Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS (peginterferon alfa-2a) in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B. Patients will be stratified into group A (treatment naïve patients) or B (YMDD mutant patients). All patients will receive PEGASYS 180 micrograms subcutaneously once weekly for 48 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of treatment-free follow up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Virus DNA <100,000 Copies/mL At Week 72
Participants who had Hepatitis B Virus Deoxyribonucleic Acid (HBV-DNA) levels below 100,000 copies per milliliter (mL) at the end of follow-up (EOF) period (24 weeks after the end of treatment) were classified as responders.
Week 72
Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Virus e Antigen Loss At Week 72
Participants with loss of hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) at the EOF period (24 weeks after the end of treatment) were classified as responders.

Study Arms (2)
PEG-IFN alfa-2a (Treatment naïve)
EXPERIMENTALEligible treatment naïve participants received peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS) 180 micrograms (mcg) subcutaneously (SC) once weekly for 48 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of treatment-free follow-up.
PEG-IFN alfa-2a (YMDD mutant)
EXPERIMENTALEligible tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) mutant participants received PEGASYS 180 mcg SC once weekly for 48 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of treatment-free follow- up. Participants received lamivudine concomitantly for the initial 12 weeks.
Interventions
Peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) 180 mcg subcutaneously once a week for 48 weeks
