About this trial
This is a Phase II Investigator-Initiated Study to understand the vaccinal effect of HBsAg monoclonal Ab VIR-3434 in chronic hepatitis B infection.
The purpose of this study is to test VIR-3434, an experimental drug that specifically targets the HBsAg of hepatitis B virus, to clear it from the body.
This is an open label study and there is no placebo used in this study. All participants will receive the VIR-3434 for 48 weeks and then follow up in the study for 48 weeks. A total duration of approximately 104 weeks including screening period for the entire study.
