NCT ID NCT03903562

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed Phase 3 study tested a 9-valent HPV vaccine in nearly 2,000 healthy Chinese females aged 9 to 45. The goal was to see if the vaccine triggers a strong immune response and is safe. Participants received three doses, and researchers measured antibody levels over five years, especially in younger participants. The results could support broader use of this vaccine in China to help prevent HPV infections and related cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that the 9-valent HPV vaccine is safe and produces a strong immune response in Chinese females aged 9-45, supporting its use to prevent HPV infections and related cancers.

What could go wrong

This is a completed Phase 3 trial, so results are already in. However, the study only measured immune response, not actual prevention of infection or cancer. Long-term effectiveness and real-world impact still need further study.
