Comparison of Safety, Immuno- and Reactogenicity of MPL-Adjuvanted Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine to That of Engerix™-B

June 13, 2008 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

Study to Compare the Safety, Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of Different Formulations of GSK Biologicals' (Previously SmithKline Beecham Biologicals') MPL-Adjuvanted Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine to That of Engerix™-B

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of different formulations of adjuvanted recombinant hepatitis B vaccine to that of Engerix™-B when administered at 0, 2 months with a booster at month 12 if necessary
