immunogenicity and safety of a commercially available vaccine co-administered with gsk hpv vaccine (580299)

Conditions: Infections, Papillomavirus; Papillomavirus Vaccines

Summary: infection with human papillomavirus (hpv) has been clearly established as the necessary cause of cervical cancer. the current phase 3b study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a commercially available vaccine co-administered with glaxosmithkline biologicals' hpv vaccine gsk580299 in healthy female subjects.
