WORLD
First cervical cancer vaccine shows promising results
WASHINGTON — Efforts to develop the world's first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer took a key step forward yesterday with test results suggesting that it can provide long-lasting protection.
Four years after getting the vaccine, 94 percent of women were protected from infection with the virus that causes most cervical cancers and none had developed worrisome precancerous conditions, a study showed.
"We're thrilled about these results. The immune responses seem to be really long-lasting," said Eliav Barr, who leads development of the vaccine for Merck & Co.
The company plans to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval next year for an expanded version of the vaccine that also could be used to prevent genital warts in both women and men.
The new study was funded by Merck and led by University of Washington researchers who presented results yesterday at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.
If the vaccine makes it to market, it would be the second developed to prevent cancer.
The hepatitis B vaccine has dramatically reduced the number of infections that progress to liver cancer.
