safety evaluation of the gsk-580299 vaccine in women from the control group in the primary nct00294047 study

Conditions: Infections, Papillomavirus

Summary: this extension study is designed to assess the safety of gsk biological's human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccine gsk580299 in female subjects who took part in the primary study nct00294047 and received the control vaccine in countries for which the licensed gsk hpv vaccine is not indicated for the subject's age group (26 years and older). this study is thus conducted to enable all women who received the control placebo in the primary nct00294047 study to receive the gsk580299 vaccine.
