Results Overview

Subjects will be given a diary for 4 days after the first and second vaccination. Dairy: Local reactions at injection site: Pain (1 to 4), Impaired movement of injected arm (1 to 4), Redness/erythema (cm), Swelling (cm), Induration (cm) General/Systemic adverse events: Fever (temperature measurement), Headache (1 to 4), Fatigue (1 to 4), Muscle pain (1 to 4), Skin rash (1 to 4), Vomiting (1 to 4), Diarrhea (1 to 4). Record medication taken during the study (up to 7 months after the first vaccination).

Participant Flow

This phase I study involved two trials: a double-blinded RCT in naïve participants and an open-label study in a cohort of true non-responders. At the first visit, a physical examination was performed and blood and urine sampling were taken, and informed written consent was required to participate in the study.

In RCT, 27 recruits, 3 naïve participants exclusions: * 1 with liver LFTs abnormalities * 1 with anti-HBs-AB \>10 mIU/mL * 1 with suspicion of Cushing's syndrome Thus, 24 healthy participants were included. In the open-label study, 10 true non-responders were screened, then included. All participants were between 18 and 59 years of age.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0, 10, 30, 40, 60, 180, and 210

Population: RCT: 27 participants screened, 3 excluded: 1 with LFTs abnormalities, 1 anti-HBs titre \>10 mIU/mL, 1 suspected Cushing's syndrome. 24 included. Open-Label: 10 screened and included.

Seroprotection at visit number 7, one month after the third vaccination. Anti-HBs antibodies were assayed from serum using a routine chemiluminescence assay (Anti-HBs, Cobas 8000, Roche, Germany). Titres \>10 mIU/mL were considered to be seroprotective.
