[PMID: 37516572 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.07.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2009, Norway initiated routine quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccination for girls at 12-13 years of age to protect against virus types causing cervical cancer, HPV16/18, and HPV6/11 which cause anogenital warts (AGW). We wanted to investigate qHPV vaccine effectiveness (VE) against AGW in females before and after first AGW episode and to assess the impact of female vaccination in males. MATERIALS AND METHODS QHPV vaccination and AGW episodes were collected for the time period 2006-2016 for birth cohorts 1975-2003. Cox models were applied to age at first, as well as at second AGW episode. Finally, we estimated the impact of the female vaccination program on unvaccinated males. RESULTS The VE against the first episode of AGW was strongly dependent on vaccination age, with hazard ratios (HRs) compared to unvaccinated individuals of 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.3, and 2.7, for age groups of ⩽13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-19, 20-24, 25-29, and 30+ years at first vaccination, respectively. Among women who had suffered a first episode of AGW, subsequent qHPV vaccination did not protect against a second episode, with HRs of 0.8, 1.0, and 1.4, for age groups of ⩽17, 18-24, and 25+ years at first vaccination. A gradually decreasing AGW risk was seen in unvaccinated male cohorts neighboring the first routinely vaccinated female 1997 cohort. CONCLUSIONS When administered before 14 years of age, qHPV vaccination reduced the probability of AGW about fivefold. The effect decreased sharply with vaccination age, and was not significant among women vaccinated after age 20 years. QHPV administered after the first AGW episode did not protect against a second AGW episode. Herd effects were indicated in unvaccinated males, as we observed a gradual decrease in AGW rates from the 1993 male birth cohort and onwards.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines work by preventing infections prior to natural exposure. Thus, it is likely more effective at younger ages, and it is important to understand how effectiveness might be diminished when administered at older ages. We conducted a systematic review of HPV vaccine effectiveness studies published between 2007 and 2022 that included an analysis of effectiveness against vaccine-type HPV infections, anogenital warts, cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer by age at vaccine initiation or completion. Searching multiple databases, 21 studies were included and results were summarized descriptively. Seventeen studies found the highest vaccine effectiveness in the youngest age group. Vaccine effectiveness estimates for younger adolescents ages 9-14 years ranged from approximately 74% to 93% and from 12% to 90% for adolescents ages 15-18 years. These results demonstrate that the HPV vaccine is most effective against HPV-related disease outcomes when given at younger ages, emphasizing the importance of on-time vaccination.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vaccine effectiveness and impact studies are typically observational, generating evidence after vaccine launch in a real-world setting. For human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination studies, the variety of data sources and methods used is pronounced. Careful selection of study design, data capture and analytical methods can mitigate potential bias in such studies. AREAS COVERED We systematically reviewed the different study designs, methods, and data sources in published evidence (1/2007-3/2020), which assessed the quadrivalent HPV vaccine effectiveness and impact on cervical/cervicovaginal, anal, and oral HPV infections, anogenital warts, lesions in anus, cervix, oropharynx, penis, vagina or vulva, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. EXPERT OPINION The rapid growth in access to real-world data allows global monitoring of effects of different public health interventions, including HPV vaccination programs. But the use of data which are not collected or organized to support research also underscore a need to develop robust methodology that provides insight of vaccine effects and consequences of different health policy decisions. To achieve the WHO elimination goal, we foresee a growing need to evaluate HPV vaccination programs globally. A critical appraisal summary of methodology used will provide timely guidance to researchers who want to initiate research activities in various settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A randomised trial designed to compare three and two doses of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in adolescent girls in India was converted to a cohort study after suspension of HPV vaccination in trials by the Indian Government. In this Article, the revised aim of the cohort study was to compare vaccine efficacy of single dose to that of three and two doses in protecting against persistent HPV 16 and 18 infection at 10 years post vaccination. METHODS In the randomised trial, unmarried girls aged 10-18 years were recruited from nine centres across India and randomly assigned to either two doses or three doses of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil [Merck Sharp & Dohme, Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA]; 0·5 mL administered intramuscularly). After suspension of recruitment and vaccination, the study became a longitudinal, prospective cohort study by default, and participants were allocated to four cohorts on the basis of the number vaccine doses received per protocol: the two-dose cohort (received vaccine on days 1 and 180 or later), three-dose cohort (days 1, 60, and 180 or later), two-dose default cohort (days 1 and 60 or later), and the single-dose default cohort. Participants were followed up yearly. Cervical specimens were collected from participants 18 months after marriage or 6 months after first childbirth, whichever was earlier, to assess incident and persistent HPV infections. Married participants were screened for cervical cancer as they reached 25 years of age. Unvaccinated women age-matched to the married vaccinated participants were recruited to serve as controls. Vaccine efficacy against persistent HPV 16 and 18 infections (the primary endpoint) was analysed for single-dose recipients and compared with that in two-dose and three-dose recipients after adjusting for imbalance in the distribution of potential confounders between the unvaccinated and vaccinated cohorts. This trial is registered with ISRCTN, ISRCTN98283094, and ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00923702. FINDINGS Vaccinated participants were recruited between Sept 1, 2009, and April 8, 2010 (date of vaccination suspension), and followed up over a median duration of 9·0 years (IQR 8·2-9·6). 