Study of an Investigational Vaccine in Pre-Adolescents and Adolescents (Gardasil)(V501-016)

December 29, 2014 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Study to Demonstrate Immunogenicity and Tolerability of Gardasil (V501) Quadrivalent HPV (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) L1 Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Vaccine in Preadolescents, and To Determine End-Expiry Specifications for the Vaccine

The primary purpose of the study is to determine if an investigational vaccine Gardasil (V501) with 4 components will provide an immune response and will be well tolerated in pre-adolescents and adolescents.
