Immunogenicity Objectives: 1) To demonstrate that a first dose of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine administered concomitantly with REPEVAX™ induces non-inferior anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) in preadolescent and adolescent boys and girls 11 to 15 years of age compared to the administration of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine separately. 2) To demonstrate that REPEVAX™ administered concomitantly with a first dose of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses to diphtheria, tetanus, poliovirus types 1,2,and 3, and pertussis in preadolescent and boys and girls 11 to 15 years of age compared to the administration of REPEVAX™ separately. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To demonstrate that a first dose of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine administered concomitantly with REPEVAX™ induces non-inferior immune responses with respect to seroconversion percentages to HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 |

Individuals allergic to aluminum, yeast, or BENZONASE™ (nuclease, Nycomed [used to remove residual nucleic acids from this and other vaccines]). Subject experienced an allergy to a previous dose of tetanus, diphtheria, poliovirus (inactivated and/or oral poliovirus) or a component pertussis combination (acellular and whole cell) vaccine. 2. Subject has had a severe reaction affecting the brain (e.g. evolving encephalopathy) within 7 days after a previous dose of a pertussis-containing vaccine. 3.

Subject ever had Guillain-Barré syndrome (temporary loss of movement and feeling in all or part of the body) or brachial neuritis (loss of movement, pain and numbness of the arm and the shoulder) following a previous dose of a tetanus containing vaccine. 5. Subject has a condition that is a contraindication to vaccination as indicated in the most up to date package inserts of REPEVAX™. 6. Subject has a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the mouth and throat, difficulty breathing, hypotension, or shock) that required medical intervention. 7. Subject has hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, is receiving anticoagulation therapy and/or has any coagulation disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injections. 8. Subject is concurrently enrolled in clinical studies of investigational agents. 9. (Female subjects only) - Subject is pregnant (as determined by a serum pregnancy test or urine pregnancy test that is sensitive to 25 mIU/mL β-hCG). 10. Subject is currently immunocompromised or has been diagnosed as having a congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, HIV infection, lymphoma, leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), inflammatory bowel disease, or other autoimmune condition. 11. Subject has had a splenectomy. 12. Subject is receiving or has received in the year prior to enrollment the following immunosuppressive therapies: radiation therapy, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, any chemotherapy, cyclosporin, leflunomide (Arava™), TNF-α antagonists, monoclonal antibody therapies (including rituximab [Rituxan™]), intravenous gamma globulin (IVIG), antilymphocyte sera, or other therapy known to interfere with the immune response. With regard to systemic corticosteroids, a subject will be excluded if he/she is currently receiving steroid therapy, has recently (defined as within 2 weeks of enrollment) received such therapy, or has received 2 or more courses of high dose corticosteroids (orally or parenterally) lasting at least 1 week in duration in the year prior to enrollment. Subjects using inhaled, nasal, topical, or ocular steroids are considered eligible for the study. 13. Subject has received any immune globulin product (including RhoGAM™ [Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics]) or blood-derived product within the 3 months prior to the Day 1 vaccination, or plans to receive any such product during the study. 14. Subject has received a marketed HPV vaccine, or has participated in an HPV vaccine clinical trial and has received either active agent or placebo. 15. Subject has received a tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, or poliovirus (inactivated and/or oral poliovirus) vaccination administered within the last 5 years. 16. Subject has a history of a positive test for HPV. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Immunogenicity: The primary immunogenicity endpoints for evaluating antibody response to 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine are geometric mean titers (GMTs) to HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 at Week 4 Postdose 3. The primary immunogenicity endpoints for evaluating antibody response to the diphtheria and tetanus components of REPEVAX™ are the proportions of subjects who achieve antibody titers of at least 0.1 IU/mL one month postvaccination of REPEVAX™, where this is assessed by the Micrometabolic Inhibition Test for diphtheria and by EIA for tetanus. The primary immunogenicity endpoints for pertussis are the GMTs to anti-PT, anti-FHA, anti-FIM and anti-PRN one month postvaccination of REPEVAX™. The primary immunogenicity endpoints for evaluating antibody response to the polio component of REPEVAX™ are the proportions of subjects who achieve detectable serum neutralizing antibodies at a ≥1:8 dilution one month postvaccination of REPEVAX™. Safety: Safety assessment will focus on the injection site adverse experiences for 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine and REPEVAX™ (Day 1 to 5 post vaccination), elevated temperatures (Day 1 to Day 5 post vaccination), and systemic adverse experiences (Day 1 to Day 15 post vaccination) at Day 1, and Month 1 visits as reported on the Vaccination Report Card. To provide a common period of follow-up in both groups, all subjects will complete the VRC after the Month 1 visit, even though the concomitant group will not have been vaccinated at that visit. In addition, serious adverse experiences will be collected for the duration of the study. Injection site adverse experiences and temperatures are further collected Day 1 to Day 5 post Month 2 and Month 6 vaccinations, and systemic adverse experiences are collected Day 1 to Day 15 post Month 2 and Month 6 vaccinations. |
