Treatments tested in this trial
PBGENE-HBV
Biological/VaccinePBGENE-HBV is an in vivo gene editing intervention based on a novel proprietary ARCUS® platform designed to potentially cure chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) by eliminating cccDNA, the key source of replicating hepatitis B virus, while also inactivating integrated HBV DNA in hepatocytes.
