A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Phase 1b Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Antiviral Activity of ABI-H3733 in Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

This is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging Phase 1b study of the safety, PK, and antiviral activity of ABI-H3733 in treatment-naïve or off-treatment chronic Hepatitis B virus (cHBV) subjects that are Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive or negative. The study will enroll up to 5 sequential cohorts of 10 subjects each, for a total of up to 50 subjects, randomized 8:2 to receive ABI-H3733 or placebo.
