Placebo plus ETV

Arm Description

ABI-2158 300 mg tablet once daily for 72 weeks plus ETV 0.5 mg tablet once daily for 96 weeks

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
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 Discontinuation
Describes the number of participants who discontinued treatment with ABI-H2158/placebo prematurely.
Change From Baseline in Mean log10 HBV DNA
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 Results
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Trough Plasma Concentration of ABI-H2158
Trough-to-Peak Plasma Concentration Ratio of ABI-H2158
Trough Plasma Concentration of ETV
Trough-to-Peak Plasma Concentration Ratio of ETV
Change in Mean log10 HBV pgRNA From Baseline to Week 24 and at Each Timepoint for ABI-H2158+ETV and PBO+ETV
Number of Participants With Reduction in HBV DNA Below the Assay Lower Limit of Quantitation
Number of Participants With Reduction in HBV pgRNA Below the Assay Lower Limit of Quantitation
Change From Baseline in Serum HBV Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
Change From Baseline in Serum HBV "e" Antigen (HBeAg)
Change From Baseline in Serum HBV Core-related Antigen (HBcrAg)
Proportion of Subjects With Abnormal ALT at Baseline Who Have Normal ALT at Week 24 and at Each Timepoint on ABI-H2158+ETV and PBO+ETV
Ncidence of HBV Variants With Reduced Susceptibility to ABI-H2158
Change in Mean log10 HBV DNA for ABI-H2158+ETV and PBO+ETV at Each Timepoint
