Summary:

      This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and tolerability of V503 (a multivalent human
      papillomavirus [HPV] L1 virus-like particle [VLP] vaccine) in preadolescent and adolescent
      participants between 9 and 15 years old and demonstrate the consistency of the manufactured
      vaccine through assessment of 3 different final manufacturing process lots of V503.

      The primary hypotheses are as follows:

        1. The 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine when administered to preadolescent and adolescent boys
           and girls 9 to 15 years of age and young women 16 to 26 years of age is generally
           well-tolerated.

        2. 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in preadolescent and
           adolescent girls 9 to 15 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant HPV
           type compared to young women 16 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 and
           polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-negative Day 1 through Month 7 to the relevant HPV type,
           as measured by anti-HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 geometric mean titers
           (GMTs) at 4 weeks post-dose 3.

        3. The 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine induces non-inferior immune responses in preadolescent
           and adolescent boys 9 to 15 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 to the relevant
           HPV type compared to young women 16 to 26 years of age who are seronegative at Day 1 and
           PCR-negative Day 1 through Month 7 to the relevant HPV type, as measured by anti-HPV 6,
           11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 GMTs at 4 weeks post-dose 3.

        4. Three separate final manufacturing process (FMP) lots of the 9-valent HPV L1 VLP vaccine
           induce similar immune responses, as measured by anti-HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33,
           45, 52, and 58 GMTs at 4 weeks post-dose 3.
