Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss in subjects who stop nucles(t)ide analogues (NAs) (Stop arm) compared to subjects who continue (Continue arm) Only subjects who already are on treatment with ETV, TDF or TAF monotherapy, and have achieved sustained virologic suppression (<20 IU/mL), HBeAg negativity, normal ALT for more than 1 year (pretreatment HBeAg + pts) or 3 years (pretreatment HBeAg - pts), plus qHBsAg <200 IU/mL, and HBV RNA or HBcrAg negativity will be included in this study. One treatment arm will stop the NAs therapy while the other treatment arm will continue the NAs therapy. Participants in the Stop arm will be monitored very closely with special focus on clinical relapse. If any participant in the Stop NAs arm exceeds one or more predefined limits for such flares or relapses, NAs treatment will be reinstituted.
