      No Healthy Volunteers
      Inclusion Criteria
      • Positive for HBsAg and HBeAg for more than 6 months prior to baseline

      • Advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis
      • Suspicion of HCC on liver abdominal ultrasound (all patients to have liver abdominal ultrasound within 6 months prior to baseline)
      • History or other evidence of a medical condition associated with chronic liver disease other than CHB including metabolic liver diseases such as hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease or alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency
