Treatment: Drugs: AB-101
AB-101 is an oral small molecule PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor being developed for the treatment of chronic infection with HBV in combination with other agents.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
A placebo is any treatment that has no active properties, such as a sugar pill. We will use matching placebo for this study.

Treatment: Drugs: Nucleos(t)ide Analogue
