Detailed Description
This study was a comparative randomized double-blind clinical study of the efficacy and safety of Sci-B-Vac® (10 μg dose) and the Engerix-B® (20 μg dose) vaccines in hepatitis B-naive healthy adult subjects (n = 100). The study was conducted at 3 study sites in the Russian Federation. Subjects who passed the screening successfully were randomized into two groups, Sci-B-Vac® (10 μg dose) and Engerix-B® (20 μg dose), in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects were vaccinated three times at days 1, 28, and 180 of the study.
Statistical Methods: Evaluation and comparison of immunogenicity were conducted at baseline, day 28, day 90 (60 days after the second vaccination), day 180 (prior to administering the third vaccine, 90 days after the second vaccination), and day 210 (30 days after the third vaccination) of the study.
The primary outcome was the seroconversion rate (proportion of subjects with anti-HBs levels ≥ 2.1 mIU/mL) after the third vaccination at day 210. The non-inferiority margin was set at 4%. The percentage of subjects who achieved seroconversion was analyzed using the Chi-square test for proportions along with the McNemar's test for repeated measurements in each group. The non-inferiority hypotheses were confirmed if the lower range of the confidence interval was at least -4%. The secondary endpoint was SPR (≥10 mIU/ml), measured at days 1, 28, 90, 180 and 210.
Demographic data, initial parameters, safety parameters, tolerance of the experimental vaccine, and other study parameters were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean value, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values, range, quartiles, the number of valid cases-for quantitative variables; absolute number, proportion, allocation-for qualitative variables). A comparative assessment of the detection rate for different parameters in the two comparison groups was conducted using the Student's t-test; differences were considered statistically significant at a significance level of 5%. The assay used to measure anti-HBs concentrations had an upper limit of 1000 mIU/mL.

Experimental: Sci-B-Vac®
The 3-antigen HepB vaccine, Sci-B-Vac® contains three recombinant proteins of HBV viral envelope: small S, medium pre-S2, and large pre-S1 surface antigens.
Sci-B-Vac® was supplied in 1.0 ml vials.

Sci-B-Vac® vaccine-10 μg of HBsAg, intramuscular injection of 10 μg/ml
|
Active Comparator: Engerix-B®
The single-antigen HepB vaccine, Engerix-B® (GSK), contains the small S recombinant protein.
Engerix-B® was supplied in 1.0 ml vials.
|
Engerix-B® vaccine-20 μg of HBsAg, intramuscular injection of 20 μg/ml

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Seroconversion Rate
Time Frame: Day 210
|
Percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs antibody level ≥ 2.1 mIU/mL 30 days after the last of three vaccinations.
Seroconversion is defined as the development of a detectable anti-HBs antibody level above an established threshold of 2.1 mIU/mL.
|
Day 210

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Seroprotection Rate
Time Frame: Days 1, 28, 90, 180, 210
|
Percentage of subjects with an anti-HBs antibody level ≥ 10 mIU/mL prior to vaccination, 28 days after the first vaccination, 60 and 150 days after the second vaccination and 30 days after the third vaccination.
The development of an anti-HBs antibody level of at least 10 mIU/mL is an established surrogate of seroprotection and correlate of protective immunity against HBV.
