Subject: Cervarix - Postmarketing Comments
In light of GSK’s concerns regarding feasibility, patient recruitment, and time required to complete the study, we suggest increasing the time period for analysis.
We suggest analyzing pregnancies whose:
- estimated date of conception lies between day -30 until day +90 days from nearest vaccination; and
- the spontaneous abortion occurred on or after the day of vaccination; and
- the estimated gestational age is less than 3 months at the time of pregnancy loss. (unless there are data to suggest that we should include SAB’s greater than 3 months EGA)
Please contact Michael Nguyen, M.D., at 301 827-2952, if you have any additional questions or need for clarification.
