- Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Anti-HBs at Day 196 for Lot-to-Lot Consistency (Per Protocol Set 1) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after third vaccination (Study Day 196) ]To demonstrate the manufacturing equivalence, in terms of immunogenicity, as measured by GMC of antibodies, of 3 independent consecutive lots of the Sci-B-Vac® 4 weeks after the third vaccination. Lot-to-lot manufacturing consistency of Sci-B-Vac® is demonstrated if the 95% CIs of the adjusted anti-HBs GMC ratios between lots are within the pre-specified range of [0.67, 1.5].
- Seroprotection Rate (SPR) of Anti-HBs at Day 196 for Sci-B-Vac® Compared to Day 196 for Engerix-B® (Per Protocol Set 2) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after third vaccination (Study Day 196) ]The difference in proportions [SPR(Sci-B-Vac®)-SPR(Engerix-B®)] and two-sided 95% CIs were summarized. If the lower bound of the 95% CI was > 5%, Sci-B-Vac® was to be declared non-inferior to Engerix-B®
- Percentage of Subject-reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Day of vaccine administration and six subsequent days ]Analysis of local and systemic solicited adverse events with an interval of onset of Day 1 to Day 7 after any vaccination with either Sci-B-Vac® or Engerix-B®, in adults ≥18 years old.
