Brief summary

This is a Phase 1b/2 platform study framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational candidate(s) and their combinations as potential treatments for adults with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Detailed description

VIR-SHB1-V201 (STRIVE) Sub-Protocol A is a Phase 2 study under the PREVAIL platform trial. This is a multi-center, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of regimens containing VIR-3434, VIR-2218, PEGASYS (PEG-IFNα), and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) in noncirrhotic adult participants with chronic HBV infection that have not received prior NRTI or PEGASYS treatment. VIR-SHB1-V202 (THRIVE) Sub-Protocol B is a Phase 2 study under the PREVAIL platform trial. This is a multi-center open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of regimens containing VIR-3434 and NRTI with or without VIR-2218 in noncirrhotic adult participants with low viral burden of chronic HBV infection.
