Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: •Use of any investigational or non-registered product other than the study vaccines during the period starting 30 days before the first dose of study vaccines or planned use during the study period •Any medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe •Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting six months prior to the first vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone = 10 mg/day or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed •Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the period starting 3 months before the first dose of study vaccines or planned administration during the study period •Use of systemic cytotoxic agents, chronic antiviral agents or Chinese herbal medicines which, in the opinion of the investigator, may have activity against HBV within the previous 6 months prior to randomization into this study. Antiviral treatment/prevention for influenza or herpes simplex virus is allowed •Administration of adenovirus/adenovector-based or MVA-based vaccine within the last 12 months except for adenovirus/adenovector-based COVID-19 vaccines that could be administered up to 30 days prior to the first study vaccine dose (applicable for all patients except for the patients in France) OR Administration of adenovirus/adenovector-based or MVA-based vaccine within the last 12 months (applicable for the patients in France only). •Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol in the period starting 14 days before each dose and ending 30 days after each dose of vaccines, with the exception of influenza vaccine that may be given at any time except within a 7-day period before or after each vaccine dose and COVID-19 vaccine that may be given at any time except within a 30-day period before or after each vaccine dose apart from COVID-19 mRNA based-vaccines that may be administered any time except for the period of 14 days before and 30 days after each study vaccine dose. Note: If the type of COVID-19 vaccine is unknown, the allowed interval of 30 days before or after each study vaccine dose should be followed •Treatment with nephrotoxic drugs or competitors of renal excretion within 2 months prior to Screening or the expectation that patient will receive any of these during the course of the study. TAF/TDF given as NA therapy is allowed •Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the patient has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational vaccine/product •Medical history of cirrhosis or hepatic decompensation. •Medical history of cirrhosis •Medical history of hepatic decompensation •Planned for liver transplantation or previous liver transplantation •Personal or family (first degree) history of autoimmune disease •Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency •History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines •Evidence of Hepatitis C Virus and hepatitis D Virus infection •Suspicion of or confirmed Hepatocellular Carcinoma or any other liver cancer in medical history or at Screening: -Suspicious foci at liver imaging exam -Elevated a-fetoprotein > 50 ng/mL •Documented evidence of other currently active cause of hepatitis •Hematology and biochemistry parameters outside normal clinical range at Screenin
