Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective was to demonstrate that the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces noninferior Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for serum anti-HPV 6, anti-HPV 11, anti-HPV 16, anti-HPV 18, anti-HPV 31, anti-HPV 33, anti-HPV 45, anti-HPV 52, and anti-HPV 58 in preadolescent and adolescent boys and girls 9 to 15 years of age compared to young women 16 to 26 years of age. A protocol-specified lot consistency (Lots 1, 2, 3 separate) outcome analysis in 9 to 15 year-old girls was done in the base study only. Extension studies (EXT 1 and 2) were conducted up to Month 36 and ~11 years respectively. No study vaccine was given and 16-26 year olds were excluded from extensions; per protocol, extensions provided data for 9- to15-year-old girls (Lots 1, 2, 3 pooled) and 9- to 15-year-old boys.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.

    End point description
    Serum antibody titers for HPV virus-like particles (VLPs), Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 were determined 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 using a competitive luminex immunoassay (cLIA). Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL. The analysis population included 9-15-year-old females and 16-26-year-old females who received 3 vaccinations from Lot 1 and met following criteria for at least 1 of the 9 HPV types: no general protocol violations, received all 3 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, seronegative at Day 1 for HPV type(s), and had a Month 7 serum sample collected within an acceptable day range.

    End point title
    Base Study: GMTs for Each of the HPV Types Contained in the Vaccine (Lot Consistency Study) [39]
    End point description
    Serum antibody titers for HPV VLPs, Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 were determined 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 using cLIA. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL. The analysis population included 9-15-year-old females who received 3 vaccinations from Lots 1, 2, or 3 and met following criteria for at least 1 of the 9 HPV types: no general protocol violations, received all 3 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, seronegative at Day 1 for HPV type(s), and had a Month 7 serum sample collected within an acceptable day range.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    4 weeks post-vaccination 3 (Month 7)
    Notes
    [39] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: This endpoint included only the GMTs across 3 lots.

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the vaccine. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine was also an AE. AEs such as redness, swelling, and pain/tenderness/soreness at the injection site were recorded. The analysis population included all participants who received at least one dose of 9vHPV vaccine and had available follow-up data. Per protocol, data from 9- to 15-year-old females were pooled regardless of lot administered.

    Serum antibody titers (milli Merck Units/mL) measured by cLIA to each of the 9vHPV types were assessed. Per protocol, the extension study included data from 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered. The analysis population included all participants who (1) Received all 3 vaccinations with the correct dose of the correct clinical material within acceptable day ranges, (2) Were seronegative by cLIA to the appropriate HPV type at Day 1, (3) Had a Month 7 serology result within an acceptable day range and (4) Had no other protocol violations that could interfere with the evaluation of participant’s immune response to the study vaccine. To be included in the analysis population for HPV 6 and 11, participants must have been seronegative by cLIA to both HPV 6 and 11 at Day 1. To be included in the analysis population for any other vaccine HPV type, participants needed to be seronegative by cLIA at Day 1 only for the HPV type being analyzed.

    Base Study: Percentage of Participants who Seroconvert to Each of the HPV Types Contained in the Vaccine (9- to 15-Year-Old Males [Lot 1] versus 16- to 26-Year-Old Females [Lot 1]) [85]
    End point description
    Serum antibody titers for HPV VLPs, Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 were determined 4 weeks post-vaccination 3 using cLIA. The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥30, HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20, HPV Type 18: ≥24, HPV Type 31: ≥10, HPV Type 33: ≥8, HPV Type 45: ≥8, HPV Type 52: ≥8, and HPV Type 58: ≥8. The analysis population included 9-15-year-old males and 16-26-year-old females who received 3 vaccinations from Lot 1 and met following criteria for at least 1 of the 9 HPV types: no general protocol violations, received all 3 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, seronegative at Day 1 for HPV type(s), and had a Month 7 serum sample collected within an acceptable day range.

    Base Study: Percentage of Participants who Seroconvert to Each of the HPV Types Contained in the Vaccine (Lot Consistency Study) [95]
    End point description
    Serum antibody titers for HPV VLPs, Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 were determined 4 weeks post- vaccination 3 using cLIA. The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥30, HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20, HPV Type 18: ≥24, HPV Type 31: ≥10, HPV Type 33: ≥8, HPV Type 45: ≥8, HPV Type 52: ≥8, and HPV Type 58: ≥8. The analysis population included 9-15-year-old females who received 3 vaccinations from Lot 1, 2 or 3 and met following criteria for at least 1 of the 9 HPV types: no general protocol violations, received all 3 vaccinations within acceptable day ranges, seronegative at Day 1 for HPV type(s), and had a Month 7 serum sample collected within an acceptable day range.

    Notes
    [95] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: This endpoint included only females across 3 lots.

    End point description
    The combined incidence of all cervical/vulvar/vaginal cancers was assessed. Person-years follow-up was calculated starting from the beginning of the long-term follow-up study or the date when the study participant reached 16 years of age, whichever came later. Per protocol, the extension study included data from 9- to 15-year-old females regardless of lot administered. Incidence was estimated as cases per 10,000 person-years. The primary effectiveness analysis population was the per-protocol effectiveness population, which included participants who were seronegative (by cLIA) to the relevant HPV type(s) at Day 1 (seronegative to both HPV 6 and 11 for analysis of HPV 6 and 11 HPV11-related endpoints), received all 3 doses of 9vHPV vaccine with the correct dose of the clinical material within 1 year, and had no other protocol violation that could interfere with evaluation of vaccine effectiveness.
