Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The rates of seroconversion after two doses of Heplisav-B given at 0 and 4 weeks versus three doses of Heplisav-B given at 0, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.

    The rates of seroconversion is defined as an HBsAg antibody concentration ≥ 10 mIU/ml.

    12 weeks after completing Heplisav-B series with two doses or three doses

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Factors are associated with a lower likelihood of achieving immunogenicity, such as age, race, MELD scores, etiologies of cirrhosis, comorbidity, immunosuppressive drugs. Those information will be measured or described descriptively by chart review.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (4)

Cirrhosis, 3-dose regimen

EXPERIMENTAL

Investigators will randomize the patient in the cirrhotic group to receive a 3-dose regimen of Heplisav-B.

Biological: Heplisav-B Injectable Product, 3-dose regimen

Cirrhosis, 2-dose regimen

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Investigators will randomize the patient in the cirrhotic group to receive a 2-dose regimen of Heplisav-B.

Biological: Heplisav-B Injectable Product, 2-dose regimen

Non cirrhosis, 3-dose regimen

EXPERIMENTAL

Investigators will randomize the patient in the noncirrhotic group to receive a 3-dose regimen of Heplisav-B.

Biological: Heplisav-B Injectable Product, 3-dose regimen

Non cirrhosis, 2-dose regimen

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Investigators will randomize the patient in the noncirrhotic group to receive a 2-dose regimen of Heplisav-B.

Biological: Heplisav-B Injectable Product, 2-dose regimen

Interventions

Investigators will randomly assign patients into a 2-dose regimen.
