Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the durability of protection against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection approximately 8-9 years after vaccination with Vaxelis®. This is an estimation study, and no formal hypothesis testing was performed.

  • The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent/assent for the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Has a history of diagnosis (clinical, serological, or microbiological) of HBV infection.
  • Has a known or suspected impairment of immunological function (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), splenectomy).
  • Has a known hypersensitivity to any component of the study vaccine.
  • Has a known or suspected blood dyscrasias, leukemia, lymphomas of any type or other malignant neoplasms affecting the haematopoietic and lymphatic system.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With a Protective Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Level of ≥10 Milli International Units/mL (mIU/mL) at 30 Days Post-Challenge With HBVAXPRO™

Time Frame: Day 30

Participant serum samples were collected for analysis with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECi) assay to determine the concentration of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Response rate was the percentage of participants with a protective hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) level of ≥ 10 mIU/mL at Day 30 post-challenge.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Geometric Mean Concentration of Antibodies to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen(Day 1 and Day 30)
