Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • The Number of Seroprotected Participants to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine and ENGERIX-B™ (Currently Licensed Vaccine) at Month 7

    The number of participants as measured by the seroprotection rate (anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL). Anti-HBs (Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen) titers were measured from blood samples taken at Day 1 (prior to the first dose) and at Month 7 (1 month after the third dose).

    7 months (1 month after the third dose)

  • The Number of Seroprotected Participants to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine and ENGERIX-B™ (Currently Licensed Vaccine) at Month 9

    The number of participants as measured by the seroprotection rate (anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL). Anti-HBs (Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen) titers were measured from blood samples taken at Day 1 (prior to the first dose) and at Month 9 (1 month after the fourth dose).

    9 months (1 month after the fourth dose)

  • The Total Number of Participants With One or More Injection-Site Adverse Experiences

    Days 1-15 After Any Vaccination

  • The Total Number of Participants With a Maximum Temperature >= 100.0F / 37.8C

    Days 1-5 After Any Vaccination

  • The Total Number of Participants With Serious Vaccine-Related Clinical Adverse Experiences

    Participants with adverse experiences considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to study vaccines and considered serious (death, persistent disability, life threatening, hospitalization, birth defects, cancer, or overdose).

    0-9 months (recorded from first dose until the participant completes or discontinues the study)

  • Impairment of immunologic function
  • Recent use of systemic immunomodulatory medications
  • Pregnant women, nursing mothers or women planning to become pregnant
