Evidence for viral clearance in females already infected with HPV
STUDY DETAILS SUMMARY
Study Vaccine Study Design Participants Summary of Key Findings Level of Evidence Quality
HPV009 (101) Cervarix Randomized trial
To determine whether vaccination increases the rate of viral clearance in women already infected with HPV
Females
18 to 25 years
=2189
No evidence of increased viral clearance at 6 or 12 months in the group who received HPV vaccine compared with the control group. Clearance rates for HPV-16/18 infections:
-at 6 months: 33.4% (82/248) in the HPV vaccine group and 31.6% (95/298) in the control group (vaccine efficacy for viral clearance, 2.5%; 95% CI,−9.8%to 13.5%).
-at 12 months: 48.8% (86/177) in the HPV vaccine group and 49.8% (110/220) in the control group (vaccine efficacy for viral clearance,−2.0%;95%confidence interval,−24.3%to 16.3%).
