About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Healthy Volunteers

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 55 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 20-55 years.
  • Naïve or previously hepatitis B-vaccinated males or females.
  • Normal and healthy as determined by medical history, physical exam, vital signs and clinical laboratory tests
  • Subject must meet all required/recommended subject suitability criteria that pertain to normal source plasma donors with the following exception:
  • Subjects who previously tested positive for HBsAg may be accepted into the anti- HBs program provided they now test negative and meet all other normal donor suitability criteria.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Schedule 1- Standard dose primary vaccination series

Schedule 2 - High dose primary vaccination series

Arm Description

Schedule 1 subjects received 20 µg/1.0 mL of Engerix-B® on Day 0, Day 30, Day 180 with booster of 20 µg/1.0 mL of Engerix-B® every 120 days (4 months) (after Day 180 vaccination)

Schedule 1 subjects received 40 µg/1.0 mL of Engerix-B® on Day 0, Day 30, Day 60, Day 180 with booster of 20 µg/1.0 mL of Engerix-B® every 120 days (4 months) (after Day 180 vaccination)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Comparison Between Vaccination Schedules Using Day 210 Anti-HBs Antibody Titers AUC(0-t)
The primary endpoint for study HB-012 is area under the anti-HBs antibody concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) through Day 210. This endpoint was chosen because it allowed for the assessment of changes in anti HBs antibody concentration over time, and addressed one of the study objectives: to determine the effectiveness of Engerix-B booster vaccinations in the production of high anti-HBs titer plasma. By comparing AUC0-t between the two dosing schedules, the primary endpoint of AUC0-t also addressed the study objective to determine the optimal vaccination schedule to obtain high anti-HBs titer plasma for the manufacture of HepaGam B.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Comparison Between Vaccination Schedules Using Anti-HBs Titers on Day 210
Anti-HBs titers on Day 210 were assessed as a measure of the anti-HBs level attained following completion of the primary vaccination series; the final primary-series vaccination was administered for both Schedules on Day 180.
Comparison Between Vaccination Schedules Using Time to Reach 55 IU/mL Anti-HBs Plasma Titer Level
Time to reach 55 IU/mL was calculated based on the actual time, in days, from the baseline visit (Day 0) to the first time to reach an anti-HBs titer of 55 IU/mL using Kaplan - Meier methods.
Time to Reach Anti-HBs Level of 80 IU/mL
Time to reach 80 IU/mL was calculated based on the actual time, in days, from the baseline visit (Day 0) to the first time to reach an anti-HBs titer of 80 IU/mL.
Comparison Between Vaccination Schedules Using Time to Peak Anti-HBs Titer
Time to reach peak anti-HBs plasma titer was calculated based on the actual times in days, from the baseline visit (Day 0) to the peak titer using Kaplan-Meier methods.
