PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 210

Population: The primary analysis was performed on the intent-to-treat (ITT) set, which included all participants randomized. Analysis of the study parameters for vaccine immunogenicity was performed for all subjects included in the vaccine groups who received at least one injection, if at least one assessment after the start of the vaccination was available.

Percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs antibody level ≥ 2.1 mIU/mL 30 days after the last of three vaccinations. Seroconversion is defined as the development of a detectable anti-HBs antibody level above an established threshold of 2.1 mIU/mL.

Timeframe: Days 1, 28, 90, 180, 210

Population: The analysis was performed on the intent-to-treat (ITT) set, which included all participants randomized. Analysis of the study parameters for vaccine immunogenicity was performed for all subjects included in the vaccine groups who received at least one injection, if at least one assessment after the start of the vaccination was available.

Percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs antibody level ≥ 10 mIU/mL prior to vaccination, 28 days after the first vaccination, 60 and 150 days after the second vaccination and 30 days after the third vaccination. The development of an anti-HBs antibody level of at least 10 mIU/mL is an established surrogate of seroprotection and correlate of protective immunity against HBV.
