About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of the Immunogenicity of a Two-dose Protocol for 9-valent Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination in Postpartum Girls and Women (15-45 Years Old) Previously Unvaccinated Against HPV

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States (U.S.) and is responsible for a wide range of conditions, including cancers within the anogenital tract and the oropharynx. In just the U.S. alone, it's estimated that HPV causes 330,000 cases of precancerous cervical dysplasia and 12,000 cases of cervical cancer. The investigators propose a 2-dose HPV vaccination study in women seeking postpartum care at Johns Hopkins University. The investigators will measure the immunogenicity and acceptability of the vaccine in the postpartum setting.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot, non-inferiority clinical trial using historical controls. Participants will have whole blood drawn at 0 months, 6 months, and 7 months and receive the HPV vaccine at 0 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Each blood draw will consist of one 15mL red top tube to measure HPV serologies and hormone levels. All blood samples collected will be analyzed at the end of the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Gardasil9Biological

    Two doses of the HPV vaccine across a 12 month period (two doses of 0.5mL).

Study groups in NCT04274153
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gardasil9ExperimentalTwo doses of the 9-valent HPV vaccine to be administered to participants at 0 and 6 months. Additional HPV vaccine dose will be offered after final blood draw at 12 months.
Receives: Biological: Gardasil9

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunogenicity of a Two-dose 9-valent HPV Vaccination as Assessed by Antibody Titer

    Measure the immunogenicity of a two-dose 9-valent HPV vaccination regimen in postpartum women previously unvaccinated against the HPV 16 virus. Immunogenicity will be assessed by the antibody responses. The Geometric mean titers will be measured using milli Merck units (mMU)/mL.

    Measured: Up to 23 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Antibody Response to the Other 8 HPV Types

    The antibody types that will be measured are HPV types 6, 11, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.

    The milli Merck units (mMU)/mL of measure will be used to determine antibody response.

    Measured: Up to 23 months

  2. Seropositivity for HPV 16 After 1-dose

    Calculate the percentage of participants that seroconverted.

    Measured: After the first dose, up to 7 months

  3. Seropositivity for HPV 16 After 2-doses

    Calculate the percentage of participants that seroconverted.

    Measured: After the second dose, up to 2 months

  4. Percentage of Participants With Baseline Titers Suggestive of Natural Inoculation or Prior Vaccination to HPV 16

    Running an assay to measure a participants natural inoculation or prior vaccination before administration of the 1st dose.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Complete 2-dose Vaccination

    Calculate the amount of participants that complete 2-dose vaccination.

    Measured: At the end of the study, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Gardasil9 in people with HPV and Immunization, run by Johns Hopkins University at 2 sites in United States.

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 7 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 29 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2023). 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?

Immunogenicity of a Two-dose 9-valent HPV Vaccination as Assessed by Antibody Titer (time frame: Up to 23 months). 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 NCT04274153, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Aug 2023.
