibodies to HPV types were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. 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; HPV Type 58: ≥8.

    Measured: 4 weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)

  3. Percentage of Participants With One or More Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants with one or more adverse events was assessed.

    Measured: Up to 15 days after any vaccination

  4. Percentage of Participants With Study Discontinuation Due to an Adverse Event

    The percentage of participants discontinued from the study due to an adverse event was assessed.

    Measured: Up to Month 7

  5. Percentage of Participants With One or More Injection-site Adverse Reactions

    The percentage of participants with one or more injection-site adverse reactions (solicited or unsolicited) was assessed.

    Measured: Up to 5 days after any vaccination

  6. Percentage of Participants With Maximum Temperature ≥37.8 °C

    The percentage of participants with a maximum temperature ≥37.8 °C was assessed.

    Measured: Up to 5 days after any vaccination

  7. Percentage of Participants With One or More Systemic Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants with one or more systemic adverse events was assessed.

    Measured: Up to 15 days after any vaccination

  8. Percentage of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants with one or more serious adverse events was assessed.

    Measured: Up to 15 days after any vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing V503 and GARDASIL in people with Papilloma Viral Infection, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 7 sites in 3 countries.

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 18 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 1 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany. 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 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 Nov 2018). 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) to HPV Types 6/11/16/18 (time frame: 4 weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)). 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 NCT02114385, which also lists 2 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 1 Nov 2018.
