Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels of the study intervention (that is, JNJ-73763989 + JNJ-56136379 + nucleos\[t\]ide analog \[NA\] and pegylated interferon alpha-2a \[PegIFN-alpha2a\]).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is an intervention specific appendix to the Hepatitis B wings platform trial (PLATFORMPAHPB2001). The study title reflects the original study design and JNJ-56136379 (JNJ-6379) was initially part of the study intervention but has been removed as part of amendment 3 of the study.
