Week 144: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HBV DNA <300 Copies/mL by PCR Assay and ALT ≤1.0*ULN (Lamivudine Continuous Switch Cohort)
Description
The Lamivudine Continuous Switch Cohort consisted of participants who were nucleoside-naive, HBeAg-positive and received lamivudine in BMS study AI463-022 (NCT00035633) and enrolled in the current study with ≤35 days off treatment between end of dosing in AI463-022 and the switch to entecavir in the current study. This cohort permitted assessment of entecavir, 1.0 mg, provided as switch therapy in the current study.

Title
Week 96: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HBV DNA <300 Copies/mL by PCR Assay and ALT ≤1.0*ULN (Lamivudine Retreatment Switch Cohort)
Description
The Lamivudine Retreatment Switch Cohort consisted of participants who were nucleoside-naive HBeAg negative and enrolled from BMS study AI463-027 (NCT00035789) with >60 days between end of dosing in AI463-027 and the switch to entecavir in the current study. This cohort permitted assessment of entecavir, 1.0 mg, provided as switch therapy in the current study.

Off-treatment Follow-up: Percentage of Participants With Sustained HBV DNA <1,000, <300, and <10,000 Copies/mL by PCR Assay and With ALT ≤1*ULN (Amendment 11 Cohort)
Description
The Amendment 11 Cohort consisted of participants who were HBeAg negative and who had compensated liver disease, a minimum of 192 weeks (4 years) of treatment with entecavir, HBV DNA <300 copies/mL by PCR Assay for ≥48 weeks before end of dosing and on the last observed result ≤24 weeks prior to end of dosing, and serum ALT levels ≤1.0*ULN at the end of study drug dosing. ULN=upper limit of normal.
Time Frame
End of dosing to Weeks 48 and 96 off-treatment follow-up