4348 participants had three doses, 4980 had two doses (0 and 6 months), and 4949 had a single dose. Vaccine efficacy against persistent HPV 16 and 18 infection among participants evaluable for the endpoint was 95·4% (95% CI 85·0-99·9) in the single-dose default cohort (2135 women assessed), 93·1% (77·3-99·8) in the two-dose cohort (1452 women assessed), and 93·3% (77·5-99·7) in three-dose recipients (1460 women assessed). INTERPRETATION A single dose of HPV vaccine provides similar protection against persistent infection from HPV 16 and 18, the genotypes responsible for nearly 70% of cervical cancers, to that provided by two or three doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been recommended for young adult men who have sex with men (MSM) since 2011. METHODS The Vaccine Impact in Men study surveyed MSM and transgender women aged 18-26 years in 3 US cities during 2016-2018. Self-collected anal swab and oral rinse specimens were assessed for 37 types of HPV. We compared HPV prevalence among vaccinated and unvaccinated participants and determined adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Among 1767 participants, 704 (39.8%) self-reported receiving HPV vaccine. Median age at vaccination (18.7 years) was older than age at first sex (15.7 years). Quadrivalent vaccine-type HPV was detected in anal or oral specimens from 475 (26.9%) participants. Vaccine-type HPV prevalence was lower among vaccinated (22.9%) compared with unvaccinated (31.6%) participants; aPR for those who initiated vaccination at age ≤18 years was 0.41 (CI, 0.24-0.57) and at age >18 years was 0.82 (CI, 0.67-0.98). Vaccine effectiveness of at least 1 HPV vaccine dose at age ≤18 years or >18 years was 59% and 18%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest real-world effectiveness of HPV vaccination among young adult MSM. This effect was stronger with younger age at vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that 1-dose human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination may protect significantly against HPV-related disease. We provide nationwide, real-world data on the risk of genital warts (GWs) after <3 vaccine doses. METHODS All Danish women born in 1985-2003 were identified, and individual-level vaccination data were retrieved. The cohort was followed up for first occurrence of GWs until 31 December 2016. Using Poisson regression, we calculated incidence rates (IRs) of GWs per 100 000 person-years and IR ratios (IRRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for GWs, according to vaccination status, age at first dose, and calendar time. RESULTS The cohort comprised 1 076 945 girls and women, of whom 485 408 were vaccinated. For girls initiating vaccination at age 12-14 years and 15-16 years, 1-dose vaccine effectiveness (VE) was 71% (IRR = 0.29; 95% CI, .22-.38) and 62% (0.38; .29-.49), respectively, compared with unvaccinated girls. In the same age groups, 2-dose VE was 78% (IRR, 0.22; 95% CI, .18-.26) and 68% (0.32; .26-.38), respectively. After 2009, the IRRs for 3 versus 1 dose and 2 versus 1 dose increased towards unity over calendar time, being 0.69 (95% CI, .57-.84) and 0.86 (.68-1.08) in 2016, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this study, 1 or 2 doses of quadrivalent HPV vaccine was associated with substantial protection against GWs in girls vaccinated at age ≤16 years. The 1-dose VE approached that of 3 or 2 doses over calendar time, probably reflecting the impact of herd protection.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection worldwide and ano-genital warts (AGWs) are highly infectious. This virus is transmitted through sexual, anal, or oral contact as well as skin-to-skin contacts. Treatment for this condition has significant morbidity and it can be frustrating in certain cases. The HPV vaccination has been demonstrated as a promising strategy of secondary prevention in HPV-related diseases such as head and neck cancers, cervical diseases, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Regarding AGWs, it is unclear whether vaccination can provide analogous clinical benefit. The aim of this work is to systematically review the literature regarding HPV vaccination for secondary disease prevention after treatment of AGWs. From October to December 2018, a systematic search for clinical trials was conducted in five databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and clinicaltrials.gov using a combination of the following descriptors: 'gardasil' OR 'cervarix' OR 'nine-valent' OR '9-valent' OR 'vaccine' AND 'recurrence' OR 'relapse' AND 'hpv' OR 'papillomavirus' AND 'warts' OR 'condyloma.' Data were synthetized and entered in the Review Manager software (RevMan 5.3.5) to perform the meta-analysis. The search yielded 824 potentially relevant studies. Two studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria involving 656 participants. The meta-analysis estimated the rate of recurrence of AGWs was similar between the vaccine group and the control group. The overall effect estimate was 1.02 (0.75-1.38). This is the first meta-analysis exploring the effect of HPV vaccine in preventing the relapse of AGWs. These results suggest that HPV vaccination does not provide secondary benefit in patients with previous AGWs. However, these results cannot be generalized due to the scarce number of RCTs currently available in the literature. The outcomes from future randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are warranted to further clarify the precise effect of the vaccine.

