Adverse Reactions

Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
A total of 9597 individuals 18 through 70 years of age received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine in 5 clinical trials conducted in the United States, Canada, and Germany. Data from three of these trials are provided below.

Study 1 in Subjects 18 through 55 Years of Age

Study 1 was a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in Canada and Germany in which 1810 subjects received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine and 605 subjects received at least 1 dose of Engerix-B® [Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant)]. Enrolled subjects had no history of hepatitis B vaccination or infection. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 month followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months. In the total study population, the mean age was 40

years; 46% of the subjects were men; 93% were white, 2% black, 3% Asian and 3% Hispanic; 26% were obese, 10% had hypertension, 8% had dyslipidemia, and 2% had diabetes mellitus. These demographic and baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccine groups. Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions

Subjects were monitored for local and systemic adverse reactions using diary cards for a 7-day period starting on the day of vaccination. The percentages of subjects who reported local and systemic reactions are shown in Table 1.

Unsolicited Adverse Events:

Unsolicited adverse events within 28 days following any injection, including placebo, were reported by 42.0% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 41.3% of Engerix-B recipients.

Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Subjects were monitored for serious adverse events for 7 months after the first dose of vaccine. The percentage of subjects reporting serious adverse events was 1.5% in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 2.1% in the Engerix-B group. No acute myocardial infarctions were reported. No deaths were reported.

Potentially Immune-mediated Adverse Events

Potentially immune-mediated adverse events that occurred within 7 months of the first dose of vaccine were reported in 0.2% (n = 4) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.7% (n = 4) of Engerix-B recipients. The following events were reported in the hepatitis B vaccine group in one subject each: granulomatosis with polyangiitis, lichen planus, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Grave’s disease. The following events were reported in the Engerix-B group in one subject each: Bell’s palsy, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and Grave’s disease. One additional Engerix-B recipient with a history of mixed connective tissue disease had pANCA-positive vasculitis.

Study 2 in Subjects 40 through 70 Years of Age

Study 2 was a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in Canada and the United States in which 1968 subjects received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine and 481 subjects received at least 1 dose of Engerix-B. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 month followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Enrolled subjects had no history of hepatitis B vaccination or infection. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months. In the total population, the mean age was 54 years; 48% of subjects were men; 82% were white, 15% black, 1% Asian and 6% Hispanic; 44% were obese, 30% had hypertension, 30% had dyslipidemia, and 8% had diabetes mellitus. These demographic and baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccine groups.

Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions

Subjects were monitored for local and systemic adverse reactions using diary cards for a 7-day period starting on the day of vaccination. The percentages of subjects who experienced local and systemic reactions are shown in Table 2.

Unsolicited Adverse Events:

Unsolicited adverse events within 28 days following any injection, including placebo, were reported by 35.4% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 36.2% of Engerix-B recipients.

Serious Adverse Events

Subjects were monitored for serious adverse events for 12 months after the first dose of vaccine. The percentage of subjects reporting serious adverse events was 3.9% in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 4.8% in the Engerix-B group. Acute myocardial infarction occurred in 0.1% (n=2) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.2% (n=1) of Engerix-B recipients.

Autoimmune Adverse Events

Subjects were monitored for the occurrence of new-onset potentially immune-mediated adverse events for 12 months after the first dose of vaccine. Events were adjudicated as to whether they were autoimmune by an external group of experts blinded to treatment assignment. As determined by the adjudicators, new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in 0.2% (n=3) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients: two subjects with hypothyroidism and one subject with vitiligo. None of these events was considered related to vaccination by the expert group. No new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in the Engerix-B group. Although not referred to the external group of experts, one hepatitis B vaccine recipient was determined to have Tolosa-Hunt syndrome which is presumed to have an immune-mediated etiology. This event was not considered related to vaccination.

Deaths

One subject (0.05%) died of a pulmonary embolism in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 1 subject (0.2%) died of heart failure in the Engerix-B group. Neither death was considered related to vaccination.

Study 3 in Subjects 18 through 70 Years of Age

Study 3 was a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in the United States in which 5587 subjects received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine and 2781 subjects received at least 1 dose of Engerix-B. Enrolled subjects had no history of hepatitis B vaccination or infection. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 month followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months. In the total study population, the mean age was 50 years; 51% were men; 71% were white, 26% black, 1% Asian, and 9% Hispanic; 48% were obese, 36% had hypertension, 32% had dyslipidemia, and 14% had type 2 diabetes mellitus. These demographic and baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccine groups.

