Study start date: June 16, 2004

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The Base study vaccination period (V501-019) encompassed Day 1 through Month 7, during which time participants received randomly assigned, blinded Gardasil™ (V501, qHPV vaccine) or placebo at Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6. The Base study follow-up period continued through approximately Month 48. The base study was extended in protocol V501-019-10 (EXT1). Participants who received placebo and participants who received only 1 dose of qHPV vaccine in the Base Study were offered a complete, open-label, 3-dose qHPV vaccine regimen (administered at EXT1 Day 1, Month 2 and Month 6). Participants who received only 2 doses of qHPV vaccine in the base study were offered a single additional dose of qHPV vaccine (administered at EXT1 Day 1). Participants were followed to EXT1 Month 7. A Long Term Follow-Up (LTFU) extension study V501-019-21 (EXT2) was added to observe the long term safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of qHPV vaccine in approximately 1,600 women who participated in the Base Study at sites in Colombia. Data were collected over a period of 6-10 years following participant's enrollment in the original Base Study.
