Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
HBV DNA < lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), 10 IU/mL, HBsAg < limit of detection (LOD), 0.05 IU/mL with or without hepatitis B virus surface antibody (HBsAb) 24 weeks after discontinuation of all chronic hepatitis B treatment.
Highly sensitive HBsAg < 0.005 IU/mL and HBV DNA < LLOQ (10 IU/mL) at the end of treatment.
Secondary outcomes
HBV DNA < LLOQ, 10 IU/mL, and HBsAg < 10 IU/mL 24 weeks after discontinuation of all chronic hepatitis B treatment.
HBV DNA < LLOQ 24 weeks after discontinuation of all chronic hepatitis B treatment.
HBV DNA < LLOQ and HBsAg < 100 IU/mL 24 weeks after discontinuation of all chronic hepatitis B treatment.
HBsAg seroconversion rate 24 weeks after discontinuation of all chronic hepatitis B treatment.
HBsAg seroconversion : serum HBsAg\<LOD, and at the same time or subsequently, HBsAb\>10 IU/L.