Abstract
Introduction: The randomized control trials (RCTs) that resulted in licensure of HPV VLP vaccines used a traditional prime, prime-boost schedule for a subunit protein vaccine. These vaccines delivered predominantly to 9-14-year-old females with this schedule have been shown to be highly effective against vaccine HPV-type disease (CIN and genital warts) and infection. A two-dose prime-boost schedule is immunologically non-inferior to 3 doses in 9-14-year-olds and is currently widely adopted. However, even with a reduced dosage schedule, these vaccines are expensive to buy and expensive and logistically complex to deliver especially in low resource countries that bear the major burden of cervical cancer the most prevalent of HPV caused cancers.Areas covered: Observational studies and post hoc analysis of RCTs show that 1 dose, although immunologically inferior to 2 and 3 doses, is as effective at preventing persistent infection with vaccine HPV types at least for 7-10 years. To address the issue of alternative dosage schedules that include 1 dose either as a single dose or extended 1 + 1 with the second dose 3-5 years post-first dose are under investigation in RCTs.Expert opinion: Since, in the short term, vaccine supplies are constrained and will impact on the ability of countries to implement HPV vaccine programs: the challenges and opportunities of the alternative approaches in this scenario are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Highly effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are used in many national programs in 3- or 2-dose schedules. We examined HPV vaccine effectiveness against HPV prevalence by number of doses.
Methods
We collected residual liquid-based cytology samples from US women aged 20–29 years who were screened for cervical cancer. Women continuously enrolled from 2006 through the specimen collection date were analyzed. Specimens were tested using the Linear Array assay. We analyzed prevalence of quadrivalent HPV vaccine (4vHPV) types (HPV 6,11,16,18) and other HPV-type categories and determined prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 1, 2, and 3 compared with no vaccine doses.
Results
Among 4269 women, 1052 (24.6%) were unvaccinated, 2610 (61.1%) received 3 doses, 304 (7.1%) received 2 doses, and 303 (7.1%) received 1 dose. The 4vHPV-type prevalence was 7.4% among unvaccinated women compared with 1.7%, 1.0%, and 1.0% among 1-, 2-, and 3-dose recipients. Among women vaccinated at ≤18 years, adjusted PRs for 1, 2, and 3 doses were 0.06 (95% CI, 0.01–0.42), 0.05 (95% CI, 0.01–0.39), and 0.06 (95% CI, 0.04–0.12).
Conclusions
Among women who received their first dose at age ≤18, estimated HPV vaccine effectiveness was high regardless of number of doses.

Is one dose of human papillomavirus vaccine as effective as three?: A national cohort analysis. PAPILLOMAVIRUS RESEARCH 2019; 8:100177. [PMID: 31319173 PMCID: PMC6658930 DOI: 10.1016/j.pvr.2019.100177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2019] [Revised: 07/04/2019] [Accepted: 07/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
AIM Prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are highly effective at preventing pre-cancerous cervical lesions when given in a three-dose schedule. Some post-hoc trial data suggest that one dose prevents HPV infection. If one dose could prevent pre-cancerous cervical lesions, then global cervical cancer prevention would be greatly facilitated. We assessed the effectiveness of quadrivalent HPV vaccine by number of doses against cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 or 3/adenocarcinoma-in-situ (AIS)/cancer in Australia up to seven years post vaccination. METHODS We linked registry data from all 8 jurisdictional cervical screening registers, with the national HPV vaccination register, death index and cancer registers for all Australian women aged 15 or under when eligible for vaccine who screened between April 2007 (when vaccination commenced) and 31 December 2014. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusted a priori for age, socioeconomic status, and area of residence, to estimate hazard ratios of histologically confirmed CIN2/CIN3/AIS/cancer. RESULTS We included 250,648 women: 48,845 (19·5%) unvaccinated, 174,995 (69·8%) had received three doses, 18,190 (7·3%) two doses and 8,618 (3·4%) one dose. The adjusted hazard ratio was significantly lower for all dose groups compared to unvaccinated women (1 dose 0·65 (95%CI 0·52-0·81), 2 doses 0·61 (0·52-0·72) and 3 doses 0·59 (0·54-0·65).) With adjustment for age at vaccination amongst the vaccinated group, the adjusted hazard ratios for one dose and two dose recipients were comparable to three dose recipients (one dose 1.01 (95%CI 0.81-1.26), two doses 1.00 (0.85-1.17).) Multiple sensitivity analyses, including use of different dose assignment methods, produced consistent findings. Comparison with a historical cohort of age matched women showed that the result was not due to herd protection alone. CONCLUSIONS One dose had comparable effectiveness as two or three doses in preventing high-grade disease in a high coverage setting. These findings support the hypothesis that one dose vaccination may be a viable strategy when working towards the global elimination of cervical cancer.
