About this trial

The study aims to evaluate whether organised, concomitant HPV vaccination and HPV screening offered to all resident women aged 22-27 will result in a more rapid elimination of HPV infection in Sweden. This objective will be examined at the population level.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Eligible women will include resident women within the age range of 22-26, who have not opted out of the screening program and who consent to participate in the study.

Disqualifiers

Known history of severe allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to any of the components of the HPV vaccine.For GARDASIL 9: Amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate sulphate adjuvant, Sodium chloride, L-histidine, Polysorbate 80 or Sodium borate

Known history of immune-related disorders

Current acute severe febrile illness, except for minor infections such as a cold, mild upper respiratory infection or low-grade fever.

Administration of immunoglobulin or blood-derived products within 6 months prior to scheduled HPV vaccine first dose

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Prevalence of HPV

Overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV will be obtained from the routine HPV screening programs in the regions that offer HPV screening to this age group.

Time frame
Measured at recruitment.
2

Prevalence of HPV

Overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV will be obtained from the routine HPV screening programs in the regions that offer HPV screening to this age group.

Time frame
Measured 3 years after recruitment, at the second cervical screening attendance.
3

Prevalence of HPV

Overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV will be obtained from the routine HPV screening programs in the regions that offer HPV screening to this age group.

Time frame
Measure 6 years after recruitment, at the third cervical screening attendance.

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of women with histopathologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2, 3, or cervical cancer (CIN2+)

CIN2+ measured through registry linkages, by HPV type in the lesion.

Time frame
Measured at recruitment, and subsequently at 3 year intervals.
2

Consumption of resources

Number of screening and treatment visits.

Time frame
Measured at recruitment, and subsequently at 3 year intervals.
3

Number of women with obstetrical complications

Obstetrical complications such as preterm births measured through registry linkages.

Time frame
Measured at recruitment, and subsequently at 3 year intervals.
4

Number of women with cervical specimens found to be benign

Treatments for cervical abnormalities, measured as excised cervical specimens, found to be benign. Measured through registry linkages.

Time frame
Measured at recruitment, and subsequently at 3 year intervals.
