Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Participants who have documented chronic HBV infection =6 months prior to screening
and currently receiving stable NA therapy defined as no changes to their NA regimen
from at least 6 months prior to Screening and with no planned changes to the stable
regimen over the duration of the study.

- Plasma or serum HBsAg concentration >100 IU/mL, but no greater than =3000 IU/mL.

- Plasma or serum HBV DNA concentration must be adequately suppressed, defined as plasma
or serum HBV DNA <90 IU/mL.

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =2 × upper limit of normal (ULN).

- Participants who are willing and able to cease their NA treatment in accordance with
the protocol.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Clinically significant abnormalities, aside from chronic HBV infection in medical
history (e.g., moderate severe liver disease other than chronic HBV, acute coronary
syndrome within 6 months of screening, major surgery within 3 months of screening,
significant/unstable cardiac disease, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding diathesis or
coagulopathy) or physical examination.

Co-infection with:

a) Current history of Hepatitis C infection or participants that have been cured for <12
months at the time of screening b) Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), c) Hepatitis D
virus.

- History of or suspected liver cirrhosis and/or evidence of cirrhosis.

- Diagnosed or suspected hepatocellular carcinoma.

- History of malignancy within the past 5 years except for specific cancers that are
cured by surgical resection (e.g., skin cancer). Participants under evaluation for
possible malignancy are not eligible.

- History of vasculitis or presence of symptoms and signs of potential vasculitis (e.g.,
vasculitic rash, skin ulceration, repeated blood detected in urine without identified
cause) or history/presence of other diseases that may be associated with vasculitis
condition (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, relapsing
polychondritis, mononeuritis multiplex).

- History of extrahepatic disorders possibly related to HBV immune conditions (e.g.,
nephrotic syndrome, any type of glomerulonephritis, polyarteritis nodosa,
cryoglobulinemia, uncontrolled hypertension).

- History of alcohol or drug abuse/dependence.

- Currently taking, or took within 3 months of screening, any immunosuppressing drugs
(e.g., prednisone), other than a short course of therapy (=2 weeks) or topical/inhaled
steroid use.

- Participants to whom immunosuppressive treatment, including therapeutic doses of
steroids is contraindicated, should not be considered for enrolment in the study.

- Currently taking, or has taken within 12 months of Screening, any interferon
containing therapy.

- Participants requiring anti coagulation therapies (e.g., warfarin, Factor Xa
inhibitors) or anti-platelet agents (like clopidogrel or aspirin) unless treatment can
safely be discontinued throughout duration of the study, by the discretion of the
investigator. Occasional use is permitted.

- Prior treatment with any oligonucleotide or siRNA within 12 months prior to the first
dosing day.

- Prior treatment with bepirovirsen.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is intended to confirm the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and the
durability of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) suppression observed with
bepirovirsen for 24 weeks (with loading doses) as compared to the placebo arm. This study
will have 4 stages: a) Double-blind treatment (bepirovirsen or placebo) for 24 weeks. b)
Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for 24 weeks. c) NA cessation stage OR Continue NA for
24 weeks. d) Durability of response and follow up for further 24 weeks for participants who
stopped NA treatment at Week 48. The arms will be stratified based on HBsAg level (HBsAg
greater than or equal to [=] 100 international unit per milliliter [IU/mL] to less than or
equal [=]1000 IU/mL or greater than [>] 1000 IU/mL to =3000 IU/mL) at screening. The total
duration of the study, including screening (up to 60 days), the double-blind treatment stage
(24 weeks), the On NA only stage (24 weeks), and the NA cessation and durability stages (48
weeks) is up to approximately 104 weeks at maximum for each participant.
