エジンバラ大学とPublic Health Scotland、ストラスクライド大学の共同研究により、ヒトパピローマウイルス(HPV)ワクチンの12年以上にわたる長期有効性が明らかになった。スコットランド国内の約2万人の女性を対象に解析した結果、思春期(12〜13歳)でワクチン接種を受けた女性は、子宮頸部異形成および子宮頸がんの発症率が著しく低く、ワクチン未接種群と比べ最大で90%以上のリスク低下が確認された。接種年齢が高くなるにつれて効果はやや減少したが、長期間にわたり感染予防とがん抑制効果が持続することが証明された。また、社会経済的に不利な地域の女性でも高い予防効果が維持され、HPVワクチンが健康格差の縮小にも寄与することが示唆された。研究チームは、ワクチン接種と定期的な検診を組み合わせることで、将来的に子宮頸がんを「まれな疾患」とする可能性があると指摘している。

Abstract

Vaccination against high-risk HPV has been shown to reduce significantly the incidence of pre-invasive and invasive cervical disease. Clinical trials show immunity and vaccine effectiveness for over 12 years but real-life longitudinal data are lacking. Vaccination with the bivalent vaccine (3 dose schedule) for women aged 12–18 years began in Scotland in 2008; immunised women entered screening in 2010. Women immunised at age12–13 years entered screening in 2015. Linked data from ≤12 years of routine screening activity shows adjusted VE against CIN2+ at age 12–13 of 72·6% (95%CI: 67.7–76.8) and at age 14–16 of 63·2 (CI 60·4–65·8), and against CIN3+ of 81·7 (CI 76·2–78·6; age 12–13) and 68·1 (CI 64·1–71·6; age 14–16) after 3 doses or two doses 5 months apart. Adjusted VE following two doses 1 month apart or one dose only at age14 was 20.5 (95%CI: 6.1–32.6) for CIN2+ and 34.9 (95%CI:17.0–48.9) for CIN3+. No benefit was seen with vaccination over the age of 18 years. The most deprived women showed the highest incidence of CIN2+ and CIN3+, and the greatest reduction in CIN2+ and CIN3+ following complete immunisation. Herd protection is seen in all immunised cohorts. This population based analysis confirms the long-term effectiveness of the bivalent HPV vaccine, greatest in women from the most deprived areas and reinforces the importance of ensuring high vaccine uptake rates at an early age.

What’s New?

While vaccination against high-risk HPV infection, the primary cause of cervical malignancy, has demonstrated long-term effectiveness in clinical trials, real-life longitudinal data are lacking. Here, the authors present linked long-term screening data on the effectiveness of bivalent HPV vaccination with a minimum follow-up of 54 months. The results show high vaccine effectiveness against high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women who were vaccinated aged 12–13 years, significant effectiveness in women vaccinated aged 14–16 and 17–18 years with herd protection, and no benefit in women vaccinated over 18. The findings confirm stable protection from bivalent HPV vaccination.
