Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing regimens at Week 24 in participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and Stage 2 or greater chronic kidney disease who have received a liver transplant.
