Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Subjects Reporting Clinically Significant Adverse Events - Medically-attended Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest
Week 56

The percentage of participants with Medically-attended adverse events (MAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). MAEs are Adverse events (AEs) for which a subject sought medical attention at a doctor's office, clinic or study site, or emergency room, or was hospitalized. SAEs are AEs that met the definition of Serious per FDA regulations. Immune-mediated AESIs are AEs that were confirmed to be autoimmune in etiology.

Percentage of Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have a Seroprotective Immune Response
Week 28

Percentage of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have a seroprotective immune response (anti-HBs ≥ 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) who receive HEPLISAV compared with subjects who receive Engerix-B

Proportion of subjects with seroprotection rate (SPR), defined as the percentage of subjects with anti-HBsAg serum concentration of 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL or higher, measured at Week 4
week 4
Percentage of Participants With Local and Systemic Post-injection Reaction Rates
Within 7 days post-injection for post-injection reactions at Week 0 and Week 4

Local and Systemic post-injection reactions.

Evaluate the changes in cellular responses and gene expression patterns in serial blood samples collected from healthy older adults after vaccination with HEPLISAV.
Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28
Determine which of these changes correlate with the development of protective levels of antibody (anti-HBs >/= 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) to hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28

Frequently asked questions about HEPLISAV

What is HEPLISAV used for?

HEPLISAV is a hepatitis B vaccine being developed for the prevention of hepatitis B infection. It is studied in healthy adults, including older adults, and in adults with end stage renal disease who are on hemodialysis. The vaccine is designed to generate an immune response against the hepatitis B virus.

Who makes HEPLISAV?

HEPLISAV is being developed by Dynavax Technologies Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol DVAX. Dynavax is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine across different patient populations.

What phase is HEPLISAV in?

HEPLISAV is in Phase 3 clinical development. The most advanced trial, NCT02117934, is a Phase 3 study comparing HEPLISAV to Engerix-B vaccine in healthy adults. Earlier Phase 2 and Phase 1 studies have also been completed, but the drug remains investigational and is not yet approved.

What clinical trials is HEPLISAV in?

HEPLISAV has been studied in several completed clinical trials. NCT02117934 is a Phase 3 trial in 8,374 healthy adults comparing HEPLISAV to Engerix-B. NCT01195246 is a Phase 3 trial in 155 adults on hemodialysis with end stage renal disease. NCT00511095 is a Phase 2 trial in 207 healthy adolescents, and NCT01999699 is a Phase 1 trial in 25 healthy older adults.

How does HEPLISAV work?

HEPLISAV is a vaccine designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the hepatitis B virus. It is administered to induce protective immunity, particularly in populations at risk of hepatitis B infection, such as healthy adults and those with end stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis.

Is HEPLISAV the same as Engerix-B?

HEPLISAV is not the same as Engerix-B. Engerix-B is a comparator vaccine used in clinical trials to evaluate HEPLISAV's safety and immunogenicity. In the Phase 3 trial NCT02117934, HEPLISAV was directly compared to Engerix-B in healthy adults to assess immune responses.
