- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Number of Seroprotected Participants to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine and ENGERIX-B™ (Currently Licensed Vaccine) at Month 7 7 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 9 9 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 Experiences Days 1-15 After Any Vaccination The Total Number of Participants With a Maximum Temperature >= 100.0F / 37.8C Days 1-5 After Any Vaccination The Total Number of Participants With Serious Vaccine-Related Clinical Adverse Experiences 0-9 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).
