Immunogenicity and Safety of V503 in Chinese Males 9 Through 19 Years Old (V503-053)
About the study
This study is designed to demonstrate non-inferior immunogenicity of 3 doses of the 9-Valent Human Papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine (GARDASIL™9, V503) in Chinese males 9 through 19 years of age, and 2 doses of the 9vHPV vaccine in Chinese males 9 through 14 years of age, compared to the 3 dose regimen in Chinese males 20 through 26 years of age (from Merck Protocol V503-052). The primary hypothesis is that each of the 3-dose regimen in Chinese males aged 9 through 19 years and 2-dose regimens in Chinese males aged 9 through 14 years induces non-inferior competitive Luminex immunoassay (cLIA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) at one month post last dose compared to the 3-dose regimen in Chinese adult males aged 20 through 26 years. A noninferiority margin of 0.67 in the GMT ratio (9 through 19 years of age or 9 through 14 years of age vs 20 through 26 years of age) is used for each HPV type.

- Has a history of HPV-related external genital lesions, HPV-related intra-anal lesions, or HPV-related head and neck cancer.
- Has a history of severe allergic reaction that required medical intervention.
- Has received immune globulin or blood-derived products in the past 6 months or plans to receive any before one month post last dose.
- Has a history of splenectomy, is currently immunocompromised, or has been diagnosed with immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), lymphoma, leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or other autoimmune condition.
