On October 24, 2013 Merck & Co provided an overview of the clinical trial program for V503, the company’s investigational 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in the United States (Press release Merck & Co, OCT 24, 2013, View Source [SID:1234500312]). Merck said that the pivotal efficacy trial is complete, the primary endpoints have been met and the company expects to submit a Biologics License Application for V503 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2013.
The study evaluated the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of V503 in females 16-26 years of age. Merck plans to present results from this study, as well as other results from the Phase III clinical program for V503, at the EUROGIN (EUropean Research Organisation on Genital Infection and Neoplasia) congress in November.
