Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to prevent cancers related to human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common virus that can cause an infection. There are many different types of HPV.

A standard vaccine to prevent HPV-related cancers is V503. V503 protects against 9 types of HPV. V540A is a study vaccine designed to protect against the same (shared) 9 HPV types plus other (unique) HPV types.

Researchers want to learn if V540A:

* Is safe and if people tolerate it
* Works as well as V503 to cause an immune response (the body's response to protect against infections and illnesses) to the shared HPV types.
