PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12, Week 24, Week 28, Week 76

Population: The safety and tolerability of each vaccine was assessed and reported among all enrolled participants (per-protocol) after baseline at each visit visit. The data presented are cumulative for events identified at each time point.

Frequency Distribution of AEs by Study Arm and Preferred Term. The safety and tolerability of each vaccine was assessed by measuring reactogenicity. The reactions were coded as "Any" vs. "None". In summarizing the distribution of AEs, the number of subjects with at least one event by preferred term and study arm were reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 28

Population: Subjects who had a wk 28 Hep B a'body titer and was no more than 8 wks after the 2nd vaccination were included. 1 subject was missing wk 28 titer. The a'body at week 48 was positive, so subject was treated as a responder for the binary measure. For the continuous a'body titer, the exact number could not be assumed; subject was treated as missing.

The Log10 titer was used as the quantitative vaccine response.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 28

Population: Participants who had a Wk 28 Hep B a'body titer were included. One subject had no results at Wk 28 but had results at entry and end of study (EOS). Since the EOS titer was \> 10, this subject was included as a responder in qualitative analyses, but not in quantitative analyses, since the EOS titer is not sufficiently predictive of the Wk 28 titer.

Qualitative Vaccine Response to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen is defined as a "Responder" if serum a'body level is \>= 10 mIU/mL and a "Non- Responder" if a serum antibody level is \< 10 mIU/mL. Study arm was analyzed as a potential impact factor and was measured and examined for the association with both the presence of adequate response as well as the quantitative titer one month post 2 vaccine doses.

Population: Participants who had a Wk 28 Hep B a'body titer were included. One subject had no results at Wk 28 but had results at entry and end of study (EOS). Since the EOS titer was \> 10, this subject was included as a responder in qualitative analyses, but not in quantitative analyses, since the EOS titer is not sufficiently predictive of the Wk 28 titer.

Qualitative Vaccine Response to Hepatitis B (Hep B) Surface Antigen is defined as a "Responder" if serum a'body level is \>= 10 mIU/mL and a "Non- Responder" if a serum antibody level is \< 10 mIU/mL. Whether participants ever smoked cigarettes was analyzed as a potential impact factor and was measured and examined for the association with both the presence of adequate response as well as the quantitative titer one month post 2 vaccine doses.
