Inclusion Criteria

  • Written informed consent
  • HBsAg-positive candidates for HBV-related liver transplant
  • Treatment with antiviral therapy before transplantation as per treating physician's recommendation. (NOTE: It is expected that most patients will receive Lamivudine or Adefovir Dipivoxil pre-transplant. In the case of antiviral resistance, an effective alternative antiviral agent(s) must be used.)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Multi-organ transplantation recipients
  • Liver re-transplantation except for primary non-function
  • Presence of a hepatoma (larger than 5.0 cm as a solitary node) or 2 to 3 multi-focal nodes (larger than 3.0 cm each) (Milan Criteria) based on information available at baseline visit (CT scan, MRI).
  • Patients requiring an OLT (Orthotopic Liver Transplant)due to fulminant hepatitis B
  • OLT patients receiving a liver graft from a donor that is positive for HBsAg
  • Patients using interferon pre-transplant (as interferon cannot be used post-transplant)
  • History of IgA (immunoglobulin A) deficiency
  • History of hypersensitivity to blood products.
  • HIV or HCV positive
  • Use of an investigational product, or participation in another clinical trial during the course of the study (with the exception of quality-of-life or repository studies)
  • Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the course of the study
