NCT ID NCT07706673

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study follows women who previously received either one or two doses of the Gardasil9 HPV vaccine to see how long protection against HPV infection lasts. Researchers will check for persistent infections with HPV types linked to cancer. The goal is to understand if fewer doses still provide strong, long-term immunity.

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

Active substance
HPV vaccine (Gardasil9)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that one or two doses of the HPV vaccine provide long-lasting protection, potentially simplifying vaccination schedules and increasing global access.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up, not a new treatment test. Protection may wane over time, and results may not apply to all populations.
