Has liver imaging to screen for hepatocellular carcinoma or concomitant pancreaticobiliary disease either in the prior 6 months or at screening. 6.

Has conjugated (direct) bilirubin of = 0.3 mg/dL (i.e. 5.1 µmol/L) e. Has normal or clinically not relevant levels of GGT (= 2.0 ULN) f. International normalized ratio = 1.2 x ULN, unless on anticoagulant therapy g. Platelet count = 100 G/L h. Has albumin =3.5 g/dL. 7. Is not of childbearing potential or, if of childbearing potential, is not pregnant as confirmed by a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin test at screening and is not planning a pregnancy during the course of the study. 8. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and male patients with WOCBP partners must agree to use a dual method of contraception as defined in the study protocol or practice complete abstinence from sexual intercourse if this is the patient’s usual and preferred lifestyle throughout the duration of the study and for 90 days after stopping study drug. Patients who are using hormonal contraceptives should be instructed to use an additional contraceptive measure during the study. Note: A woman is considered of childbearing potential following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for >12 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause. A follicle stimulating hormone level in the postmenopausal range will be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 0

| Main Objective: To determine the effect of EYP001a on top of NA (SOC therapy) on HBsAg plasma levels; Secondary Objective: • To establish the effect of EYP001a on top of NA on HBsAg responder rate at the end of the 16-week EYP001a treatment and at 24-week of follow-up (Week 40). • To establish the effect of EYP001a on top of NA on HBsAg loss rate at the end of the 16-week EYP001a treatment and at 24-week of follow-up (Week 40). • To stablish the HBV virologic failure rate (breakthrough) during the 24-weeks follow-up period after stopping EYP001a with ongoing NA. • To determine HBV viral response, HBV pgRNA, HBcrAg and HbeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBs at the end of the 16-week EYP001a treatment and Week 40 of follow-up. • To explore the safety profile of EYP001a treatment in combination with NA. • To determine the plasma concentration of EYP001a and PD markers (plasma C4 (7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one)), FGF19 and BAs. ;Primary end point(s): Efficacy assessed as HBsAg decline (? log10) from Day 1 to Week 16 of treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From Day 1 to Week 16 of treatment | — |
