State:

Zip Code: 30084
Conditions: Human Papillomavirus
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the body's response to a human papillomavirus (HPV) (sexually transmitted disease), vaccine and booster shot. The study will also determine factors related to adolescents not following vaccination schedules. The HPV vaccine requires 3 doses (shots). Girls sometimes receive the 3 shots at the recommended time and sometimes girls receive the shots at non-recommended times. This study will evaluate if getting the shots at non-recommended times affects the level of protection provided by the vaccine. Participants will include about 1400 girls 9-17 years old receiving a third dose of HPV vaccine from their primary care clinician. The parent/legal guardian of each subject will answer a questionnaire related to the vaccine schedule. Study procedures include: medical history, questionnaires and blood draws. Participants will be involved in the study for about 6 months from time of enrollment.
Study summary: The immune response to the quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in the non-clinical trial settings is unknown. In addition, the immune response following administration of vaccine at substantially prolonged intervals is unknown. Early indications suggest that many girls will be receiving the vaccine at prolonged intervals and that this timing may affect immunogenicity. The lack of knowledge about the immunogenicity of prolonged intervals between vaccine doses precludes evidence based recommendations for patients who are substantially late for their second or third dose. Some clinicians currently restart the series while others give the doses at the incorrect interval (unpublished observation) without the ability to counsel their patients as to their expected level of immune response or protection. Examining the immune response prior to the third dose and at one and six months after the third dose will allow a better understanding of the immunogenicity of this vaccine and immune response to booster doses. Furthermore, determining factors related to non-adherence in the adolescent age group is important and timely. As an increasing number of vaccines are being recommended to the adolescent age group, elucidating factors involved with non-adherence to the recommended dosing schedule is now critical. This information can guide interventions that aim to increase adolescent adherence to the recommended schedules. Eligible girls 9 - 17 years old receiving the quadrivalent HPV vaccine from their primary care provider will be enrolled into this study on the day of, but prior to, receiving their third HPV vaccine dose. Blood for immunogenicity testing will be obtained up to three times throughout the study: one month and six months after the third dose for all subjects and just prior to the third dose for subjects on time for their third dose (regardless of the time interval between the first and second dose). The primary analysis will be based on comparing the Geometric Mean Titer (GMTs) and seroresponse rate of subjects receiving the vaccine doses at substantially prolonged intervals to GMTs and seroresponse rate of subjects receiving the second and third dose on time. In addition, on Study Day 0, patient and parent related factors known to impact health care utilization will be measured using a questionnaire given to parents/legal guardians and 14 to 17 year old subjects. Analysis based on a health care utilization model will be used to determine factors associated with non-adherence to the vaccine schedule. Initially, all subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be enrolled regardless of timing of the second and third vaccine doses. When an arm accrues the assigned number of subjects completing study visit 2 (one month post dose 3), enrollment into that arm will be closed. Enrollment for the entire study will remain open until the control arm and experimental arms have each accrued 211 subjects successfully completing visit 2. When two experimental arms near final accrual goals, assessment of the potential for the third arm to reach 211 subjects will be assessed to ensure timely accrual will occur. The primary objective is to compare the GMT one month after completing the three dose vaccination series in 9 to 17 year old subjects who received the second and/or third dose at substantially prolonged intervals to subjects who receive both the second and third dose on time after adjusting for age.
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: Girls will be eligible if they are: - 9 to 17 years of age (defined as between 9 years 0 days and younger than 18 years of age); - Receiving the third human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as part of routine health care; - Able and willing to complete all study visits and evaluations; - Able and willing to participate in the study by providing written informed assent/consent (as applicable); - Parent or legal guardian provides permission (as applicable). Parent/legal guardian: Parent or legal guardian providing permission for their daughter to participate in the study will be eligible to participate in the parental questionnaire if they are able to provide informed consent for themselves. Exclusion Criteria: Girls meeting any of the following exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from study participation. - Unable to comply with the study protocol. - Receipt of three or more doses of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. - Receipt of blood and or blood products (including immunoglobulin) in the past 3 months or anticipated receipt during the study period. - History of any physical, mental, or developmental disorder that study personnel believe may hinder a participant's ability to comply with the study requirements. - History of malignancy or confirmed or suspected immunodeficient condition, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection. - Receipt of or history of receipt of any medications or treatments that affect the immune system, such as immune globulin, interferon, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs or other drugs known to be frequently associated with significant major organ toxicity since six months prior to the first HPV vaccine dose. - Receipt of long-term (greater than or equal to 2 weeks) potentially immunosuppressive corticosteroid use within six months or anticipated receipt during the study period. Specifically, potentially immunosuppressive corticosteroids or any parenteral corticosteroid, high dose (>800 mcg/day) beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent medication; nasal and topical steroids are allowed. - Current or former participation in HPV vaccine related research. - Receipt of an investigational or alternate HPV vaccine. - Receipt of a live virus vaccine (varicella virus vaccine, any measles, mumps, or rubella virus vaccine, or yellow fever vaccine but not including live attenuated influenza virus vaccine) within 4 weeks before or after the 3rd dose of HPV vaccine or anticipated receipt of a live virus vaccine within 4 weeks after the 3rd dose of HPV vaccine. However, subjects may receive any vaccine on the same day as the third dose of HPV. Parent/legal guardian exclusion criteria: - Parents/legal guardians meeting any of the following exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from filling out the study questionnaire examining factors associated with adherence: - History of any physical, mental or developmental disorder that study personnel believe may hinder a participant's ability to comply with study requirements.
