Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent [if country/site age requirements for consent differ, the more stringent (e.g., higher age) restriction will be required for that country/site]. 2. Participants who have documented chronic HBV infection =6 months prior to screening AND a.Not currently on nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy population defined as participants who never received HBV treatment (treatment naïve) OR must have ended nucleos(t)ide therapy at least 6 months prior to the screening visit b.

A male participant is eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment i. Refrain from donating sperm ii. AND be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below 1.

Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) 2. OR is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), preferably with low user dependency during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment iii. A WOCBP must have both 1. A confirmed menstrual period prior to the first dose of study intervention [additional evaluation (e.g., amenorrhea in athletes, birth control) should also be considered] 2. AND a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test [urine or serum] within 24 hours before the first dose of study treatment Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are located in Appendix 2. The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an e
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Clinically significant abnormalities, aside from chronic HBV infection in medical history (e.g., moderate-severe liver disease other than chronic HBV, acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of screening, major surgery within 3 months of screening, significant/unstable cardiac disease, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy) or physical examination 2. Co-infection with: a. Current or past history of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) b. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) c. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) 3. History of or suspected liver cirrhosis and/or evidence of cirrhosis as determined by a. both Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-Platelet Index (APRI) >2 and FibroSure/FibroTest result >0.7 i. If only one parameter (APRI or FibroSure/FibroTest) result is positive, a discussion with the Medical Monitor is required before inclusion in study is permitted b. Regardless of APRI of Fibrosure/FibroTest score, if the participant meets one of the following criteria, they will be excluded from the study I. Liver biopsy (i.e., Metavir Score F4) ii. Liver stiffness >12 kPa 4. Diagnosed or suspected hepatocellular carcinoma as evidenced by the following a. Alpha-fetoprotein concentration =200 ng/mL b. If the screening alpha fetoprotein concentration is =50 ng/mL and <200 ng/mL, the absence of liver mass must be documented by imaging within 6 months before randomization 5. History of malignancy within the past 5 years with the exception of specific cancers that are cured by surgical resection (e.g., skin cancer). Participants under evaluation for possible malignancy are not eligible. 6. History of vasculitis or presence of symptoms and signs of potential vasculitis [e.g., vasculitic rash, skin ulceration, repeated blood detected in urine without identified cause] or history/presence of other diseases that may be associated with vasculitis condition (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, relapsing polychondritis, mononeuritis multiplex) 7. History of extrahepatic disorders possibly related to HBV immune conditions (e.g., nephrotic syndrome, any type of glomerulonephritis, polyarteritis nodosa, cryoglobulinaemia, uncontrolled hypertension) 8. Positive (or borderline positive) ANCA at screening; a. Participants that meet this criteria may be considered for inclusion in the study following: i. Analysis of MPO-ANCA [pANCA] and PR3-ANCA [cANCA] AND ii. A discussion with the Medical Monitor to review participant’s complete medical history to ensure no past history or current manifestations of a vasculitic/inflammatory/auto-immune condition 9. Low C3 at screening AND evidence of past history or current manifestations of vasculitic/inflammatory/auto-immune conditions a. All participants with low C3 at screening should have their medical history discussed with the Medical Monitor prior to enrolment 10. History of alcohol or drug abuse/dependence a. Current alcohol use as judged by investigator to potentially interfere with participant compliance b. History of or current drug abuse/dependence as judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with participant compliance i. Refers to illicit drugs and substances with abuse potential. Medications that are used by the participant as directed, whether over-the-counter or through prescription, are acceptable and would not meet the exclusion criteria 11.

| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of the three dosing regimens of GSK3228836 in participants with CHB ;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of GSK3228836 on biomarkers and virus-specific antibody responses To compare the efficacy between 12 weeks, 12 weeks + 12 weeks step-down, and 24 weeks of GSK3228836 treatment To characterize GSK3228836 and nucleos(t)ide PK in participants with CHB;Primary end point(s): Primary estimands supporting the primary objective are defined as: Population: separate assessment for participants with CHB on stable nucleos(t)ide therapy and participants with CHB not currently on nucleos(t)ide therapy. Variable: Sustained virologic response for 24 weeks after the end of GSK3228836 treatment in the absence of rescue medication. Treatments: arms 1, 2, & 3. Estimation of the within-arm response rate. Intercurrent events: use of rescue medication and discontinuation of/interruption of/adherence to IP. The use of rescue medication has been incorporated into the definition of variable (composite strategy). Discontinuation of, interruption of, and adherence to IP will be ignored (treatment policy). Wide disruptive events preventing assessment of primary outcome will be handled assuming they had not happened (hypothetical strategy) Population summary: proportion of participants who achieve SVR for each treatment arm. The primary estimands for each sub-population is the proportion of participants in each treatment arm 1, 2, & 3 who achieve SVR for 24 weeks after the end of GSK3228836 treatment in the absence of rescue medication regardless of completing IP, interruptions in IP or adherence to IP had they not been affected by wide disruptive events. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Weekly during the treatment period (Day 1 to Day 162; with additional visits for loading dose on Day 4 and Day 11) and then decrease in frequency during the off-treatment period (8 visits over 24 weeks; Off-treatment weeks: Off treatment week 1, we | — |
