About this trial
This is a Phase Ib/II, multicenter, randomized, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of LW231 in participants with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The trial will include multiple-dose regimens of LW231 and assess LW231 in combination with NUCs.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who was administered a pharmaceutical product (including investigational drug) during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptom, or disease that was temporally associated with the use of the investigational product, regardless of whether it was considered to be related to the investigational product or not.
