SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-placebo (PP) and post-vaccination period following each vaccine dose (D1 and D2) and across doses

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented, who have filled in their symptom sheets.

Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms \[nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and /or abdominal pain\], headache, malaise, myalgia, shivering and temperature \[defined as oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination

Timeframe: Within the 28-day (Days 0-27) post-placebo (PP) and post-product administration period.

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset out-side the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

Heart rate was part of the list of vital signs followed at specific protocol-defined timepoints during this study. It was expressed in beats per minute. On Days -30, 0 and 30, heart rate was assessed at multiple time points (plus 1.5, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 hours - H1.5, H3, H6, H9, H12 and H18).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Day 0 (PRE) and post-vaccination (Day 44 for HBsAg/AS_2 Group and Day 194 for Engerix-B_2 Group)

Population: Analyses were performed on the According-To-Protocol (ATP) cohort for adaptive immunogenicity up to 30 days (step 2 only) post last vaccination, which included all evaluable subjects, who complied with the protocol and for whom data concerning adaptive immunogenicity were available for at least one adaptive assay at one post-vaccination time point.

Anti-HBs antibody concentrations in serum were measured by CLIA Assay. Concentrations were presented as geometric mean concentrations, in milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/mL).

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms \[nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain\], headache, malaise, myalgia, shivering and temperature \[defined as oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. At Day 0 of dose 2, two temperatures were collected: one at Hour 0 (H0) and a second one at Hour 18 (H18). The highest temperature between H0 et H18 was taken.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each vaccine dose and across doses

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms \[nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain\], headache, malaise, myalgia, shivering and temperature \[defined as oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination. There was no pooling for temperature symptom between Step 1 and Step 2 due to difference in recording approach for the 18 hour data (nurse or self-assessment).

Timeframe: Within the 28-day (Days 0-27) and post-vaccination period

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset out-side the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

Timeframe: At Day 0 (PRE), Day 30 (H0, H6) at Day 31, at Day 32, at Day 37, at Day 60 for the HBsAg/AS_2 Group and at Day 0 (PRE), Day 180 (H0, H6), Day 181, at Day 182, at Day 187 and at Day 210 for the Engerix-B_2 Group

Population: The analysis was performed on the Total Vaccinated cohort, which included all subjects with the vaccine administration documented.

Systolic pressure was part of the list of vital signs followed at specific protocol-defined time points during this study, measured in millimeter of mercury (mmHg). On Days 30 and 180, systolic pressure was assessed at multiple time points (plus 0 and 6 hours - H0, H6).

Timeframe: At Day 0 prior to vaccination (PRE) and Day 44 post-vaccination

Population: The analysis was performed on the ATP cohort for adaptive immunogenicity up to Day 60 (step 1 only) which included all evaluable subjects who complied with the protocol and for whom data concerning adaptive immunogenicity were available for at least one adaptive assay at one post-vaccination time point (up to Day 60).

Markers expressed were Interleukin-2 (IL-2), Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α and Cluster of differentiation 40-Ligand (CD40L), as measured by classical (qualified assay) Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS),using frozen Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
