PG - 558-567 LID - 10.1097/CEJ.0000000000000753 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Vaccination is proven to significantly reduce the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related complications, especially cervical cancer. This study aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the investigational bivalent HPV vaccine (16/18), named Papilloguard (Noyan Pajouhan Biopharma, Tehran, Iran), in comparison with the reference product (Cervarix, bivalent HPV vaccine (16/18) manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, Rixensart, Belgium) in a three-dose regimen. METHODS: This trial was a randomized, controlled, double-blind, phase III study of two HPV vaccines in healthy female volunteers aged 15-25. The primary endpoint was to test the noninferiority of Papilloguard (Noyan Pajouhan Biopharma) to Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) as measured by the geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios of HPV-16 and HPV-18 7 months after the first vaccination. Secondary endpoints were the proportion of local and systemic solicited and unsolicited events, and the number of females with seroconversion against HPV-16 and HPV-18 7 months after the first vaccination. RESULTS: Out of 504 screened women, 218 were enrolled. Seven months after the first vaccination, GMT ratios of HPV-16 and HPV-18 were 0.59 and 0.93, respectively. The seroconversion rates of both Papilloguard (Noyan Pajouhan Biopharma) and Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) were more than 96%. Both vaccinated groups had a generally good profile of solicited and unsolicited adverse events (AEs). The most common AE was discomfort at the injection site, which was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: The result analysis of this study supports the noninferiority of Papilloguard (Noyan Pajouhan Biopharma) to Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) in terms of safety and immunogenicity based on the GMT ratio. However, long-term comparative studies to evaluate the sustainability of GMT response and risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2-3 are needed.
