Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) < 50 IU/mL (Approximately 300 Copies/mL) by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at Week 48
HBV DNA assessments were performed using the Roche COBAS® TaqMan High Pure System (HPS) assay. HBV DNA less than (\<)50 International units per milliliter (IU/mL) = approximately 300 copies/mL. Percentage of participants calculated n/N; n= number of participants with HBV DNA \<50 IU/mL; N = number of participants analyzed.
Week 48
Secondary Outcomes (24)
Percentage of Participants With HBV DNA < 50 IU/mL (Approximately 300 Copies/mL) by PCR at Week 96
Week 96
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve HBV DNA < Lower Limit of Quantitation (LOQ = 29 IU/mL [Approximately 169 Copies/mL]) at Week 48
Week 48
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve HBV DNA < Lower Limit of Quantitation (LOQ = 29 IU/mL [Approximately 169 Copies/mL]) at Week 96
Week 96
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve HBV DNA < Lower Limit of Detection (LOD = 10 IU/mL [Approximately 58 Copies/mL]) at Week 48

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Evidence of lamivudine (LVD) resistance
- Subjects must have a history of previous LVD treatment at screening, and must have evidence of at least 1 LVD resistance substitution (valine, isoleucine, or serine) at reverse transcriptase codon 204 (M204V/I/S)
- Nucleoside- and nucleotide-naive, except for LVD, and had chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection
- Compensated liver function and must have met ALL of the following criteria:International normalization ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5; Serum albumin ≥ 3 g/dL (≥ 30 g/L); Serum total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL (≤ 42.75 μmol/L)
- HBV DNA \> 1.72 x 10\*4\* IU/mL (approximately 10\*5\* copies/mL)
- Documentation of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive and hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb) negative status at screening
- alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 10 \* upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study (and for up to 6 weeks after the last dose of investigational product) in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized
- WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or is not postmenopausal. Post menopausal is defined as:
- Women who are using oral contraceptives, other hormonal contraceptives (vaginal products, skin patches, or implanted or injectable products), or mechanical products such as an intrauterine device or barrier methods (diaphragm, condoms, spermicides) to prevent pregnancy, or are practicing abstinence or where partner is sterile (e.g., vasectomy), should be considered to be of child bearing potential
- WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin) within 72 hours prior to the start of investigational product
You may not qualify if:
- Evidence of decompensated cirrhosis
- Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus , or hepatitis D virus
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Sexually active fertile men not using effective birth control if their partners were WOCBP
- Laboratory values out of protocol-specified range
