Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
The Percentage of Seroresponders to the Modified Process Hepatitis B Vaccine (5 μg and 10 μg Dose), RECOMBIVAX HB™ Hepatitis B Vaccine (Currently Licensed Vaccine), and ENGERIX-B®
7 months of age (1 month after 3 doses)

The percentage of participants as measured by Seroresponse. Seroresponse was defined as anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies greater than or equal to 10 milli-International Units (mIU)/mL. Success on the primary immunogenicity hypothesis required demonstrating an adequate anti-HBs seroprotection rate response for either modified process hepatitis B 5 μg vaccine or RECOMBIVAX HB™. Specifically, the lower bound of the multiplicity adjusted 95% confidence interval (CI) on the seroprotection rate for either vaccine was required to be above 90.0%.

Secondary Endpoints
Antibody to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Geometric Mean Titer (Anti-HBs GMT) Responses for Modified Process Vaccine (5 μg and 10 μg), RECOMBIVAX™ Hepatitis B (Currently Licensed Vaccine), and ENGERIX-B®
