E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
- To compare induction of anti-HPV-16 and -18 antibodies in the bivalent HPV vaccine group vs. the Tetravalent HPV vaccine group as measured by pseudovirion neutralization titer. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate and compare induction of cross protection against other HPV-serotypes in the bivalent HPV vaccine group vs. the Tetravalent HPV vaccine group.
- To evaluate tolerance and safety of Bivalent and Tetravalent HPV vaccines in HIV infected adults.
- To compare the induction of immunological memory against HPV-6, -11, -16 and -18 in the bivalent HPV vaccine group vs. the Tetravalent HPV vaccine group.
- To screen study participants for prevalent HPV-infection and investigate for serological evidence of previous HPV-infection
- To compare antibody responses to HPV vaccination in patients receiving HAART and patients not receiving HAART.
- To compare induction of cellular immunity against vaccine-specific HPV-types in the bivalent HPV vaccine group vs. the Tetravalent HPV vaccine group.
- To assess induction of innate immune activation after vaccination with either of the HPV-vaccines.
- To assess if HAART-treatment can predict vaccine response. |