Unsolicited Medically-Attended Adverse Events

Subjects were monitored for unsolicited medically-attended adverse events, those for which a subject sought medical care, for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. Overall, medically-attended adverse events were reported in 46.0% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 46.2% of Engerix-B recipients. Herpes zoster was reported in 0.7% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.3% of Engerix-B recipients. Unsolicited medically-attended adverse events within 28 days following any injection, including placebo, were reported by 20.1% of both hepatitis B vaccine and Engerix-B recipients.

Serious Adverse Events

Subjects were monitored for serious adverse events for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. The percentage of subjects who reported serious adverse events was 6.2% in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 5.3% in the Engerix-B group. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was reported in 0.25% (n=14) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.04% (n=1) of Engerix-B recipients. An analysis of serious adverse events likely representing myocardial infarction (MI) was conducted using the standard Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) query (SMQ) for MI. This analysis identified a total of 19 hepatitis B vaccine subjects (0.3%) and 3 Engerix-B subjects (0.1%) with events included in the SMQ for MI (these events include the 15 reports of AMI). Additional evidence, including information on temporal relationship and baseline risk factors, does not support a causal relationship between hepatitis B vaccine administration and AMI. Among the 19 events identified as MI in hepatitis B vaccine recipients, three occurred within 14 days, nine occurred within 53-180 days, and seven occurred more than 180 days following any dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Among the three events identified as MI in EngerixB recipients, one each occurred 13, 115, and 203 days following any dose. All 19 hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 3 Engerix-B recipients reported one or more baseline risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Autoimmune Adverse Events

Subjects were monitored for the occurrence of new-onset potentially immune-mediated adverse events for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. Events were adjudicated as to whether they were autoimmune by an external group of experts who were blinded to treatment assignment. As determined by the adjudicators, new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in 0.1% (n=4) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients [one each of: alopecia areata, polymyalgia rheumatica, ulcerative colitis, and autoimmune thyroiditis (with concurrent diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma)]. None of these events was considered to be related to vaccination by the external experts. No new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in the Engerix-B group.

Deaths

During the study death was reported in 25 subjects (0.4%) in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 7 subjects (0.3%) in the Engerix-B group. No death was considered related to vaccination.

Postmarketing Experience

(Description)

Drug Interactions

Use with Immune Globulin
Interference with Laboratory Tests

Use with Immune Globulin

There are no data to assess the concomitant use of hepatitis B vaccine with immune globulin. When concomitant administration of hepatitis B vaccine and immune globulin is required, they should be given with different syringes at different injection sites.

Interference with Laboratory Tests

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) derived from hepatitis B vaccines has been transiently detected in blood samples following vaccination. Serum HBsAg detection may not have diagnostic value within 28 days after receipt of hepatitis B vaccine.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category (FDA):

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to hepatitis B vaccine during pregnancy. Women who receive hepatitis B vaccine during pregnancy are encouraged to contact 1-844-443-7734.

Risk Summary

All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In clinically recognized pregnancies in the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20%.
There are no clinical studies of hepatitis B vaccine in pregnant women. Available human data on HEPLISAVB administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
In a developmental toxicity study, 0.3 mL of a vaccine formulation containing 2.5 mcg HBsAg and 3000 mcg cytosine phosphoguanine (CpG) 1018 adjuvant was administered to female rats prior to mating and during gestation. These animal studies revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to this vaccine formulation.

Data (Animal)

Developmental toxicity studies were conducted in female rats. Animals were administered 0.3 mL of a vaccine formulation containing 2.5 mcg HBsAg and 3000 mcg CpG 1018 adjuvant twice prior to mating, and on gestation days 6 and 18 (a single human dose of hepatitis B vaccine contains 20 mcg HBsAg and 3000 mcg CpG 1018 adjuvant). No adverse effects on pre-natal and post-natal development up to the time of weaning were observed. There were no vaccine-related fetal malformations or variations observed.

Pregnancy Category (AUS): There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Hepatitis B Vaccine, adjuvanted (Heplisav-B) in women who are pregnant.

