Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 15 to 25 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Female between and including 15 and 25 years of age at the time of screening (must not have reached 26th birthday)
  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to enrolment (for subjects below the legal age of consent, written informed consent must also be obtained from a parent or legal guardian of the subject)
  • Free of obvious health problems, as established by medical history and a directed physical examination
  • No more than 6 lifetime sexual partners prior to enrolment
  • Intact uterus
  • Subject must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e., either surgically sterilised or, if of childbearing potential, she must be abstinent or must be using an effective method of birth control for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative urine pregnancy test and must agree to continue such precautions for two months after completion of the vaccination series

About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomised Study of the Efficacy of an HPV-16/18 VLP Vaccine in the Prevention of HPV-16 and/or HPV-18 Cervical Infection in Healthy Adolescent and Young Adult Women in North America and Brazil.

The purpose of this phase IIB MedImmune-sponsored study was to evaluate the efficacy of the HPV-16/18 VLP vaccine in the prevention of infection with HPV-16 and/or HPV-18 in adolescent and young adult women. A vaccine that prevents, or even reduces, the incidence of the common types of high-risk HPVs, particularly HPV-16 and HPV-18, could result in significant reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer and cancer-related mortality, as well as a reduction in the incidence of surgical procedures following abnormal Pap smears.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cervarix in people with Infections, Papillomavirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cervical infection with HPV-16 and/or HPV-18 (time frame: Throughout the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00689741, which also lists 14 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2016.
