Brief Summary

Moffitt Cancer Center is the Coordinating Center for this study. The purpose of this study is to develop and test the infrastructure to conduct a future Phase III vaccine efficacy trial to assess trial feasibility, and to assess human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution, data needed to design a Phase III trial. The investigators propose to conduct a Preparedness study among women ages 16-24 years of age residing in a region of South Africa with a high human immunodeficiency (HIV) incidence and prevalence. The specific aims of this study are to:

  1. 1.Identify, recruit, enroll, and randomize a cohort of HIV negative women (200 per arm, 400 total) ages 16-24 years to an HPV vaccine against 4 types (HPV 6, 11, 16, 18 \[Gardasil\]) or placebo vaccine.
  2. 2.Determine the cervical HPV prevalence and type distribution at enrollment, and cervical lesion prevalence among young females ages 16-24 years at high risk for HIV infection.
  3. 3.Assess the rate of compliance through the 3-dose vaccination series

Study Arms (2)

Gardasil Vaccine Administration

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Gardasil Vaccine Administration. Family Health International (FHI) statisticians randomly assigned each participant an allocation number and then subsequently assigned a unique vial identification number for the vial of vaccine the participant should receive at each visit. A single participant could not be assigned more than 1 allocation number.

Biological: Gardasil Vaccine

Placebo Administration

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo Administration. Family Health International (FHI) statisticians randomly assigned each participant an allocation number and then subsequently assigned a unique vial identification number for the vial of vaccine the participant should receive at each visit. A single participant could not be assigned more than 1 allocation number.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

The study vaccine was blindly administered as supplied on Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6. All vaccines were injected intramuscularly into the deltoid muscle by a member of the clinical staff.

Limitations and Caveats

The EVRI Trial had a short duration with limited follow-up time; therefore, clinical efficacy in reducing HIV acquisition cannot be assessed.
