Immunogenicity and Safety of an Adjuvanted HBV Vaccine Compared to Engerix™-B, in a Non-responder Population ≥ 15y
Phase 3
Completed
- Conditions
- Hepatitis B
- Interventions
- Biological: Engerix™-BBiological: HBV-MPL vaccine 208129
- Registration Number
- NCT00698061
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
Subjects who had not responded to previous hepatitis B vaccination were vaccinated with either the adjuvanted HBV-MPL vaccine or Engerix™-B vaccine according to a three-dose vaccination schedule (0, 1, 2 months) and boosted at Month 12 as per their group allocation. The immunogenicity and safety of the HBV-MPL vaccine were compared with the control vaccine, Engerix™-B.
