Conditions

Chronic Hepatitis B

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF; TDF) versus placebo in pediatric population (aged 2 to \< 12 years at the time of enrollment) with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.

Interventions

* Participants weighing ≥ 17 kg will receive TDF one tablet administered orally once daily (150, 200, 250 or 300 mg tablets based on body weight). * Participants weighing \< 17 kg or ≥ 17 kg who are unable to swallow a tablet will receive TDF oral powder in a dose of 8 mg/kg once daily up to a maximum dose of 300 mg.

* Participants weighing ≥ 17 kg will receive TDF placebo tablet administered orally once daily. * Participants weighing \< 17 kg or ≥ 17 kg who are unable to swallow a tablet will receive TDF placebo oral powder once daily.
