Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Normal left ventricular heart function as defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to (>=) 5 percent (%), as assessed by 2 dimension electrocardiogram (2DECHO) at screening
- All women must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and Day -1 (of each intervention period, if applicable)
- A woman must not be of childbearing potential
- Part 1 and 3: Must have an estimated creatinine clearance greater than (>) 80 milliliter (mL) per minute at screening, calculated by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula
- Part 2: Must have chronic HBV infection. HBV infection must be documented by serum HBsAg positivity at screening
- Must be fully vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at least 2 weeks prior to screening calculated by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula
- Participants in Cohorts A-I and K in Part 1 must not have maternal and paternal parents and/or grandparents of Asian ethnicity (that is, China, Japan, Korea as confirmed by interview) Participants in Cohort J must have maternal and paternal parents and grandparents of Asian ethnicity (that is, China, Japan, Korea as confirmed by interview)
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of cardiac arrhythmias (example, extrasystole, tachycardia at rest), history of risk factors for Torsades de Pointes syndrome (example, hypokalemia, family history of long QT syndrome) or history or other clinical evidence of significant or unstable cardiac disease (example, angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, diastolic dysfunction, significant arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, and/or clinically significant electrocardiogram ([ECG] abnormalities), moderate to severe valvular disease or uncontrolled hypertension at screening. Any evidence of second and third degree heart block or right bundle branch block is also exclusionary
- Participants with abnormal sinus rhythm (heart rate less than [<] 45 or > 100 beats per minute [bpm]), QT corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 450 milliseconds (ms) for male participants and > 470 ms for female participants, QRS >= 120 ms, PR interval >220 ms, abnormal conduction, or any other clinically significant abnormalities on a 12-lead ECG at screening
- Family history of inherited mitochondrial disorders such as inherited mitochondrial myopathy, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome
- Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-64457744 or its excipients
- History of clinically significant drug allergy such as, but not limited to, sulfonamides and penicillins, or drug allergy witnessed in previous studies with experimental drugs

Part 1: JNJ-64457744 or Placebo (Single Ascending Dose [SAD] Cohorts A-F)
Part 1: JNJ-64457744 (Cohorts G-H)
Part 1: JNJ-64457744 or Placebo (Cohort I)
Part 1: JNJ-64457744 or Placebo (Cohort J)
Part 1: JNJ-64457744 (Cohort K)
Part 2 JNJ-64457744 or Placebo
Part 3: JNJ-64457744 or Placebo (Multiple Ascending Doses [MADs])
Non-Asian healthy participants will receive a SAD of either JNJ-64457744 or matching placebo as an oral formulation under fasted conditions on Day 1. Cohort F will be optional.
Non-Asian healthy participants will receive 3 single doses of JNJ-64457744 as an oral formulation in 3 intervention periods (to assess inter-subject PK-PD) matching the doses evaluated in Cohorts A, C and E for Cohort G and Cohorts B, D and F for Cohort H, under fasted conditions on Day 1. Cohort H will be optional for Intervention period 3.
Non-Asian healthy participants who previously received study intervention under fasted conditions will receive either JNJ-64457744 or matching placebo as an oral formulation (depending upon what was administered previously in Cohorts A to F) under fed conditions on Day 1.
Asian healthy participants will receive a single dose at one single dose level of either JNJ-64457744 or matching placebo, as an oral formulation, under fasted conditions on Day 1.
Optional Cohort K: Non-Asian healthy participants will receive an oral formulation of JNJ-64457744 in the first intervention period and will cross over to receive the other formulation during the second intervention period, under fasted conditions on Day 1.
Chronic hepatitis B participants who are virologically suppressed on nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) treatment (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF], tenofovir alafenamide [TAF] and entecavir [ETV]) will receive a single dose at one single dose level of either JNJ-64457744 or matching placebo as an oral formulation, under fasted condition on Day 1.
Participants will receive MADs of either JNJ-64457744 or matching placebo once weekly under fasted conditions as an oral formulation.
