Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Reporting Clinically Significant Adverse Events - Medically-attended Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest

    Time frame: Week 56

    The percentage of participants with Medically-attended adverse events (MAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). MAEs are Adverse events (AEs) for which a subject sought medical attention at a doctor's office, clinic or study site, or emergency room, or was hospitalized. SAEs are AEs that met the definition of Serious per FDA regulations. Immune-mediated AESIs are AEs that were confirmed to be autoimmune in etiology.

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have a Seroprotective Immune Response

    Time frame: Week 28

    Percentage of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have a seroprotective immune response (anti-HBs ≥ 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) who receive HEPLISAV compared with subjects who receive Engerix-B
