Abstract

Background. We previously reported the noninferiority 1 month after the last dose of 2-dose human papillomavirus 16/18 AS04-adjuvanted (AS04-HPV-16/18) vaccine schedules at months 0 and 6 (2D-M0, 6) and months 0 and 12 (2D-M0, 12) in girls aged 9-14 years compared with a 3-dose schedule at months 0, 1, and 6 (3D-M0, 1, 6) in women aged 15-25 years. Here, we report the results at study end (month 36 [M36]). Methods. Girls were randomized 1: 1 and received 2 vaccine doses either 6 months (2D-M0, 6) or 12 months apart (2D-M0, 12); women received 3 doses at months 0, 1, and 6 (3D-M0, 1, 6). Endpoints included noninferiority of HPV-16/18 antibodies for 2D- M0, 6 versus 3D-M0, 1, 6; 2D-M0, 12 versus 3D-M0, 1, 6; and 2D-M0, 12 versus 2D-M0, 6; and assessment of neutralizing antibodies, T cells, B cells, and safety. Results. At M36, the 2D-M0, 6 and 2D-M0, 12 schedules remained noninferior to the 3D-M0, 1, 6 schedule in terms of seroconversion rates and 3D/2D geometric mean titers for anti-HPV-16 and anti-HPV-18. All schedules elicited sustained immune responses up to M36. Conclusions. Both 2-dose schedules in young girls remained noninferior to the 3-dose schedule in women up to study conclusion at M36. The AS04-HPV-16/18 vaccine administered as a 2-dose schedule was immunogenic and well tolerated in young girls.
