• Participants, who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
• Written or witnessed/thumb printed informed consent obtained from the participant prior to performance of any study-specific procedure.
• A male or female between, and including, 18 and 65 years of age at the time of signing of the informed consent.
• Participants who are Hepatitis B envelop antigen (HBeAg) positive or negative.
• Participants who have documented chronic HBV infection =6 months prior to screening and currently receiving stable NA therapy population defined as no changes to their nucleos(t)ide regimen from at least 6 months prior to screening and with no planned changes to the stable regimen over the duration of the study.
• CHB patient, under and adherent to treatment with a NA with high barrier to resistance (e.g. entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and tenofovir alafenamide).
• Participants with ALT = 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) documented in last 6 months.
• Participants with plasma or serum HBsAg concentration >100 IU/mL.
• Participants must be adequately suppressed, defined as plasma or serum HBV DNA <90 IU/mL.
• A male participant is eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study intervention
- Refrain from donating sperm
- AND be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below
o Agree to use a male condom [and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak] when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currently pregnant
• A female participant is eligible to participate:
- If she is not pregnant or breastfeeding
- AND at least one of the following conditions applies:
o Is not a WOCBP
o Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), preferably with low user dependency during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.
• A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
- If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
