Treatment: Drugs - Tenofovir Alafenamide
Treatment: Drugs - VIR-2218
Treatment: Drugs - Nivolumab
Treatment: Drugs - Selgantolimod

Experimental: Cohort 1: TAF + VIR-2218 + SLGN + Nivolumab - Nucleos(t)ide(s) (NUC)-suppressed participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) will receive:

* Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg once daily for 36 weeks (up to 84 weeks).
* VIR-2218 200 mg once every 4 weeks for 24 weeks.

At Week 12 the following will be added:

* Selgantolimod (SLGN) 3 mg once a week on the same day for 24 weeks.
* Nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg once every 4 weeks for up to 24 weeks (Up to protocol amendment 2).

Participants who are on TAF treatment will continue TAF treatment over the duration of study follow-up.

After the implementation of protocol amendment 2, nivolumab treatment was no longer administered.

Experimental: Cohort 2 Group A: VIR-2218 + SLGN + Nivolumab - Viremic participants with CHB will receive:

* VIR-2218 200 mg once every 4 weeks for 24 weeks.

At Week 12, the following will be added:

* SLGN 3 mg once a week on the same day for 24 weeks
* Nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg once every 4 weeks for up to 24 weeks (Up to protocol amendment 2).

Viremic participants who meet criteria to initiate NUC treatment will receive TAF 25 mg once daily for up to 36 weeks during the study.

After the implementation of protocol amendment 2, nivolumab treatment was no longer administered.

Experimental: Cohort 2 Group B: SLGN + Nivolumab - Viremic participants with CHB will receive:

* SLGN 3 mg once a week on the same day for 24 weeks.
* Nivolumab 0.3 mg/kg once every 4 weeks for up to 24 weeks.

Viremic participants who meet criteria to initiate NUC treatment will receive TAF 25 mg once daily for up to 36 weeks during the study.
