Brief Summary
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of study treatment(s) (selgantolimod-containing combination therapies) and to evaluate the efficacy of study treatment(s) as measured by the proportion of participants who achieve functional cure, defined as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss and hepatitis B virus (HBV)deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at Follow-up (FU) Week 24 in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Arms & Interventions
Cohort 1: TAF + VIR-2218 + SLGN + Nivolumab
Nucleos(t)ide(s) (NUC)-suppressed participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) will receive tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg orally once daily (QD) for 36 weeks and VIR-2218 200 mg subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 24 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Functional Cure
Time Frame: At Follow-up Week 24 (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2A: At Week 60; Cohort 2B: At Week 48)
Functional cure was defined as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss and hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) less than the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at follow-up Week 24. LLOQ for HBV DNA CAP/CTM 2.0 is 20 IU/mL. LLOQ for HBV DNA Cobas 6800 is 10 IU/mL. The HBsAg loss was defined as HBsAg changing from positive at baseline to negative at any postbaseline visit. Percentages were rounded off.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants With HBsAg Loss With and Without Anti-HBsAg Seroconversion(Up to Follow-up Week 48 (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2A: At Week 84; Cohort 2B: At Week 72))
- Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B e Antigen (HBeAg) Loss With and Without Anti-HBeAg Seroconversion in Participants With CHB Who Are HBeAg-Positive at Baseline(Up to Follow-up Week 48 (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2A: At Week 84; Cohort 2B: At Week 72))
- Percentage of Participants Who Remain Off NUC Treatment During Follow-Up(Cohort 1 and Cohort 2A: From Week 36 up to Week 84 and for Cohort 2B: From Week 24 up to Week 72)
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Virologic Breakthrough During Study Treatments(Up to 36 Weeks)
