About this study
Official title: A Phase III, Open-Label, Clinical Trial to Study the Safety and Immunogenicity of the Quadrivalent HPV (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) L1 VLP Particle (VLP) Vaccine in 9- to 15-Year-Old Japanese Boys
This is a study of V501 [quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) (Type 6, 11, 16 and 18) L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine] in healthy Japanese boys. This study will consist of two periods. Period I of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and tolerability of V501 up to Month 7. Period II of the study is to evaluate the long-term immunogenicity and safety from Month 7 to Month 30. Two analyses are planned. The first analysis will be conducted when all subjects have completed their Month 7 visit or have been discontinued before that time. The second analysis will be conducted at the end of study. The primary hypothesis tested in this study is that seroconversion rates for the vaccine HPV types will be >90% at 4 weeks postdose 3.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18
Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a competitive luminex immunoassay 4 weeks after 3rd vaccination (Month 7). Antibody titers were expressed as milli Merck units/mL (mMU/mL). Seroconversion was defined as an anti-HPV 6 titer ≥20 mMU/mL, an anti-HPV 11 titer ≥16 mMU/mL, an anti-HPV 16 titer of ≥20 mMU/mL and an anti-HPV 18 titer of ≥24 mMU/mL.
Measured: Four weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)
Percentage of Participants With Elevated Oral Temperature (>=37.5° C)
The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the participant's oral temperature in the evening after each study vaccination and daily for 4 days after each study vaccination. Elevated temperature was defined as ≥99.5°F (≥37.5ºC). The percentage of participants that had an elevated temperature was summarized.
Measured: Up to Day 5 after any vaccination
Percentage of Participants With an Injection-site Adverse Event
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study drug. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the study drug or protocol-specified procedure is also an AE. The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the presence of any vaccination report card (VRC)-prompted injection-site AEs that occurred in the 5 days after any vaccination. The percentage of participants with an injection-site AE prompted on the VRC (erythema, pain, and swelling) was summarized.
Measured: Up to Day 5 after any vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a Systemic Adverse Event
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study drug. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the study drug or protocol-specified procedure is also an AE. The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the presence of any VRC-prompted systemic AEs that occurred in the 5 days after any vaccination. The percentage of participants with a systemic AE was summarized.
Measured: Up to Day 15 after any vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event
An 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 sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is another important medical event. The percentage of participants that experienced 1 or more SAEs was summarized.
Measured: Up to Day 15 after any vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Event
An 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 sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is another important medical event. The percentage of participants that experienced 1 or more SAEs that were considered at least possibly related to the study vaccine was summarized.
Measured: Up to 30 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
Geometric Mean Titers for Serum Anti-HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 Participants Aged 9 to 15 Years Versus Participants Aged 16 to 26 Years
Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a competitive luminex immunoassay. Antibody titers were expressed mMU/mL. GMTs obtained for each anti-HPV from this study were compared to each of the ant-HPV GMTs obtained in study V501-122 (NCT NCT01862874) in which Japanese males 16 to 26 years received V501 in the same 3 dose regimen, to test a hypothesis that would demonstrate non-inferiority.
Measured: Four weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)
Geometric Mean Titers for Serum Anti-HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18: Persistence at 18 Months
Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a competitive luminex immunoassay. Antibody titers were expressed as mMU/mL.
Measured: 12 months postdose 3 (18 months)
Geometric Mean Titers for Serum Anti-HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18: Persistence at 30 Months
Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a competitive luminex immunoassay. Antibody titers were expressed as mMU/mL.
Measured: 24 months postdose 3 (30 months)
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18: Persistence at 18 Months
Serum antibodies to HPV types were measured with a competitive luminex immunoassay. The serostatus cutoffs (mMU/mL) for HPV types were as follows: HPV Type 6: ≥20; HPV Type 11: ≥16; HPV Type 16: ≥20; HPV Type 18: ≥24
Measured: 12 months postdose 3 (18 months)

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18
Time frame: Four weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)
Antibodies to HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a competitive luminex immunoassay 4 weeks after 3rd vaccination (Month 7). Antibody titers were expressed as milli Merck units/mL (mMU/mL). Seroconversion was defined as an anti-HPV 6 titer ≥20 mMU/mL, an anti-HPV 11 titer ≥16 mMU/mL, an anti-HPV 16 titer of ≥20 mMU/mL and an anti-HPV 18 titer of ≥24 mMU/mL.
Percentage of Participants With Elevated Oral Temperature (>=37.5° C)
Time frame: Up to Day 5 after any vaccination
The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the participant's oral temperature in the evening after each study vaccination and daily for 4 days after each study vaccination. Elevated temperature was defined as ≥99.5°F (≥37.5ºC). The percentage of participants that had an elevated temperature was summarized.
Percentage of Participants With an Injection-site Adverse Event
Time frame: Up to Day 5 after any vaccination
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study drug. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the study drug or protocol-specified procedure is also an AE. The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the presence of any vaccination report card (VRC)-prompted injection-site AEs that occurred in the 5 days after any vaccination. The percentage of participants with an injection-site AE prompted on the VRC (erythema, pain, and swelling) was summarized.
Percentage of Participants With a Systemic Adverse Event
Time frame: Up to Day 15 after any vaccination
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study drug. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or a protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the study drug or protocol-specified procedure is also an AE. The parent/guardian of the participant was to record the presence of any VRC-prompted systemic AEs that occurred in the 5 days after any vaccination. The percentage of participants with a systemic AE was summarized.
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event
Time frame: Up to Day 15 after any vaccination
An 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 sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is another important medical event. The percentage of participants that experienced 1 or more SAEs was summarized.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing V501 in people with Anogenital Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Condyloma Acuminata, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 1 site in Japan.
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 5 inclusion and 10 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 25 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Sep 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for HPV Types 6, 11, 16, and 18 (time frame: Four weeks postdose 3 (Month 7)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02576054, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 25 Nov 2019.
