What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are tracking HPV-16 and HPV-18 neutralizing antibodies in females who received a bivalent HPV vaccine in an earlier study. Participants were 9 to 26 years old when first vaccinated and received either two or three doses. No vaccine is given in this extension. Blood samples are collected at months 84, 108, and 132 after the first dose to measure antibody levels and see how many women remain above the threshold for protection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
bivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (types 16 and 18)
What this could lead to
If antibody levels stay high for years, this could support fewer booster doses and simpler HPV vaccination schedules. It may also reassure people that two doses work as well as three for younger girls.
What could go wrong
This study only measures antibodies in blood, not whether vaccinated people actually avoid HPV infection or cervical cancer. Antibody levels can drop over time, and a low level does not always mean lost protection. The results may not apply to males or to other HPV vaccines.
