A

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To assess proportion of patients with absence of inflammation in liver biopsy at study entry and combine the histological assessment with serological evaluations.

Secondary Outcome Measures

To assess the HBV DNA PCR negativity at 4th-6th year treatment with telbivudine (LDT), in selected patients who have completed study CLDT600ACN04 and will continue telbivudine treatment
To evaluate the percentage of patients with HBeAg loss and/or gain of detectable level of HBeAb in HBeAg positive CHB at baseline of NV-02B-007 or NV-02B-015 studies
To evaluate percentage of patients with with HBsAg loss and/or HBsAg seroconversion
To evaluate the changes in Knodell inflammatory and fibrosis scores from biopsy at study entry compared to biopsy at baseline of studies NV-02B-007 and NV-02B-015
