What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Seroconvert to HPV 6.

    Vaccine-induced anti-HPV 6 seroconversion following administration of a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL® in females 9 to 23 years of age in Korea. Seroconversion for HPV 6 was defined as achieving an anti-HPV cLIA (Competitive Luminex immunoassay) level of at least 20 mMU/mL.

    Time frame: Week 4 Postdose 3

  2. Number of Participants Who Seroconvert to HPV 11.

    Vaccine-induced anti-HPV 11 seroconversion following administration of a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL® in females 9 to 23 years of age in Korea. Seroconversion for HPV 11 was defined as achieving an anti-HPV cLIA (Competitive Luminex immunoassay) level of at least 16 mMU/mL.

    Time frame: Week 4 Postdose 3

  3. Number of Participants Who Seroconvert to HPV 16.

    Vaccine-induced anti-HPV 16 seroconversion following administration of a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL® in females 9 to 23 years of age in Korea. Seroconversion for HPV 16 was defined as achieving an anti-HPV cLIA (Competitive Luminex immunoassay) level of at least 20 mMU/mL.

    Time frame: Week 4 Postdose 3

  4. Number of Participants Who Seroconvert to HPV 18.

    Vaccine-induced anti-HPV 18 seroconversion following administration of a 3-dose regimen of GARDASIL® in females 9 to 23 years of age in Korea. Seroconversion for HPV 18 was defined as achieving an anti-HPV cLIA (Competitive Luminex immunoassay) level of at least 24 mMU/mL.

    Time frame: Week 4 Postdose 3

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Experiences

    Number of participants who reported 1 or more adverse experience.

    Time frame: Overall study including 14 calendar days after the last vaccination visit.
