About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of AHB-171 in participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Study advancement to subsequent parts/cohorts will require satisfactory interim reviews of available cumulative safety data by the Safety Review Committees (SRC), using the safety criteria and review procedures described in the protocol.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female participants, aged 18-65 years old (inclusive)

Body Mass Index between 19 to 35 kg/m2 (inclusive)

Body weight > or = 45 kg.

Documented HBV infection for ≥6 months prior to randomization.

Disqualifiers

Significant medical conditions other than chronic HBV (e.g. recent heart issues, unstable cardiac disease, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, prior organ transplant).

Other clinically significant liver diseases (e.g. hepatitis from other causes, autoimmune or alcoholic liver disease, prior liver failure).

History of suspected or confirmed cirrhosis (based on FibroScan® or biopsy).

Current, past, or suspected liver cancer, or elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥ 20 ng/mL.
