NCT05237947

Brief Summary

This phase IV trial tests whether a single dose of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine works in preventing cervical cancer in young women in Costa Rica. Human papilloma viruses, called HPV, are a group of viruses that very frequently cause infection in both men and women, mainly in the genital organs. There are many types of HPV, and some can cause cancer. The World Health Organization recommends a two-dose schedule for adolescents 9-14 and three doses for individuals 15 years old or older. This study examines whether a single dose of HPV vaccine can reduce the frequency with which women between ages 18-30 become infected with HPV.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection

    Will estimate the rate of incident persistent infections (i.e. the primary endpoint defined above) in each of the three arms of an according to protocol (ATP) cohort and then estimate the two Vaccine Efficacies (VE), comparing each HPV vaccine arm against the control arm. Will require a one-sided p-value of \< 0.0125 for statistical significance. The 97.5% confidence intervals for the VE will be calculated by inverting appropriate hypotheses tests.

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Benefit of one dose of HPV vaccination compared to no vaccination

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

  • Health impact of older-age single-dose HPV vaccination

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

  • Immunogenicity (absolute levels and stability of serum antibodies) of single dose HPV vaccination

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

  • New HPV16/18 anal infection

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

  • New HPV16/18 oral infection

    6-month persistence observed during follow-up

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • DEFERRAL CRITERIA AT ENROLLMENT VISIT: The enrollment visit will be deferred (i.e., rescheduled for another date) for participants if: the self-collected cervical sample is not able to be collected.
  • DEFERRAL CRITERIA AT THE VACCINATION VISIT: The vaccination visit will be deferred (i.e., rescheduled for another date) for participants if:
  • They have an acute disease that precludes vaccination (though vaccines can be administered to potential participants with a minor illness such as diarrhea and mild upper respiratory infection)
  • They are receiving immunosuppressive treatment, e.g. corticosteroids
  • They have received any registered vaccine in the last 15 days.
