Week 144: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HBV DNA <300 Copies/mL by PCR Assay and ALT ≤1.0*ULN (Lamivudine Retreatment Switch Cohort)

The Lamivudine Retreatment Switch Cohort consisted of participants who were nucleoside-naive HBeAg negative and enrolled from BMS study AI463-027 (NCT00035789) with \>60 days between end of dosing in AI463-027 and the switch to entecavir in the current study. This cohort permitted assessment of entecavir, 1.0 mg, provided as switch therapy in the current study.

Week 192: Percentage of Participants With Histologic Improvement (Efficacy Evaluable Cohort)

The Knodell Histologic Activity Index scores stage of necrosis and grade of inflammation in liver biopsies. Components are necrosis near the portal vein, intralobular degeneration and focal necrosis, portal inflammation, and fibrosis. The 4 components are scored from 1 to 4 and 1 to 10 (necrosis near the portal vein) and combined for a total score, with 22 being the highest possible score. Higher the score for each component=greater liver damage. Histologic improvement=a ≥2-point reduction in total Knodell score and no worsening in fibrosis. Cohort participants had to have adequate baseline and long-term biopsy samples and baseline Knodell necroinflammatory scores ≥2.

Time frame: Baseline to Week 192

Population: Subset of participants who who had evaluable paired liver biopsy results at Phase 3 study baseline and on their last observed biopsies performed in the current study. (n=number of evaluable participants)

Week 192: Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Fibrosis (Efficacy Evaluable Cohort)

The Ishak Modification for Hepatic Activity Index (HAI) scores necroinflammatory activity in chronic hepatitis. 0=no fibrosis, 1=fibrosis expansion of some portal areas, 2=fibrosis expansion of most portal areas, 3=fibrosis expansion of most portal areas with occasional bridging, 4=fibrosis expansion of portal areas with marked bridging, 5=incomplete cirrhosis, 6=probable or definite cirrhosis. Higher score=more severe necrosis. Improvement in fibrosis=≥1-point reduction in HAI score. Cohort participants had to have adequate baseline and long-term biopsy samples and baseline Knodell scores ≥2.
