a

In an according-to-protocol or per-protocol susceptible analytic cohort, which is typically restricted to individuals who were HPV DNA negative and seronegative at baseline and through the vaccination phase.

b

Against a composite endpoint of penile, perianal, or perineal intraepithelial neoplasia.
