PG - 2448-2455 LID - S2095-9273(23)00636-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.scib.2023.09.020 [doi] AB - The Escherichia coli-produced human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 bivalent vaccine (Cecolin) has received prequalification by the World Health Organization based on its high efficacy and good safety profile. We aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the second-generation nonavalent HPV 6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58 vaccine (Cecolin 9) through the randomized, blinded phase 2 clinical trial. Eligible healthy women aged 18-45 years were randomly (1:1) allocated to receive three doses of 1.0 mL (270 microg) of Cecolin 9 or placebo with a 0-1-6-month schedule. The primary endpoint was the seroconversion rate and geometric mean titer of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) one month after the full vaccination course (month 7). The secondary endpoint was the safety profile including solicited adverse reactions occurring within 7 d, adverse events (AEs) occurring within 30 d after each dose, and serious adverse events (SAEs) occurring during the 7-month follow-up period. In total, 627 volunteers were enrolled and randomly assigned to Cecolin 9 (n = 313) or placebo (n = 314) group in Jiangsu Province, China. Almost all participants in the per-protocol set for immunogenicity (PPS-I) seroconverted for nAbs against all the nine HPV types at month 7, while two failed to seroconvert for HPV 11 and one did not seroconvert for HPV 52. The incidence rates of total AEs in the Cecolin 9 and placebo groups were 80.8% and 72.9%, respectively, with the majority of them being mild and recovering shortly. None of the SAEs were considered related to vaccination. In conclusion, the E. coli-produced 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine candidate was well tolerated and immunogenic, which warrants further efficacy studies in larger populations.
