NCT00779766

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter study in which women are planned to receive either the HPV vaccine or control. Study participation will last approximately 72 months and involves a total of thirteen or fourteen scheduled visits. Originally, the study was planned for 24 months. It was then extended for 2 more years with 4 additional visits (study end at Month 48). The protocol posting has been updated as the study was extended by additional 2 years with two or three additional visits (study end at Month 72) for subjects who consent to participate in the extension.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Number of Subjects With Histopathologically-confirmed Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN1+) and/or Persistent Infection (6 Month+ Definition) Associated With Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and/or HPV-18 at Month 24

    CIN1+ = CIN 1, 2, and 3, low/high-grade cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (L/HCGIN), adenocarcinoma in-situ (AIS) or invasive cervical cancer. Persistent infection (6-month+ definition) = at least 2 positive HPV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for the same viral genotype with no negative DNA sample between the 2 positive DNA samples, over an interval of approximately 6 months. The analyses were done on subjects HPV DNA negative at baseline (Month 0) and Month 6 and seronegative at baseline (Month 0) or on subjects DNA negative at baseline (Month 0) and Month 6, regardless of initial serostatus.

    At Month 24
