PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12 for HEPLISAV and Week 28 for Engerix-B

Population: Per Protocol Population: Subjects who met eligibility criteria, did not violate the protocol in a substantial manner, received all protocol-specified study injections, had their primary serology and all injections within the specified day ranges, and had serology at their primary endpoint (Week 12 for HEPLISAV group and Week 28 for Engerix-B group)
