GARDASIL is a vaccine indicated in girls and women 9 through 26years of age for the prevention of the following diseases caused byHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) types included in the vaccine: Cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancer caused by HPV types 16and 18 (1.1) Genital warts (condyloma acuminata) caused by HPV types 6 and11 (1.1)And the following precancerous or dysplastic lesions caused by HPVtypes 6, 11, 16, and 18: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2/3 and Cervicaladenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) (1.1) Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 (1.1) Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) grade 2 and grade 3 (1.1) Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) grade 2 and grade 3 (1.1) Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grades 1, 2, and 3 (1.1)GARDASIL is indicated in boys and men 9 through 26 years of age forthe prevention of the following diseases caused by HPV types includedin the vaccine: Anal cancer caused by HPV types 16 and 18 (1.2) Genital warts (condyloma acuminata) caused by HPV types 6 and11 (1.2)And the following precancerous or dysplastic lesions caused by HPVtypes 6, 11, 16, and 18: Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grades 1, 2, and 3. (1.2)Limitations of GARDASIL Use and Effectiveness: GARDASIL does not eliminate the necessity for women tocontinue to undergo recommended cervical cancer screening.(1.3, 17) Recipients of GARDASIL should not discontinue anal cancerscreening if it has been recommended by a health care provider.(1.3, 17) GARDASIL has not been demonstrated to provide protectionagainst disease from vaccine and non-vaccine HPV types to whicha person has previously been exposed through sexual activity.(1.3, 14.4, 14.5) GARDASIL is not intended to be used for treatment of activeexternal genital lesions; cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and analcancers; CIN; VIN; VaIN, or AIN. (1.3) GARDASIL has not been demonstrated to protect againstdiseases due to HPV types not contained in the vaccine. (1.3,14.4, 14.5) Not all vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers are caused by HPV, andGARDASIL protects only against those vulvar, vaginal, and analcancers caused by HPV 16 and 18. (1.3) GARDASIL does not protect against genital diseases not causedby HPV. (1.3) Vaccination with GARDASIL may not result in protection in allvaccine recipients. (1.3) GARDASIL has not been demonstrated to prevent HPV-relatedCIN 2/3 or worse in women older than 26 years of age. (14.7)
DrugBank Targets:
-
Mechanism of Action:
18
Target: humoral immune response
Action: inducer
FDA: HPV only infects human beings. Animal studies with analogous animal papillomaviruses suggest thatthe efficacy of L1 VLP vaccines may involve the development of humoral immune responses. Humanbeings develop a humoral immune response to the vaccine, although the exact mechanism of protectionis unknown.
