ETVr = ETV resistance (rtM204V/I/S plus any substitution at rtT184, rtS202, or rtM250); ADVr/TDFr = ADV/TDF resistance (rtA181T/V or rtN236T = ADVr and TDFr, rtA194T = TDFr only).

Time frame: Year 2

Population: Treated participants who were tested for resistance were analyzed, ie. They met the following selection criteria: 1) participants with HBV DNA ≥ 50 IU/mL at Week 96 or at the last on-treatment visit and 2) who developed VBT. n=participants

Percentage of Participants Who Achieve HBV DNA < Lower Limit of Detection (LOD = 10 IU/mL [Approximately 58 Copies/mL]) at Week 48

HBV DNA assessments were performed using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan HPS assay. LOD is the lowest concentration level that can be determined to be statistically different from a blank (99% confidence). The LOD is typically determined to be in the region where the signal to noise ratio is greater than 5. Limits of detection are matrix-, method-, and analyte-specific.
