Dose-ranging studies of the safety and immunogenicity of human papillomavirus Type 11 and Type 16 virus-like particle candidate vaccines in young healthy women
Two candidate vaccines to prevent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) Types 11 and 16 were studied in similar double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trials. L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines were made from recombinant L1 capsid protein of HPV11 or HPV16. Participants received 10...

Summary: | Two candidate vaccines to prevent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) Types 11 and 16 were studied in similar double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trials. L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines were made from recombinant L1 capsid protein of HPV11 or HPV16. Participants received 10, 20, 50, or 100
μg of HPV11 L1 VLPs, 10, 40, or 80
μg of HPV16 L1 VLPs, or placebo at Months 0, 2, and 6. Serum geometric mean antibody levels at Month 7 were 258, 644, 647, and 1112
milli-Merck units (mMU)/ml for the 10, 20, 50, and 100
μg doses of the HPV11 L1 VLP vaccine, respectively, and 479, 808, and 732
mMU/ml for the 10, 40, and 80
μg doses of the HPV16 L1 VLP vaccine, respectively. Antibody to HPV11 and 16 was still present at Month 36 in 96.8 and 93.5% of vaccinees, respectively. Both vaccines were well tolerated and were associated with only mild to moderate injection-site reactions. |