Nonclinical Toxicology

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Hepatitis B vaccine has not been evaluated for carcinogenicity, mutagenic potential or male infertility in animals. Vaccination of female rats with a vaccine formulation containing 2.5 mcg HBsAg and 3000 mcg CpG 1018 adjuvant had no effect on fertility.

Clinical Studies

Evaluation of Seroprotection

The immunogenicity of hepatitis B vaccine was evaluated in comparison with a licensed hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B) in 3 randomized, active controlled, observer-blinded, multi-center Phase 3 clinical trials of adults. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 months followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months.
The trials compared the seroprotection rates (% with antibody concentration ≥ 10 mIU/mL) induced by hepatitis B vaccine and Engerix-B. Noninferiority was met if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the difference in seroprotection rates (hepatitis B vaccine minus Engerix-B) was greater than -10%.

Study 1: Seroprotection in Adults 18 through 55 Years of Age

In Study 1, the immunogenicity population comprised 1511 participants who received hepatitis B vaccine and 521 who received Engerix-B. The mean age was 40 years for both groups. The primary analysis compared the seroprotection rate at Week 12 for hepatitis B vaccine with that at Week 28 for Engerix-B. Non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate induced by hepatitis B vaccine compared to Engerix-B was demonstrated (Table 3).

Study 2: Seroprotection in Adults 40 through 70 Years of Age

In Study 2, the immunogenicity population comprised 1121 subjects who received hepatitis B vaccine and 353 subjects who received Engerix-B. The mean age was 54 years for both groups. The primary analysis compared the seroprotection rate at Week 12 for hepatitis B vaccine with that at Week 32 for Engerix-B. Noninferiority of the seroprotection rate induced by hepatitis B vaccine compared to Engerix-B was demonstrated (Table 4).

Study 3: Seroprotection in Adults 18 through 70 Years of Age Including those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

In Study 3, the immunogenicity population comprised 4537 subjects who received hepatitis B vaccine and 2289 subjects who received Engerix-B. The mean age was 51 years and 14% of subjects had type 2 diabetes mellitus (defined as having a clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and taking at least an oral or noninsulin injectable hypoglycemic agent and/or insulin).
The primary analysis compared the seroprotection rate at Week 28 for hepatitis B vaccine (n= 640) with that at Week 28 for Engerix-B (n= 321) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate induced by hepatitis B vaccine compared to Engerix-B was demonstrated (Table 5).

A secondary analysis compared the seroprotection rate at Week 24 for hepatitis B vaccine with that at Week 28 for Engerix-B in the total study population. Non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate induced by hepatitis B vaccine compared to Engerix-B was demonstrated (Table 6).

Another secondary analysis compared the seroprotection rate at Week 24 for hepatitis B vaccine with that at Week 28 for Engerix-B, by age group. For each age stratum non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate induced by hepatitis B vaccine compared to Engerix-B was demonstrated (Table 7).

+*Study 2 was a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in Canada and the United States in which 1968 subjects received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine and 481 subjects received at least 1 dose of Engerix-B. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 month followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Enrolled subjects had no history of hepatitis B vaccination or infection. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months. In the total population, the mean age was 54 years; 48% of subjects were men; 82% were white, 15% black, 1% Asian and 6% Hispanic; 44% were obese, 30% had hypertension, 30% had dyslipidemia, and 8% had diabetes mellitus. These demographic and baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccine groups.
-=====Condition 2=====
+''Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions''
+*Subjects were monitored for local and systemic adverse reactions using diary cards for a 7-day period starting on the day of vaccination. The percentages of subjects who experienced local and systemic reactions are shown in Table 2.
-* Dosing Information

