Immunogenicity and Safety of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Huma Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine 580299 in Healthy Females 15 - 25 Years of Age

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been clearly established as the central cause of cervical cancer. The current phase 3b study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' HPV vaccine GSK580299 administered according to an alternative dosing schedule as compared to the standard dosing schedule in young female subjects aged 15 - 25 years. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

For subjects below the legal age of consent, written informed consent must be obtained from the subject's parents/legally acceptable representative (LAR), and written informed assent must be obtained from the subject. Healthy subjects as established by medical history and/or clinical examination before entering into the study.

Subject who had no more than 6 lifetime sexual partners prior to enrolment. Exclusion Criteria: Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period. Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose. Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol within 30 days before and 30 days after the first dose of vaccine. Planned administration/administration of routine vaccines up to 8 days before the first dose of study vaccine is allowed. Enrolment will be deferred until the patient is outside of specified window. Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device). Previous vaccination against HPV or planned administration of any HPV vaccine other than that foreseen by the study protocol during the study period. previous administration of components of the investigational vaccine Cancer or autoimmune disease under treatment. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination. History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine. Hypersensitivity to latex Acute disease at the time of enrolment. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding blood sampling. Pregnant or breastfeeding female. Female planning to become pregnant, likely to become pregnant (as determined by the investigator) or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions during the study period starting at visit one and up to two months after the last vaccine dose.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-human Papilloma Virus 16 (Anti-HPV-16) and Anti-human Papilloma Virus 18 (Anti-HPV-18) Antibodies | Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of anti-HPV-16 and/or anti- HPV-18 antibodies (i.e. antibody titer ≥ cut-off value) in the sera of subjects seronegative before vaccination. Cut-off values were 8 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units per milliliter (EL.U/mL) for anti-HPV-16 antibodies and 7 EL.U/mL for anti- HPV-18 antibodies. | One month after the third vaccine dose | 
| Titer of Anti-HPV-16 and Anti-HPV-18 Antibodies | Titer given as geometric mean titer (GMT). | One month after the third vaccine dose | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Subjects Seroconverted for Anti-HPV-16 and Anti-HPV-18 Antibodies | Seroconversion is defined as the appearance of anti-HPV-16 and/or anti- HPV-18 antibodies (i.e. antibody titer ≥ cut-off value) in the sera of subjects seronegative before vaccination. Cut-off values were 8 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units per milliliter (EL.U/mL) for anti-HPV-16 antibodies and 7 EL.U/mL for anti- HPV-18 antibodies. | One month after the second vaccine dose | 
| Titer of Anti-HPV-16 and Anti-HPV-18 Antibodies | Titer given as GMT. | One month after the second vaccine dose | 
| Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local Symptoms | Solicited local symptoms assessed include pain, redness and swelling at the injection site. | During the 7-day (Days 0-6) period following each vaccination | 
| Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited General Symptoms | Solicited general symptoms assessed include arthralgia, fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, rash, and urticaria. | During the 7-day (Days 0-6) period following each vaccination | 
| Number of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE) | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. | During the 30-day (Days 0-29) period following each vaccination | 
| Number of Subjects Reporting New Onset of Chronic Diseases (NOCDs), New Onset Autoimmune Diseases (NOADs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Medically Significant Conditions (MSCs) | Entire study period = up to Month 18 Cervarix-12 & Month 12 Cervarix-6. NOCDs assessed include eg. autoimmune disorders (NOADs), asthma, type I diabetes. MSCs assessed include AEs prompting emergency room visits and physician office visits not related to common illnesses. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is lifethreatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above. | During the entire study period (up to Month 18 or up to Month 12) | 
| Number of Subjects With Pregnancies and Their Outcomes | Entire study period = up to Month 18 Cervarix-12 & Month 12 Cervarix-6 Number of pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes. | During the entire study period (up to Month 18 or Month 12) | 
| Number of Subjects Completing the 3-dose Vaccination Schedule |  | After the third vaccine dose |
