This is a parallel-controlled study. A total of 2,750 participants will be enrolled in this study: 9-14 years (2 doses) group and 9-19 years (3 doses) group are of non-randomized, open label design; 20-26 years (3 doses) group will be randomized and blinded.~9-14 age group and group 9-19 age group will be enrolled in two stages: 20 subjects in 9-19 age group will be enrolled first. After assessing the safety data (including laboratory test data) within 7 days of 1st dose vaccination in these 20 subjects, and if the suspension criteria are not met, the remaining 620 subjects in 9-19 age group and 640 subjects in 9-14 age group will be enrolled subsequently. 20-26 age group will be enrolled directly, with no stage entry requirements. Eligible subjects will be enrolled to received vaccines accordingly. Subjects who have reached menarche will undergo urine pregnancy test prior to each dose of vaccination (on the vaccine day.)
The study is to evaluate immune response induced by 9-valent HPV study vaccine is non-inferior to those induced by GARDASIL® 9 administrated with 3-dose schedule in female participants aged 20-26 years in China, if the immune response induced with same conditions in 9-19 age group is non-inferior to 20-26 age group, and if the immune response induced by 9-valent HPV study vaccine administrated with 2-dose schedule in females aged 9-14 years is non-inferior to 3-dose schedule in females aged 20-26 years.
