About this trial

This is a randomized, open-label trial, to assess whether a single dose of HPV nonavalent vaccine, administered to HIV uninfected, unvaccinated women with high risk HPV16/18/31/33/45/52 or 58 can decrease the infectivity of shed HPV viruses.

Our hypothesis is that vaccination will have little or no impact on HPV sample positivity by DNA PCR since the viral particles will continue to be produced and released, but that particles will be neutralized by vaccine-induced antibodies, thereby reducing their infective capacity. Cervical samples will be collected at randomisation and at 6 months, to compare infectivity of shed HPV viruses.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nonavalent HPV vaccine (9vHPV)

    Biological/Vaccine

    Nonavalent HPV vaccine (9vHPV/ Gardasil-9™). Sterile suspension, 0.5 ml dose, intramuscular, prepared from the highly purified viruslike particles (VLPs) of the major capsid L1 protein from 9 HPV types: 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58. 9vHPV is currently indicated in the EU in individuals from 9 years of age for the prevention of diseases caused by vaccine's 9 HPV types: genital warts (HPV6 and 11) and premalignant lesions and cancers affecting the cervix, vulva, vagina and anus (HPV16, 18, 31, 22, 45, 52 and 58). It was authorized for marketing in the EU on June 9th, 201
