Summary

This trial will compare the traditional hepatitis B vaccine, which can cause nonresponses in some patients, to the CpG-adjuvanted HBV vaccine, which has far fewer rates of nonresponses.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who can consent to participate and are generally healthy. It's not for those with chronic Hepatitis B, pregnant individuals, people with significant anemia or blood clotting issues, anyone on immune-suppressing drugs recently, or if the investigator thinks it's unsafe for them.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of hepatitis B vaccines: the traditional one and a new CpG-adjuvanted vaccine designed to improve immune response. The goal is to understand why some people don't respond well to the current vaccine.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical reactions may include soreness at injection site, mild fever, fatigue or allergic responses. The adjuvant in the new vaccine could potentially cause different or more pronounced reactions.
