Group 1: Lymph Node Sampling at D-30 to D0, D14 and D30
Participants will receive 3 doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) at D0, D60, and D180. Group 1 will undergo an FNA at D-30 to D0. Participants will repeat the procedure at D14±5 and D30±5. Bone marrow sampling will be done for all groups at D730 and D1825. Gardasil-9: Participants will receive 3 doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) at D0, D60, and D180. The 9-valent HPV vaccine, or Gardasil-9, is a non-infectious recombinant vaccine prepared from the purified virus-like particles (VLPs) of the major capsid (L1) protein of HPV Types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. Gardasil-9 is supplied as a 0.5-mL single-dose vial or 0.5-mL single-dose prefilled Luer Lock syringe with tip cap. Lidocaine injections: 1-2% lidocaine injections. 1% lidocaine, an FDA approved local anesthetic, will be injected subcutaneously to numb the area of the lymph node being sampled; whereas 1-2% lidocaine will be injected into the tissue surrounding the area where the bone marrow will be removed. In adults the recommended dose is 7 mg/kg with a maximum of 500 mg.
Group 2: Lymph Node Sampling at D60, D74 and D90
Participants will receive 3 doses of 9-valent HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) at D0, D60, and D180. Participants will undergo an FNA on the same day, but prior to, the second vaccine dose (D60±5; Visit 8) or up to 5 days before. Participants will repeat the procedure at Visit 8 + 14±5 days and Visit 8 + 30±5 days. Bone marrow sampling will be done for all groups at D730 and D1825.
