Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsUp to 72 weeks

Describes the number of participants with One or More Adverse Events while they were on treatment with the study drug.

Percentage of Participants With Premature Treatment DiscontinuationUp to 72 weeks

Describes the number of participants who discontinued treatment with ABI-H2158/placebo prematurely.

Change From Baseline in Mean log10 HBV DNABaseline and Week 24

HBV DNA was measured by Cobas AmpliPrep/ Cobas TaqMan HBV Test v2.0 (LOD 10 IU/mL). The analysis of data was descriptive only.

Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory ResultsUp to 72 weeks

Severity grades were defined by Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities \[The DAIDS Version 2.1\]. For maximum postbaseline toxicity grade, the most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant. For each individual laboratory test, the most severe graded abnormality for that test was counted for a participant. A treatment-emergent laboratory abnormality was defined as an increase of at least 1 toxicity grade from baseline at any time postbaseline up to and including the date of last dose of ABI-H2158/Placebo plus 28 days.
