MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change (Measured in log10 IU/mL) in Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) From Baseline at Week 24Baseline; Week 24The change from baseline to Week 24 in HBsAg (log10 IU/mL) was analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model included treatment, baseline HBsAg (log10 IU/mL), baseline Hepatitis B Envelope Antigen (HBeAg) status (positive or negative), baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level relative to upper limit of normal (ULN) (\> 19 vs ≤ 19 IU/L for females; \> 30 vs ≤ 30 IU/L for males), visit and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, and visit as a repeated measure.

Mean Change (Measured in log10 IU/mL) in Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) From Baseline at Week 24

The change from baseline to Week 24 in HBsAg (log10 IU/mL) was analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). The model included treatment, baseline HBsAg (log10 IU/mL), baseline Hepatitis B Envelope Antigen (HBeAg) status (positive or negative), baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level relative to upper limit of normal (ULN) (\> 19 vs ≤ 19 IU/L for females; \> 30 vs ≤ 30 IU/L for males), visit and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, and visit as a repeated measure.

Time frame: Baseline; Week 24

Population: The Full Analysis Set included all participants who were randomized and took at least 1 dose of study drug.
