Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

To evaluate the immunogenicity of 9vHPV vaccine in immunocompromised children and adolescents. Seroconversion from baseline to month 7 following the three doses schedule recommended for children and adolescents (over 9 years of age) will be evaluated among vertically HIV-infected children and adolescents, SOT/HSCT recipients and post-chemotherapy patients (PCT) and compared to healthy controls

Secondary objectives 2

  1. To identify markers of immune response (including age, CD4/CD8 ratio, TTV viral load), potential predictors to 9vHPV vaccine-immunogenicity.
  2. To generate a cohort of immunized immunosuppressed children and adolescents, candidates for future follow-up (extension phase) addressing duration of vaccine protection in this unique population.

1 Phase 4, unicenter, open label study
This is an open label, non-randomized study, addressing the efficacy of 9vHPV vaccine in immunocompromised children and adolescents above 9 years of age. All participants will be immunized according to the guidelines. The control group will be used as a reference for interpretation of antibody titers. Consecutive long-term follow up for up to 5 years will be offered, to address the duration of protection (extension phase).
2 None Immunosuppressed Group. Cohort 1: Immunosuppressed Group: N=90 Immunosuppressed patients, consisting of HIV-infected children and adolescents, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients and post-chemotherapy patients (PCT) under follow up at Hospital La Paz in Madrid Spain.
Control Group. Cohort 2: Control Group: N=30 Healthy controls aged 9-14.
