Brief Summary

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

The study is an open-label, randomized, comparative, multicenter clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of ABX203, a new chronic hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine administered as an adjunct therapy to nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs), in maintaining control of Hepatitis B disease after cessation of treatment with NUCs in subjects with HBeAg negative chronic Hepatitis B.
