PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Four weeks post vaccination 3 (Month 7)

Population: The analysis set includes heterosexual male and female participants who received the 3 vaccinations, were seronegative to the appropriate HPV type at baseline, and had Month 7 immunogenicity results for the appropriate HPV type. Per-protocol non-inferiority analysis compared heterosexual males and females only.

Serum antibodies to HPV types 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. Titers are reported in milli Merck Units/mL

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 5 days after any vaccination

Population: The analysis set includes all participants who received \>=1 vaccination and had safety follow-up. Heterosexual and MSM males were combined for safety outcomes.

An adverse experience (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine is also an AE. Injection-site AEs prompted on the Vaccination Report Card (VRC) were erythema, pain, and swelling. Participants were instructed to use the Vaccination Report Card to record AEs daily after each study vaccination.

Serum antibodies to HPV types were measured with a Competitive Luminex Immunoassay. The serostatus cutoffs (milli Merck U/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥30; HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20; HPV Type 18: ≥24; HPV Type 31: ≥10; HPV Types 33, 45, 52, and 58: ≥8.
