Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Number of Seroprotected Participants to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine and ENGERIX-B™ (Currently Licensed Vaccine) at Month 77 months (1 month after the third dose)

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).

The Number of Seroprotected Participants to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine and ENGERIX-B™ (Currently Licensed Vaccine) at Month 99 months (1 month after the fourth dose)

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).

The Total Number of Participants With One or More Injection-Site Adverse ExperiencesDays 1-15 After Any Vaccination
The Total Number of Participants With a Maximum Temperature >= 100.0F / 37.8CDays 1-5 After Any Vaccination
The Total Number of Participants With Serious Vaccine-Related Clinical Adverse Experiences0-9 months (recorded from first dose until the participant completes or discontinues the study)

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).
