In human papillomavirus (HPV)-vaccinated women, reductions in cervical disease and related procedures results in more women having intact transformation zones, potentially increasing the risk of cervical lesions caused by non-vaccine-preventable types, a phenomenon termed “clinical unmasking”. We aimed to evaluate HPV vaccine efficacy against cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2+ (CIN2+) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 3+ (CIN3+) attributed to non-preventable types, through 11 years post-vaccination in the long-term follow-up phase of the Costa Rica HPV Vaccine Trial (CVT). CVT is a randomised (1:1), double-blinded trial which vaccinated women in Costa Rica aged 18-25 years with Cervarix®, the bivalent AS04-adjuvanted HPV vaccine (N=3727), or control hepatitis A vaccine (N=3739), administered intramuscularly with 0·5 mL doses at 0, 1, and 6 months. The allocation sequence was generated using a blocked randomisation method, with permuted block sizes of 14, 16, and 18. Blinding of vaccine allocation was maintained throughout the 4-year randomised trial phase, after which controls were provided the HPV vaccine and exited the study; a screening-only, unvaccinated control group (UCG) was enrolled. The UCG and HPV-vaccine arm were then followed for seven years, during which treatment allocation was not masked. One of the prespecified primary endpoints for the long-term follow-up phase of CVT was precancers associated with HPV types not prevented by the vaccine (primary outcome 1b), which we defined as histologically-confirmed incident CIN2+/CIN3+ attributed to non-preventable types (any type except HPV16/18/31/33/45). Because clinical unmasking may occur later when less aggressive genotypes cause disease, our primary analytical period was years 7-11, the observational follow-up phase. We also examined years 1-4 and both periods combined. Eligibility criteria for each analytical period included all women with at least one follow-up visit in the respective period and excluded women with a prior endpoint (i.e., modified intention-to-treat cohort). For each outcome, women were followed until the endpoint was reached or a cervical procedure was performed. We computed relative and absolute reductions in endpoints, and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). The randomised, blinded trial phase has been completed while an unblinded subset of women in the HPV-vaccinated arm is still under active investigation (Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00128661, NCT00867464). Between June 28, 2004, and December 21, 2005, 7466 women enrolled in CVT (HPV-vaccine arm=3727; control arm=3739). Between March 30, 2009, and July 5, 2012, 2836 women enrolled in the new UCG. The primary analytical cohort (years 7-11) included 2767 women in the HPV-vaccine arm and 2563 in the UCG for the CIN2+ endpoint assessment and 2826 women in the HPV-vaccine arm and 2592 in the UCG for the CIN3+ endpoint assessment. Median follow-up time during years 7-11 for women included for the CIN2+ analysis was 52·8 months (interquartile range 44·0-60·7) for the HPV-vaccine arm and 49·8 months (interquartile range 42·0-56·9) for the UCG. During years 7-11, clinical unmasking was observed with a significant negative VE against CIN2+ attributed to non-preventable types [−71·2% (95%CI −164%, −12.5%)]. Through 11 years, we observed 9·2 (95%CI 0.8, 17.8) additional CIN2+ events attributed to non-preventable types per 1000 vaccinated women versus unvaccinated women; despite this increase, we observed 27·0 (95%CI 14·2, 39·9) fewer CIN2+ events irrespective of type per 1000 vaccinated women. Similarly, VE against CIN3+ attributed to non-preventable types during years 7-11 was −135% (95%CI −330%, −33·5%). Higher CIN2+/CIN3+ rates due to non-preventable types in vaccinated versus unvaccinated women suggests unmasking could attenuate long-term reductions in high-grade disease following successful implementation of HPV vaccination programs in screened populations. Importantly, the net benefit of vaccination remains considerable therefore, HPV vaccination should still be prioritized as primary prevention for cervical cancer.
