Percentage of Participants Who Achieve HBV DNA < Lower Limit of Quantitation (LOQ = 29 IU/mL [Approximately 169 Copies/mL]) at Week 48
HBV DNA assessments were performed using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan AmpliPrep assay. LOQ is the level above which quantitative results may be obtained with a specified degree of confidence. The LOQ is mathematically defined as equal to 10 times the standard deviation of the results for a series of replicates used to determine a justifiable limit of detection.
Time frame: Week 48
Population: All treated participants. If a participant is missing the efficacy assessments for a visit, this is considered a failure and is counted as evaluable.
