Study Arms (2)
ROADMAP Group (Group I)
EXPERIMENTALPatients were to take telbivudine 600 mg orally daily from Baseline.At Week 24, patients in Group I were split into Group I-A or Group I-B based on their virologic load: * Group I-A: This group of patients was those with HBV DNA ≥300 copies/mL at Week 24 and adefovir was to be added at Week 28; * Group I-B: This group of patients was those with HBV DNA \<300 copies/mL at Week 24. Telbivudine monotherapy was to be continued until there was a viral breakthrough (confirmed by two examinations with at least 1 month interval with compliance factor excluded) and then adefovir was to be added; The total treatment duration was 104 weeks.
SOC (Standard of Care) Group (Group II)
ACTIVE COMPARATORpatients were to take telbivudine 600 mg monotherapy from Baseline until Week 104. If viral breakthrough (defined as HBV DNA 1 log10 above nadir) was confirmed (by two examinations with at least a 1 month interval with compliance factor excluded), adefovir 10 mg daily was to be added.
