SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 96

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug were considered for analysis.

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) seroconversion is defined as a decrease in HBsAg to undetectable levels and a gain of detectable levels of Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb). Sustained HBe seroconversion is defined as loss of HBeAg and presence of hepatitis B e-antibody (HBeAb). This study included 4 HBeAg positive participants.
