Brief Summary

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

This is a study of the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) in naive, interferon- or lamivudine-pretreated participants with HBeAg-positive chronic HBV. Following 48 weeks treatment, there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
