Brief Summary

A Controlled Trial to Assess the Lot-to-lot Consistency of Sci-B-Vac™ in Adults

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to verify that the manufacturing equivalence of Sci-B-Vac™ is consistent and to compare the immunogenicity and safety of a three-dose regimen of Sci-B-Vac™ to a three-dose regimen of Engerix-B® in adults.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Anti-HBs at Day 196 for Lot-to-Lot Consistency (Per Protocol Set 1)4 weeks after third vaccination (Study Day 196)

To demonstrate the manufacturing equivalence, in terms of immunogenicity, as measured by GMC of antibodies, of 3 independent consecutive lots of the Sci-B-Vac® 4 weeks after the third vaccination. Lot-to-lot manufacturing consistency of Sci-B-Vac® is demonstrated if the 95% CIs of the adjusted anti-HBs GMC ratios between lots are within the pre-specified range of \[0.67, 1.5\].

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subject-reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)Day of vaccine administration and six subsequent days

Analysis of local and systemic solicited adverse events with an interval of onset of Day 1 to Day 7 after any vaccination with either Sci-B-Vac® or Engerix-B®, in adults ≥18 years old.

Seroprotection Rate (SPR) of Anti-HBs at Day 196 for Sci-B-Vac® Compared to Day 196 for Engerix-B® (Per Protocol Set 2)4 weeks after third vaccination (Study Day 196)

The difference in proportions \[SPR(Sci-B-Vac®)-SPR(Engerix-B®)\] and two-sided 95% CIs were summarized. If the lower bound of the 95% CI was \> 5%, Sci-B-Vac® was to be declared non-inferior to Engerix-B®
