Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Immune Response and Safety of GSK Biologicals' HPV-16/18 L1 VLP AS04 Vaccine/Cervarix TM Vaccine in Healthy Females Aged 15-25 Years (NCT NCT00485732)

NCT ID: NCT00485732

Last Updated: 2018-07-20

Results Overview

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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One month post Dose 3 (Month 7)

Population: Analysis was performed on initially seronegative subjects from the According-to-Protocol (ATP) cohort for immunogenicity.

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.
