Brief Summary

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

This three-part, Phase 1 protocol will be the first clinical study of AB-101. Parts 1 and 2 will be a Phase 1a SAD/MAD of AB-101 in healthy adult subjects.

Part 3 will be a Phase 1b dose-ranging assessment of AB-101 in non-cirrhotic Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) subjects.
