Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA Levels ≥ 20 IU/mL at Week 48, as Determined by the Modified United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)-Defined Snapshot Algorithm
Week 48

The percentage of participants with HBV DNA ≥ 20 IU/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the modified US FDA-defined snapshot algorithm, which included participants who: 1. Had the last available on-treatment HBV DNA ≥ 20 IU/mL in the Week 48 analysis window (from Day 295 to Day 378, inclusive), or 2. Did not have on-treatment HBV DNA data available in the Week 48 analysis window and * Discontinued study drug prior to or in the Week 48 analysis window due to lack of efficacy, or * Discontinued study drug prior to or in the Week 48 analysis window due to reason other than lack of efficacy and had the last available on-treatment HBV DNA ≥ 20 IU/mL

Percentage of Participants Achieving Virologic Response (Plasma Hepatitis B Virus [HBV] Deoxyribonucleic Acid [DNA] < 20 IU/mL) at Week 24
Week 24

The percentage of participants with HBV DNA \< 20 IU/mL at Week 24 was determined by the Missing = Failure (M = F) approach.

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Graded Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) at Week 24
Week 24

Treatment-emergent AEs were defined as: * Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than the study drug stop date + 3 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug; * Any AEs with onset date on or after the study drug start date for those who have not permanently discontinued study drug; * Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug. The most severe graded AE from all tests was counted for each participant.

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Graded Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities at Week 24
Week 24

Graded treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increased at least 1 toxicity grade from baseline at any postbaseline visit, up to and including the date of last dose of study drug + 3 days for participants who permanently discontinued study drug or the last available date in the database snapshot for participants who were on treatment at the time of the analysis. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant.

Predose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 hours postdose at Week 4 or 8 or 12

AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).
