This is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 48 weeks of oral (PO) once daily (QD) monotherapy with ALG-000184 versus TDF in treatment naive (TN) or currently not treated (CNT) HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative subjects with chronic HBV infection (inclusive of chronic infection and/or chronic hepatitis).
A total of approximately 200 eligible subjects will be enrolled across 2 study parts. Part 1 will be an evaluation of HBeAg-positive subjects with chronic HBV infection and Part 2 will be an evaluation of HBeAg-negative subjects with chronic HBV infection. Each study part will consist of a main study and an exploratory liver biopsy sub-study.
Following the 48-week double-blind dosing period (Week 48), all participating subjects (in Parts 1 and 2) will be allowed to roll over into a 48 week (i.e., Week 48-96) open-label treatment extension period where they will all receive ALG-000184 monotherapy.
