Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the effect on the quantitative HBsAg reduction of peginterferon alfa-2a \[PEGASYS\] in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B. Patients will receive PEGASYS 180 mcg sc once weekly. After 24 weeks of treatment, rapid responders will receive another 24 weeks of treatment. After 24 weeks of treatment, slow responders will be randomized to another 24 or 72 weeks of PEGASYS monotherapy, or to 72 weeks PEGASYS plus 36 weeks adefovir (10 mg, po once daily, starting from week 29 of PEGASYS treatment). The anticipated time on study drug is \>2 years.
