PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: As the sample size requirement for the study was not met, the study was terminated; no data for any of the participants was collected.

A participant was considered to have achieved suppression of Hepatitis B Virus Deoxyribonucleic Acid (HBV DNA) to \<2,000 International Units Per Milliliter (IU/mL) if the HBV DNA measurement is lower than 2,000 IU/mL.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: As the sample size requirement for the study was not met, the study was terminated; no data for any of the participants was collected.

HBeAg is a protein from the Hepatitis B virus that circulates in infected blood when the virus is actively replicating. The presence of HBeAg suggests that the participant is infectious and is able to spread the virus to other people. HBeAg-negative hepatitis B is a form of the virus that does not cause infected cells to secrete HBeAg. Participant can be infected with the HBeAg-negative form of the virus from the beginning, or the viral mutation can emerge later in the course of infection in participant initially infected with the HBeAg-positive form of the virus.

Timeframe: Up to 24 months

Population: As the sample size requirement for the study was not met, the study was terminated; no data for any of the participants was collected.

A participant was considered to have achieved suppression of HBV DNA to \<2,000 IU/mL if the HBV DNA measurement is lower than 2,000 IU/mL.

Loss of HBeAg is defined as the absence of HBeAg. A participant was considered to have achieved HBeAg loss if the HBeAg measurement was reported as (a) 'NEGATIVE' or (b) a quantitative result was lower than the reported lower detection limit.

HBeAg seroconversion is defined as the absence of HBeAg and the presence of antibody to hepatitis B antigen (anti-HBe) . A participant was considered to have achieved suppression of HBV DNA to \<2,000 IU/mL if the HBV DNA measurement is lower than 2,000 IU/mL.

Population: Participants present at the time of assessment were used for analysis.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product