+''Unsolicited Adverse Events:''
-:* (Dosage)
+*Unsolicited adverse events within 28 days following any injection, including placebo, were reported by 35.4% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 36.2% of Engerix-B recipients.
+''Serious Adverse Events''
-=====Condition 3=====
+*Subjects were monitored for serious adverse events for 12 months after the first dose of vaccine. The percentage of subjects reporting serious adverse events was 3.9% in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 4.8% in the Engerix-B group. Acute myocardial infarction occurred in 0.1% (n=2) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.2% (n=1) of Engerix-B recipients.
+''Autoimmune Adverse Events''
-* Dosing Information
+*Subjects were monitored for the occurrence of new-onset potentially immune-mediated adverse events for 12 months after the first dose of vaccine. Events were adjudicated as to whether they were autoimmune by an external group of experts blinded to treatment assignment. As determined by the adjudicators, new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in 0.2% (n=3) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients: two subjects with hypothyroidism and one subject with vitiligo. None of these events was considered related to vaccination by the expert group. No new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in the Engerix-B group. Although not referred to the external group of experts, one hepatitis B vaccine recipient was determined to have Tolosa-Hunt syndrome which is presumed to have an immune-mediated etiology. This event was not considered related to vaccination.
+''Deaths''
-:* (Dosage)
+*One subject (0.05%) died of a pulmonary embolism in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 1 subject (0.2%) died of heart failure in the Engerix-B group. Neither death was considered related to vaccination.
-|fdaLIADPed======Condition 1=====
+=====Study 3 in Subjects 18 through 70 Years of Age=====
+*Study 3 was a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, multicenter study in the United States in which 5587 subjects received at least 1 dose of hepatitis B vaccine and 2781 subjects received at least 1 dose of Engerix-B. Enrolled subjects had no history of hepatitis B vaccination or infection. Hepatitis B vaccine was given as a 2-dose regimen at 0 and 1 month followed by saline placebo at 6 months. Engerix-B was given at 0, 1, and 6 months. In the total study population, the mean age was 50 years; 51% were men; 71% were white, 26% black, 1% Asian, and 9% Hispanic; 48% were obese, 36% had hypertension, 32% had dyslipidemia, and 14% had type 2 diabetes mellitus. These demographic and baseline characteristics were similar in both vaccine groups.
-* Dosing Information
+''Unsolicited Medically-Attended Adverse Events''
+*Subjects were monitored for unsolicited medically-attended adverse events, those for which a subject sought medical care, for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. Overall, medically-attended adverse events were reported in 46.0% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 46.2% of Engerix-B recipients. Herpes zoster was reported in 0.7% of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.3% of Engerix-B recipients. Unsolicited medically-attended adverse events within 28 days following any injection, including placebo, were reported by 20.1% of both hepatitis B vaccine and Engerix-B recipients.
-:* (Dosage)
+''Serious Adverse Events''
+*Subjects were monitored for serious adverse events for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. The percentage of subjects who reported serious adverse events was 6.2% in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 5.3% in the Engerix-B group. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was reported in 0.25% (n=14) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 0.04% (n=1) of Engerix-B recipients. An analysis of serious adverse events likely representing myocardial infarction (MI) was conducted using the standard Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) query (SMQ) for MI. This analysis identified a total of 19 hepatitis B vaccine subjects (0.3%) and 3 Engerix-B subjects (0.1%) with events included in the SMQ for MI (these events include the 15 reports of AMI). Additional evidence, including information on temporal relationship and baseline risk factors, does not support a causal relationship between hepatitis B vaccine administration and AMI. Among the 19 events identified as MI in hepatitis B vaccine recipients, three occurred within 14 days, nine occurred within 53-180 days, and seven occurred more than 180 days following any dose of hepatitis B vaccine. Among the three events identified as MI in EngerixB recipients, one each occurred 13, 115, and 203 days following any dose. All 19 hepatitis B vaccine recipients and 3 Engerix-B recipients reported one or more baseline risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
-=====Condition 2=====
+''Autoimmune Adverse Events''
+*Subjects were monitored for the occurrence of new-onset potentially immune-mediated adverse events for 13 months after the first dose of vaccine. Events were adjudicated as to whether they were autoimmune by an external group of experts who were blinded to treatment assignment. As determined by the adjudicators, new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in 0.1% (n=4) of hepatitis B vaccine recipients [one each of: alopecia areata, polymyalgia rheumatica, ulcerative colitis, and autoimmune thyroiditis (with concurrent diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma)]. None of these events was considered to be related to vaccination by the external experts. No new-onset autoimmune adverse events were reported in the Engerix-B group.
-* Dosing Information
+''Deaths''
+*During the study death was reported in 25 subjects (0.4%) in the hepatitis B vaccine group and 7 subjects (0.3%) in the Engerix-B group. No death was considered related to vaccination.
