Brief Summary

Genital infections with oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV) are common in both men and women. The most important disease associated with oncogenic HPV infection is cervical cancer, currently the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women globally. The current study is designed to evaluate the overall impact of HPV immunization in adolescents 12-15 years of age.

Conditions

Infections, Papillomavirus

Keywords

HPV vaccine; Healthy adolescents; Cervical cancer; Safety; Immunogenicity; Cervarix

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of Female Subjects With Overall Vaccine Effectiveness Against Genital Infection With Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-16/18 Types in Cervarix/Engerix-B B Group Versus Engerix-B Group and in Cervarix/Engerix-B A Group Versus Engerix-B Group

  The analysis of overall effectiveness of Cervarix vaccine against genital infection with HPV-16/18 types was based on stratified Mantel-Haenszel adjusted for clustering. The overall vaccine effectiveness was computed as 1- the prevalence odd ratio in all subjects from the investigated group (prevalence rate in all subjects from the investigated group/prevalence rate in all subjects from Engerix-B Group).

  At the time of Visit 5 (i.e. at 18.5 years of age)

Secondary Outcomes (15)

• Number of Female Subjects With Overall Vaccine Effectiveness Against Genital Infection With HPV-16/18 Types in Cervarix/Engerix-B A Group Versus Cervarix/Engerix-B B Group

  At the time of Visit 5 (i.e. at 18.5 years of age)

• Number of Female Subjects With Overall Vaccine Effectiveness Against Genital Oncogenic Infection With Specific HPV Types

  At the time of Visit 5 (i.e. at 18.5 years of age)

• Number of Female Subjects With Total Vaccine Effectiveness Against Oropharyngeal Infection With HPV-16/18 Types

  At the time of Visit 5 (i.e. at 18.5 years of age)

• Number of Female Subjects With Total Vaccine Effectiveness Against Oropharyngeal Oncogenic Infection With Specific HPV Types

  At the time of Visit 5 (at 18.5 years of age)

• Number of Male Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms, in a Subset of Subjects

  During the 7-day post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses

Study Arms (3)

Cervarix/Engerix-B A Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The A group includes subjects from communities where 70% of male and female adolescents were to be vaccinated with Cervarix vaccine. To achieve a Cervarix vaccination coverage of 70%, a 9:1 ratio was used to allocate study participants to receive Cervarix vaccine versus control Engerix-B vaccine (meaning 90% of vaccinated subjects were randomized to Cervarix). Finally, subjects from A group were either vaccinated with Cervarix, Engerix-B (control vaccine), or not vaccinated (enrolled control without vaccination). Vaccines were administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm according to a 0, 1, 6-month schedule.

Biological: Cervarix; Biological: Engerix-B

Cervarix/Engerix-B B Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The B group includes subjects from communities where 70% of female adolescents were to be vaccinated with Cervarix vaccine. To achieve a Cervarix vaccination coverage of 70%, a 9:1 ratio was used to allocate female participants to receive Cervarix vaccine versus control Engerix-B vaccine (meaning 90% of vaccinated females were randomized to Cervarix). In this group, all male adolescents were to be vaccinated with Engerix-B control vaccine. Finally, subjects from B group were either vaccinated with Cervarix (females) or Engerix-B/not vaccinated (males and females). Vaccines were administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm according to a 0, 1, 6-month schedule.

Biological: Cervarix; Biological: Engerix-B

Engerix-B Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this control group, all adolescents were to be vaccinated with Engerix-B control vaccine. Finally, subjects from this group were either vaccinated with Engerix-B or not vaccinated. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region of the non-dominant arm according to a 0, 1, 6-month schedule.

Biological: Engerix-B

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 12 Years - 15 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Study participants who the investigator or delegate believes that they and/or their parents/legally acceptable representative can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visits) should be enrolled in the study.
• A male or female between, and including, 12 and 15 years of age at the time of the first vaccination.
• A written informed assent must be obtained from all study participants prior to enrolment. In addition, a written informed consent must be obtained from the study participants' parent or legally acceptable representative.
• Note: As according to the Finnish law legal age of consent is 15 years, a written informed consent form can be obtained from study participants aged 15 years old and their parent(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) will receive a letter informing them of their child participation to the study.
• Healthy male and female study participants as established by medical history before entering into the study. If needed, a history-directed clinical examination will be performed by the investigator or delegate (e.g. study nurse).
• Study participants must not be pregnant. Absence of pregnancy should be verified (e.g. urine pregnancy test) as per investigator's or delegate's clinical judgement.
• If the study participant is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. be abstinent, have a current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or be post-menopausal or pre-menarcheal, or if she is of childbearing potential, she must use adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination and continue for 2 months after completion of the vaccination series.

You may not qualify if:

• Previous vaccination against HPV or Hepatitis B virus.
• History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.
• Acute disease at the time of enrolment. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. Oral temperature \<37.5°C (99.5°F) / Axillary temperature \<37.5°C (99.5°F) / Rectal temperature \<38°C (100.4°F).)
• Pregnant or lactating female.
