Post-marketing surveillance study of the safety of the HPV-16/18 vaccine in Korea (2017–2021)

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with the risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, rectum, and oropharynx. In 2016, the bivalent HPV-16/18 vaccine was included in the Korea National Immunization Program. This vaccine protects...

description Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with the risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, rectum, and oropharynx. In 2016, the bivalent HPV-16/18 vaccine was included in the Korea National Immunization Program. This vaccine protects against HPV types 16 and 18 and other oncogenic HPV types predominant in cervical and anal cancers. This post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study assessed the safety of the HPV-16/18 vaccine in Korea. The study was conducted in males and females aged between 9 and 25 years, from 2017 to 2021. Safety was measured in terms of frequency and intensity of adverse events (AEs), adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and serious adverse events (SAEs) after each vaccine dose. The safety analysis included all participants who were vaccinated as per prescribing information and who completed a 30-day follow-up after at least one dose. Data were collected using individual case report forms. The total safety cohort included 662 participants. A total of 220 AEs were reported in 144 subjects (21.75%), and there were 158 ADRs in 111 subjects (16.77%), with the most common being injection site pain in all cases. No SAEs or serious ADRs were reported. Most AEs were reported after the first dose and were injection site reactions with mild intensity that recovered. No individuals required hospitalization or an emergency department visit. Safety results showed that the HPV-16/18 vaccine was generally well tolerated in the Korean population, and no safety concerns were identified. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03671369.
