Title: Immunogenicity and Safety Study of GSK Biologicals' HPV Vaccine (GSK 580299) in Healthy Adult Chinese Female Subjects
Brief Summary: This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in adult female subjects aged 26-45 years. One group of subjects will receive the HPV vaccine and the other group will receive an active control (GSK Biologicals' hepatitis B vaccine). Immunogenicity data of the HPV group will be compared with those from the HPV group included in the NCT00779766 study (aged 18-25 years).
